Not at this time, to my knowledge.

Hmm if 472 is the recommended gear level for Coil, with base stats and DL + Heavy Darksteel I can only hit 436 Accy without slotting accy materia. Even with 2 parry and 2 accuracy, i can only hit 460 accuracy.

Is it worth not equiping DL rings and keeping Hoplite for the accuracy? Changing 6 Determination for 11 accuracy for 3 less vit and 4 less parry?

Keep in mind that HQ toast should give you some accuracy too, but to rely on food for accuracy is a bit flawed imo, i would rather have it on my set in case I die and get rezed.

Also accuracy cap is VERY important if you are doing the interrupts on the ADSs, wouldn't want a High voltage going off when its your turn to interrupt and you miss.

I personally still run a hoplite ring, and before i got my myth chest and head I ran the hoplite earrings for accuracy, it helps out a ton on threat because a missed link in the combo causes the combo to break if i remember correctly.

I hope 2.1 comes soon

BTW, here's how im leveling

Thoughts on +1 relic or some other myth items first?

+1 Curtana would be the last upgrade I'd make, in my honest opinion. +1 Holy Shield is worth it, and only demands a week's worth of work.

Otherwise, it'd depend on what Allagan gear you obtain during Coil. In my instance, I got Allagan Body, so I got Valor Head instead of Valor Body.

Thats kind of what I was thinking. I have like 1200 after I cap this week. 300 for the shield gives me 900 to play with. Should I wait until after we run Coil to see what drops or buy something now?

Depends on your situation. Assuming you're in a static, you could go ahead and spend it right now just so if something does drop, you can let your tank partner have it. But if it's an "every man for himself" type of deal, then it could be a good idea to wait and see if you get lucky.
