Long day I guess...
Awesome thanks for the info this really helps. I was fairly low in the acc department but i brought it up yesterday so I will continue to tweak and figure out what it is I need.
Also managed to finally clear T5 today with a PF group. It took us many tries but the last run was flawless which was really nice and the dps all round was very good. I also noticed a good boost after I brought up my acc. At least now I can enter the second coil and hopefully grab some much better gear.
How so? A tick of regen is the same as casting Cure on the tank before he has generated emnity on every enemy.

For what it's worth, Coil 1-5 also drops i90 gear but some pieces are better for summoner than the mythology items. Given equal item level, the item with determination (or critical hit rate) that DOESN'T have spell speed is flat out an upgrade for a summoner. As long as you meet the required minimum item level, you are fine to go into Coil 1-5. Just keep in mind they are a lot tougher encounters than things like CT. It might be helpful to read a guide or watch a video so you know what you're doing, especially since your gear level will be lower than most others.
I recently worked on getting summoner geared up as I intended to switch from bard to summoner, so here's a list I had made of interesting items worth picking up:

Nothing from Second Coil, just Coil 1-4, soldiery, and myth stuff, but getting these items will boost your damage up pretty nicely.
Note: I listed the saurian gloves there. They're crafted and slightly expensive but they're not overmelded so not TOO expensive.
Damn DRG Sold gear has way too much accuracy. I have like 30+ more accuracy than I need. Not sure what I can do.

You should see my alt SCH spamming heals like no tomorrow with my lvl 5 armor and lvl 25 hat in dzemael darkhold
Too busy to talk or else tank dies!
A lot of parties really aren't used to dealing with new players, which is unfortunate. Usually when I suspect somebody is new I'll ask before a boss fight.
Occasionally people won't say anything though, and I don't realize they're new until the achievement pops. It's not a big deal though, I just kinda wish people would speak up. XD
Granted, sometimes people will leave if they hear somebody is new, so staying quiet night make sense.

I don't care much for speaking in dungeons but if someone asks for tips on a boss, I'll help out.
Thats all Im asking really haha.
If there's a newbie, I give a simple rundown before the boss whether they ask or not. lol
It says at the beginning of the dungeon if there's a new person. Sometimes I'll click on the characters and check their search/class info to see who it is, while waiting for everyone to finish loading.

You made it to Ultros right?
I spent 8 minutes out of 10 dead but.. yay. XD!
Too early for soldery increase. And it's easy to cap if you do one expert a day anyway.
Yeah, I know but I wanted them to increase sol. also. >_>
Moved to Excalibur.

They should increase the amount of soldiery you get from Second Coil, why so stingy?

Considering everyone and their mother will be running CT2 for equivalent ilvl gear, there's really no reason to increase soldiery either by how much you get per instance or even the cap. You'll be getting soldiery from more sources in 2.3 which is more than enough considering it will no longer be the only ilvl 100 gear. They want you to go after the new CT gear, not bypass it on every alt you have by getting nothing but soldiery gear.
you got me killed twice trying to revive you...but it was good scholar practice
You're playing again? I don't believe it.

I'm surprised that so many people are getting in groups where parties don't help newer players. Groups I've been in pipe up right away, and seem to pay attention to the note in chat that it's someone's first time in the dungeon. It's not like it takes a huge amount of time to explain that stuff. Boggles my mind the lack of patience some people have, then they'll have the gaul to complain about inexperienced players after. >_<

One way why I can see why people may not have much patience for new players is a lot of us had to figure this stuff out on our own...or just looked up the information online. It's not that hard to just power up the google machine and find the information there. I'll help others out but I won't hold their hand and I'll try to point them in directions where they can learn even more or what not.
But being rude doesn't get you anywhere.

When it comes to that, I just don't really feel like wasting my and the other people's time by being unfamiliar with a fight or a dungeon. Obviously this doesn't apply when they just came out, I had fun trying to figure out the 2.1 dungeons with GAF folks the day they came out. For the most part, I would rather just be familiar with anything before trying it (I have this same attitude with single player games too)
purostrider's bis needs acc food to hit the acc cap (he uses 470), since acc food is more expensive and i still have a lot of buttons, i'm going to try and aim for the 474 acc set with either 519 or 490 ss, just try using ariyala's gear calculator
Yep, at least when I have the time to. Obviously I'm not as active as I was circa 2.0, but I'll be back in September, since I'll have more time to play then.
Doing this always sucks, takes part of the fun out of the battle. But hey, if you're late and you're playing with others who know it, you're in the minority there and will most likely end up being told what to do anyway. It's why I try to do newer content as early as possible, it's exciting figuring out what's supposed to be done during a fight.
You could always say find a group that's learning it, but the longer you are late to the party, the harder it is to find one since everyone already knows it.

It sucks yes but that is the reality for a lot of these new players. And quite a few are willing to hop into a farm group instead of joined a learning group first.
It's better than having to rely on a random drop from FATE's.
You don't have to grind fates for Alex if you don't want to. They give you options for the rest of the quest. Finally having gotten animus after 13500 myth and being told straight away that to even begin the next stage I have to spend another 1500 made me really pissed off. Its just unoriginal and a slap in the face.
Speaking of things that pissed me off, got the High Allagan Boots yesterday for my Bard finally so I decided I'd convert my old Saurian Boots because I couldn't do anything else with it. got Water Materia of course. Stupid boots had 2 Savage Aim IV's in them .
This game is pushing me to quit it lately. Really shitting me up the wall.

Alchemist Class got a bit of a raw deal in the crafting long imo. Hit Level 14 and I've pretty much crafted everything in the class log. Not a lot of stuff to craft in the 15-17 department which means not a lot of added exp for a new entry

Drama's green thumb will be rewarded.
Was hoping these could be gathered instead.

We don't know yields yet but unless they are absolutely insanely high, this is going to suck majorly. How do you decide who gets to use the item in a large FC? Especially if they go as fast as one an hour. Making the level cap increase vegetable from gardening is fine, not many people have level 10 chocobos and the demand will be slow/low, enough time to grow enough for most people over long enough time. But even the basic ones?
This would make more sense if we actually had the personal housing and could have our own gardens, hell even a miniature garden in our private rooms would of been alright, but since they are taking their sweet time on that front this seems poorly designed.
