Yes, but Weapon damage is really high now too. Around 10.6 for DRG, and MNK should have pretty similar. That's more than 20 Weighted STR just from that, which is hard to catch up to with our secondary stats being so low...

You can do the math yourself using the stat weights for DRG as a base, then increase/decrease however you want within reason, and you'll find that it's not possible. EDIT: didn't mean to come off as hostile if it sounded like that, just meant that once you start doing the math yourself, you will quickly see how much the weapon wins by in every scenario

The weapon damage + STR on the weapon, gives you around 29 STR right off the bat.

I've also tried to do some calculations on what to get with Esoteric tomes, and it's hard because we don't have the exact stat weights yet, but I've been looking specifically at the coming 3 weeks of Eso. In other words, I'm including 2 weeks after getting the weapon, cause then we can get Chest/Legs into the mix too.

From my math and predictions regarding weights, it's pretty close between buying Belt + Bracelet(1 week after weapon), then follow that up with Ring... Or you get Legs + Ring(2 weeks after weapon). EDIT: well, you get the ring 1 week after weapon.

Both routes take the same amount of time, but the first one costs 75 less Eso. You run into the problem of maybe getting a 210 Savage bracelet though, and in that case it would've been better to go with the other route...

Unless someone can come up with something better, I'm going with the Legs + ring route, but I hope someone does try to come up with a better route, cause I want to know the best way forward

I have been saving eso for weapon but i just looted ravana's, is-it better to update weapons or focus on jewelry and other things ?

Weapon for sure. Accessories won't give you big gains, their main function when initially gearing is perhaps to assist with accuracy caps. That said, if your plan is to buy weapon first then body, you can afford to get a belt/acc one week after your weapon without having to wait any longer than you would have without for the body. Even if that accessory would be upgraded from i170-200 for example, weapon is still better.

ok i just 181 with my mnk using 180 Weapon
head 170 which i will change to 180 pvp head and melding it.
feet is also 180 pvp plan on melding it.
waiste is 180 pvp plan on melding it.
i have the tekko 180 atm but will also change it to 180 pvp and melding it.
body right now i have 180 togi but will get 180 pvp and meld it.
legs ill do last and prolly wilkl just stick with the 190.

accessories i have 180 pvp neck and ring and 190 the rest.

so my question is this. looking at the secondary stats for pvp looks amazing and on top of that all are meldable. so is the stat weight right now worth it to spend on melding them 180 pvp piece and will it beat out the 190? or should i just go with 190? also gil is not a problem and materia nmot a problem since i have alot of it and dont know what to do with it. im almost to rank 47 pvp and will be buying bought head and gloves.

I'm pretty sure those melds will not work outside of PvP.

afaik, only the pvp materia are affected my which content you are in, regular materia, ie savage aim, savage might, etc, should all still work.

so ur saying secondary stat materia like crit and det will work outside of pvp? either way even not melded for a 180 i think stats on certain pieces have better stats overal.
pvp 180
headv str 48 vit 48 crit 30 det 40
gloves str 48 vit 48 det 40 SS 30
belt str 36 vit 36 crit 32 SS 22
feet str 48 vit 48 det 28 SS 42.

now im going for 190 leggings and body. body will take me 4 weeks since ive been saving springs for legs.
