How to Dragoon Per Second: A DPS Paradigm

[Dervy]

As for Optimal Gearing Paths, I've calculated the Weight Per/Eso so it's efficient. These are all i200, not i210. So if you are able to upgrade these items, it may vary for you.

Belt: 0.141024
Neck: 0.13916
Legs: 0.1370642
Head: 0.1368424
Boots: 0.1301414


So if you do not need accuracy, you should prioritise those items.

Nexts weeks upgrade should be the Belt, mandatory. Afterwards, your upgrade path all depends on your accuracy/skillspeed and your personal preferences.

If you don't need Accuracy:

Week 1: Weapon
Week 2: Belt
Week 3: You have 885 Tomes left over

If you don't need accuracy, you could go for the Helmet + Necklace for an immediate upgrade, or grab the Legs, which is the highest weighted single item.

Having said that, Legs have a weight of 113.078. Necklace has a weight of 52.185, and the Helmet is 67.737. So for the same cost as the Legs, you can get 119.992 weight on Week 3.

So, if you're going for the Helmet/Neck, over the Legs, you can change your upgrade path to this:

Week 1: Weapon
Week 2: Belt + Necklace
Week 3: You have 510 tomes left over, so you'll need to decide if you need more Accuracy or not.

If you don't need accuracy, you could go for the Helmet or save up another week for the Legs. Personally, I'd get the Helmet out of the way. But this will now mean you'll need to save up 2 weeks to get the Legs/Chest, so whilst you'll be heavily DPS geared, you're lacking on Defence/Vit.

If you need accuracy, you have the boots, which are god tier for Accuracy/DPS wise. Alternatively, you can save up another week and get the Chest.

So, you could make your upgrade path this:

Week 1: Weapon
Week 2: Belt
Week 3: Boots/Chest (depending on the amount of accuracy you need)
