Of different kinds, yes. The same DL ring, no.

Oh well, one less item to grind tomes for. ATM Chest bought with ToM, got AF1 head (I'm doing AK runs each week like mad, never seen hoplite head drop), rest is AK minus hoplite neck + ring.

I'm wondering on upgrade prios right now. I bought Valor Surcoat (it's pretty!) and am not sure if I should buy shield upgrade first, or head piece if AK drop doesn't erm drop for me till next week. Any thoughts?

Hey Pixel, your thread are awesome, loved it

I have question here as well

You seems to place Curtana +1 as first priority (from quote) my friends says should get Holy Shield +1 first and can skip Sword because its worthless....

I dunno what is true and why

Mathematically threat is determined by weapon damage then strength then determination. That being said if you want to raise the threat ceiling for your group you should definitely pick the sword up first. To be fair every other class needs 900 mythos to +1 their weapon whereas you can +1 both your sword and shield for the same cost. There really is no reason not to do so.

Thanks for clarify Pixelshader

Peoples still bullshit at me "Why you pick sword +1 and lol lol lol"

So I'm on a crossroads in terms of what get to get.

Currently I've got 580 tomes of myth (240/300) and 355 tomes of phil which I'm saving up for relic.

By the end of next week I'll have 940 tomes of myth.

All my gear is DL except for pants and 2nd ring which is hoplite.

I've got hoplite head, body, pants and legs.

So at this point, I've narrowed it down to either getting the pants (825) or ring + leg (870).

I also did some stat comparisons of the gear as well.

I noticed that the pants, body and arms are better than their allagan counterparts as well, however my FC isn't even ready for Titan atm.

Valor pants: 13 str 15 vit 10 parry 24 accuracy -17 crit

Hero Ring: 7 vit 3 parry 5 accuracy

Valor Legs: 8 str 9 vit 15 parry 10 accuracy -10 deter

+ ring = 8 str 16 vit 18 parry 15 accuracy -10 deter

Other:

Valor Gauntlet: 6 str 6 vit 10 parry 15 crit -16 accuracy

Valor Surcoat: 6 str 8 vit 2 parry 17 deter 15 accuracy -30 crit

this is really helpful, thanks mAn
