Since the question is bound to come up:

Week 1: Feetx2,Legsx2,Slaying Ring (Feet Done)
Week 2: Waist,Slaying Accessory,Legsx2 (Waist, Legs Done)
Week 3: Slaying Accessory, Headx2, Hands (Head Done)
Week 4: slaying/accessory,Hands, Done/Body (Hands Done plus all 4 slaying accessories)

The body is terrible and we'll have AF body within 4 weeks. (released in two weeks, and more then likely two weeks of tomes)

If you need VIT accessories just use the i180s.

Damn I messed up. Raage.

I took accessory, head, and chest piece so far. Just need a piece from 2 this week now.

I just went through blind and just rolled... bad idea.

[Kiteless]

Wouldn't that make week 1 5 drops?

You get a free accessory for clearing.

You get a free accessory for clearing.

but we dont know is its a one time thing or if its a weekly like the ct weekly. If the latter is true then I guess I can get vit accessories too. Im not planning on getting 190 vit accessories outside of the ring since I highly doubt the hp cap for Alexander normal is that high.

Umm.whats this again?

I hope this answers my question about if all tokens drop from all 4 floors, or if they're dropped on specific floors only. That was going to take quite a while to gear up if it was.

They drop on specific floors.

Regarding the chestpiece... we don't have enough information to determine that it's a good idea to ignore it. Here's a few facts:

1. With the sole exception of Law Gear, every single Tank Chestpiece buyable with Tomes has had Parry on it.
2. In the last 2.5 raids(second coil, final coil, alex normal), the Chestpiece for Tanks has been locked behind the last fight of the raid.
3. If a piece of Blue Gear shares its look with another piece exactly with the sole difference of being dyable, it is due to an upgrade to the original undyable piece.
4. It has been stated that Alex Savage gear will be physically identical to Alex Normal gear with the differences being a higher item level and being dyable.

Here's some possible theories we can concoct due to this.

A. The Esoterics Chestpieces for all three Tanks stand a high chance of having Parry.
B. There is a possibility that Savage Alex gear will be obtained by upgrading Normal Alex gear through items obtained from the Savage fights. I feel like the "Prototype" prefix is also evidence for this, as it screams for an upgraded version that changes the prefix to indicate a finished product.
C. The Tank Chestpiece(and possibly every chestpiece) will likely be gated behind the last fight of Alex Savage.

Therefore, it's probably a good idea to get chestpiece tokens during our first two weeks here. Just in case.

Thanks SirTaint, Donjo.

I'm curious if with the removal of additional Parry effects on STR, they somehow made the actual "+ Parry" Stat more useful?

Just wishful thinking, but if so, perhaps we can get some tests w/ stacking a bunch of +Parry on the new Alexander drops to see if it ever changes beyond the flat 20%?

If not, I'm baffled, because Yoshi P just put in a totally useless stat.
