It would suck to have to do things with people, I know.
Actually nixing the procs would make dynamis even better. The changes to Dynamis made relics more reasonable to do. Procs, however, are just an unnecessary task to make this more work.
The only thing I can understand about it is that it is something that encourages having more people to help you out with.
The people who *** about salvage are those who couldn't or wouldn't do it at 75 (they probably didn't try hard enough), and haven't tried it since. Actually, it's the same people who *** about any remotely challenging content, or content that whilst easy does actually take a bit of communication.
Current salvage at 95 is easy to do with a few friends (it might take a few runs to learn it and get used to calling cells, but just don't cry because you can't do it perfectly immidiately), it's actually pretty fun when you do it with 2-3 other friends, and some of the drops are still very good, or even best in slot for certain circumstances even at 95. Usu feet are used in the best TP setup for Nin, Morri Body is still the best Rdm nuking body, Ares cuirass is the best Torcleaver body, Skadi feet have +12% movement, good whilst waiting for fuijin boots to not drop, or for bst who don't have muh else, marduk body is still a great FC piece for whm, skadi hands are still great WS hands for cor. They hardly cost anything to upgrade now, and you should be getting at least 50 alex a run which is about 500k split between you.
People who complain about salvage being a bad event are either people who struggled at 75 and don't want to give it another shot, or just terrible players.
I'm just hoping that the availability of Alexandrites will very significantly increase is that is the case. Even originally, when Salvage was the big thing, MYthics were still unreasonable to do, especially due to the Alexandrites. Now it's even more unreasonable to do and the price for Alexandrites are ridiculously high.
Back then, the difficult of obtaining Alexandrites were even more difficult than Dynamis currencies, obviously, nowadays, it's beyond ridiculous. Especially given the fact that 30,000 Alexandrites is only one part of the quest, which honestly made this even more unreasonable.
It's great that Alexandrites would be dropping in Nyzul I've been wanting this for a long time, seeing it'll go hand in hand with the Nyzul token requirements. However, my main concern is whether this will interfere with the main Nyzul goal or not, but I guess in the end we'll see.
bleh i remember when they announced dropping the cost of the dyna glass from 1M to 500k it had the opposite effect everyone and there mom all of a sudden thought they could build a relic, at least on my server thats what happend
Alexandrite prices need to be fixed fast. They're hitting 20k per piece on several servers. 600m is the price of three relic weapons. Add in the fact you need all this other work to complete a mythic it's beyond ludicrous.
Without incentive to do Salvage, or additional supply this situation is not going to improve. You might as well write mythics out of the game honestly. I have a good proportion of the requirements for a mythic complete and all of the rest are within my grasp except for the alexandrite portion.
The supply is not high enough, the interest in Salvage for many people is not high enough. I love Salvage but even my group is now struggling to maintain momentum.
Please let us know
a) whether we really are going to be able to upgrade Salvage gear and (if so)
b) when that is likely to happen. Right now, it looks like not until next summer. If the upcoming new magian trials include it, please let us know.
I'm utterly sick of being a WHM right now in terms of rare weaponry. I have my Surya's staff +3 and that is great. But the mythic weapon is irrelevant to my job. WHM are not DD. We can (and do) mess around and DD but that is not our required role. I have a gambanteinn, over halfway to 85. It's a personal trophy piece. Yagrush is not. Yagrush is useful and inaccessible.
I'm not adverse to farming, I'm not adverse to spamming events but the Alexandrite component of the mythic is ridiculous. Alex needs to be in such plentiful supply that you're buying it for less than 1k a piece. Even at 1k that's 30m gil.
Mythics aren't about hard work, right now they're about RMT or extreme selfishness/devotion.
