So would it be better getting Belt and ring soldiery first or legs first?

I have no idea which one getting first, but this is what I did: Get the crafted chest/gloves/belt/shoes, meld em, save soldiery for weapon, and wear the items you get from Coil accordingly. Once you got the weapon, maybe it's easier to find out which one getting first. But this ain't gonna work if you're stuck somewhere T6-T8 so..

[KaosPrimeZero]

Pretty much stuck between there, however 5 melding will be very expensive :/

[Misake]

It is gonna be expensive now indeed. I bought mine before patch, and bought some early patch so it was still affordable

Will look up prices but it may not be possible at the moment. Is there a site that states what melding limits are?

General rule of thumb is crit, acc, and skill speed can all have the same maximum allocation on pieces, but det being worth more so you won't be able to put as much on there. If the gear for other classes are any indicator then (which as far as I've seen it is):
Head, gloves, and boots should allow for 21 acc/crit/ss and 15 det.
Chest/legs should allow for 34 acc/crit/ss and 24 det.
Belt should allow for 16 acc/crit/ss and 12 det.

Thanks. Will look into it. Should decide to go with soldier isles the next best thing to invest in?

Updated the BiS. They confirmed the real stat on Gloam Boots. So basically it's the same as the weathered one.

Yeah, this is what I built out as well when I saw that they confirmed which stats were the right for the boots today. So +3 str, +2det, +2ss on the upgraded boots if the other upgrades are any indicator for the secondary stat upgrades.

Hello everyone.We're actually with my FC farming coil and we'll be soon at T8(T7 will fall today)
I'm playing the melee and my main class has alwyas been DRG.But i lvld up a monk for cross kill first then just for the class to have both of them and being versatile.Considering this it's useless to say that i CANT spend my soldiery for both of them.Atm i use my monk cause i dropped the head+earing on T6 and i feel like the fight is much better in T7 with him(not loosing GL stacks often and not missing my heavy trust because this stupid turn himself to throw fireballs :S)
So i'm wondering ,can i try to go for almost full alagan?I know the stats are not the best but since i'll have the lvl 100 weapon (and 110 later i hope) and will spend my soldiery for weapon + DRG item,i can just count on loots.
