Best Weathered Auroral gear purchases from first to least cost effective*:
Neck > Earrings > Waist > Ring > Body
If you clear turn 7 and get the Sands of Time, Body obviously becomes a priority.
Without the Sands of Time item, Bard's Shirt is still BiS.
It's my personal opinion that it's not worth purchasing gear with Soldiery if you're just going to replace it with High Allagan later, so the slots mentioned above would be best to keep your current gear in those slots until you get the lucky drop.
*cost effective: taking the stats the new item has, subtracting the BiS from 2.1, and then taking the difference and dividing it by the cost for the new item.
Tidal Wave Bow / Rosenbogen: Rosebogen costs 1300 soldiery and a turn 8 clear, but when it comes down to ACC it's not that much more powerful. However, if ACC isn't a problem, Rosenbogen is very superior. However x2, Turn 9 is just around the corner... it really comes down to if 1300 Soldiery is worth much to you or not.
Also, you have to be lucky with the Mirror in Levi so again, what is 1300 Soldiery worth to you~
._. I miss my gear calculator... still questioning my math.
