Hello Dev's (I'm assuming that you check this thread and hope that you do at least).

Lately i've been seeing a big thing on my server alone for Mythic weapons and attempting to build one from scratch (I am one of those people). With the introduction of Mythic's Back in mid-late 2006/2007, the requirements for 30k alex's were acceptable because many people were doing Salvage 1 back then. But with the introduction of Salvage II and it being able to be solo'd is it still feasible for the requirements to build a mythic to still be high when the amount of people still doing this stuff are extremely low?

1.) 30k Alexandrite's are intense. Even if you never buy any alexandrite's and do Salvage II everyday and walk away with on average 120 every run, that comes out to be alittle over 8-9 months to build one from scratch just from the alexandrite's alone. Is there any plans on reducing the required amount to say 15k instead?

2.) ToAU Beastmen god's pop rate. Is there anyway that we can make this to be where the god's can be popped via an item or reducing their time window to something realistic? I have pour'd over multiple sites to see if there is any information regarding these spawn times and conditions and NO ONE can tell me that information. I've read where it takes 10+ days for a single one to spawn and even a GM would have to be called for it.

3.) Making Einherjar soloable. Currently yes one person can go in there and lay waste to the entire zone...but if you don't have 6 people all together, you're kicked out regardless after 10 mins. You made Salvage to be solo'd, why not Einherjar?

4.) Reduction in the amount of Ichor and Nyzul tokens. 100k/150k is an insane amount required when you're only getting 1-3k per run if you're with a sucky group and what at most 5-7k if you're with a good group.

Any help with these would be greatly appreciated to the people looking to build a mythic. Empy's are easy to do now and so are relic's because you can just go into a zone and get what you need. Just last night I did Dynamis and walked away with 400 Bronzepieces. Why not make it a slight more easier for Mythic's?

You are very much correct about the Beastman Kings' spawn rate, which is ridiculous (especially since it's part of the prerequisite that comes before the main Mythic quest). They really should do something about that because it deters players from even starting a weapon.

You should not get kicked out of Einherjar after 10 minutes considering that the only reason to even do it anymore is for ampoules. There is no congestion (and even if there were, there are 3 tier 3 chambers for people to use).

As for the requirements themselves, the sheer numbers are daunting, but very much doable. If you have the playtime, farm for gil and buy alexandrite on the side. It helps if you look at the ilvl 119 weapon as the final goal and treat the level 75 weapon as only a stepping stone. Once you finish the level 75 weapon, you're pretty much done. The trials to take it to ilvl 119 are trivial in comparison to other legendary weapons. Put this into perspective and the process doesn't seem so bad and you'll end up with the best-in-slot weapon for your favorite job.

Just add Therion Ichor and Nyzul tokens to the A.M.A.N. coupon exchange. The alexandrite isn't so bad, emprians have HMP's and Relic has both the initial currency, the umbral marrows, AND now plutons, but you could potentially solo all that, at least via buying them. But with nyzul and einherjar being both impossible to solo, and impossible to get help for since everything is worthless, therein, we really ought to be able to get 1000 ichor/tokens per coupon and just grind away the currency like any other weapon.

It would still be a hefty time investment, what with being able to get 6 coupons a day max? If you're able to log on for every limited time record that is, meaning having the game available 24/7. It wouldn't much speed anything up, it'd just not make you waste 11 other people's time to do it.
