Calculated optimal Myth spending for BRDs

[tOnni3]

May be they went shirt coz DL armor look ugly or they love pink :3

Does this even take into account BiS? No way am I going to use myth to buy the boots and neck when Allagan is better. I know drops are limited and random, but seeing as how it will take me til early January to buy everything besides those 2 pieces I think I would rather gamble on luck rather than spend 3weeks of myth tomes on gear that could get replaced the very next day

@Magnesium02
I don't think this is considering BiS.

The way I have it listed is : Coil- Head,Boots,Neck,Ring. Myth- Chest,belt,earring,pants,weapon,gloves,ring.

Myth hat is better

Myth hat is better

Coil hat is a turn 2 drop which most guilds can get on farm status rather easily making the hat a rather non-optimal early purchase in my opinion.

Silly to make the allagan hat go to alts for a 6 crit increase when myth tomes are so limited.

Why does no one ever take Gryphonskin gear into consideration when making these lists?

I personally have most of the Gryphonskin gear and I haven't regretted my decision yet. The increase in stats may look small on paper but when it's all added together it's a pretty substantial jump over DL. Sure, I invested quite a bit of time to grind the 20,000+ philosophy tomes to get the armor/accessories but really, what else is there to do at endgame?

Coil only takes 2 hours to clear up to turn 5 and Coil itself exactly crapping out BRD loot left and right. Myth tomes take weeks until you can get your big pieces. That money and time spent is easily made up in that long wait for myth pieces.

Long story short, I say if you're tired of DL and you want a nice upgrade that allows you to be flexible while waiting on Myth purchases by all means go with the Gryphonskin. It doesn't hurt to have extra crit, VIT and determination to better round out your character.

Yeah it almost makes sense to get Allagan over Myth. All these numbers are built around having ilvl70 mixed in till you get full 90.
They are gonna change when CT comes out. But still be the same if you gear out in full ilvl90

/applaud to you sir.
I just made a gryphoskin ring. It allowed me to use Dps food instead of Acc food which is a nice tiny buff. Every point you can add up just to do a little more is always good. Sometimes it matters like in Turn 4 if you dont get the first Dread down or the final one while it enrages.
