Which AF+1 firstFollow

Yarr need be gett'n der bottes+1 firstes.

I'd definitely focus on hat or feet. Personally, I went for the hat. The difference between the two upgrades isn't so great that I would neglect a pirate's most important piece of gear... his hat. ^^

So, yeah, I went with the hat mostly for style. >.>

Feet are my first pick, since they're good for all three main phases of the COR game.
Ranged/WS - No contest here, they're the best thing going with R.Acc, STR, and AGI.
QD - AGI+5 makes them the likely best QD feet.
Melee - Acc+4 and STR+5 (though they aren't the best, they're not far from the top)

The hat is my #2 choice. Outside of Anwig Salade with QD or ranged-focused augments, it's the best thing you can RA/WS or QD in.

Body is third, but a strong piece as well. If you ignore (1) the very hard to get and very expensive Skadi body and (2) a ranged-augmented Mirke Wardecors; it's arguably the best thing you can RA/WS in (only Denali has an argument here, but I'd certainly go with AF+1 for Slug Shot at least). Decent QD piece too with +5 AGI.

Legs are #4. 5 AGI makes it a strong QD piece.

Hands. Well... only real reason to have them is to be able to say 5/5.

Why would people rate this down? It's solid advice, plus the added awesomeness of pirate talk!!!

1. A full ranged focused Mirke does indeed overshadow AF+1 (as does Skadi's Curie). But unless someone has both RNG and COR 75, it's unlikely they'll go with the full ranged Mirke (if you're COR main only, it's probably better used as a QD piece).

2. Anwig making AF+1 irrelevant is just plain wrong. AF+1 is still the best QD piece we have with "Enhances QD" and AGI+4. The AGI+4 as a WS modifier is also arguably better for Detonator than a ranged-focused Anwig and its extra R.Acc. It is true that the WS Acc augment makes Anwig the best choice for Slug. It's also a little more common to see a COR who doesn't also play RNG get the WS Acc and Ranged augments, meaning AF+1 isn't needed for Slug (in fact, I have the WS Acc and Acc/Atk augments on my Anwig, made primarily for PUP and MNK multi-hit WS - and even with one irrelevant augment, the WS Acc makes it my choice for Slug).

Ya thx for the advice guys. bottes+1 Nine :D

For Detonator I still think the RATT 5, STR 4 will be better than AGI 4, STR 4. And that doesn't even take into account the RACC bonus of the anwig which essentially allows you to drop considerable RACC gear elsewhere for STR (i.e. Alky's, warwolf, Rajas, Flame). Detonator is accurate but you still can miss it without reasonable accuracy.

I agree that the AF+1 is the best QD hat beating the AF hat by 4 AGI. Is that 4 AGI worth all those ancient beastcoins and months trying to get the items? Not to me. Anything that I can sleep, I have enough AGI already to do so. Things that resist sleep will do so even with max AGI. Any fight where QD is my major source of damage, I'm not really contributing that much to the fight to begin with other than rolls.

So its a min-max type of thing. If you have to be the COR with every slot maxed, the AF+1 is worth it to you as a QD piece. To me, I have little desire to maximize QD as its utility for most of what I do on COR is minimal beyond light based sleeping. Others may get more mileage if they do long kited fights. I don't. So wasting inv space and money to acquire this piece isn't a priority at all.
