ATTN DEVS and COMMUNITY REPS: Mythics

[Staren]

Hoping we'll hear something from a rep soon. Seems it been nothing but pup sch bst updates since before the 10/4 update. Maybe we can get an actual useful update from them soon.

It took me two months to buy all the Alexandrite for a Mythic. I got lucky with supplies, but it wasn't an unimaginably difficult barrier. Einherjar, in comparison, is taking me much longer.

Make gil and buy Alexandrite. Keep increasing the price of Alexandrite until supply goes up to a level that you like. People farm Dynamis for gil. They'll farm Salvage for gil if you make it worth their while.

We're at 200 mil in I understand your concept but its not like all of us have 600 mil just laying around to blow. We've been working since september and are about 14,000 in will be done by early december if we do dyna everyday and cleaves on the weekend when we have more time outside of dyna. Still you have to admit its a ridiculous requirement.

[Byrth]

Well, at 75 it looked like this:
Assaults, starting from nothing - 100 normal assaults, ~75-100 Nyzul Isle runs (200 runs/days, approximately)
Einherjar, starting from 0 amps - ~70 Einherjar runs. 210 days, and more realistically 245 days (twice a week)
Alexandrite, starting from 0 Alex - ??? depends on your gil making ability

So the other parts of the same stage appear to be designed to take about 6 months. You're finishing your Alexandrite in 3~4 months, so I'm not sure they'd really see that as wrong/bad.

[Staren]

That's only because we found a way to make at minimum 4mil a day. A few months ago that wouldn't have been feasible for us and for most players that's not normal. I'm counting myself as fortunate but also this will be completely based on if we can keep finding alex and buying at a max of 15k an alex.

I think you're underestimating the incredible amount of inflation Abyssea introduced to the game. People make 1mil/hr just farming (Dynamis) these days, compared to the 100k/hr farming (anything) they'd have made two years ago. If you had put out the same amount of effort, I'm not sure it would have taken you more or less time in the past to gather the same number of Alexandrite, because their price has scaled up at the same rate as the gil/hr people can make.

[Staren]

I dont know I think its a deterrent in general. 90 Mil 2-3 years ago I'd have told you was impossible. 450-600 mil 2 months ago I would have told you and I still say is chasing windmills. I think its just getting off your butt and working on it at this point seeing the results we've gotten. If dyna coin prices crash in the next few months or people stop paying for cleave parties I think it'll be out of our reach again.

Basically this. I thought I'd be working on a mythic and collecting Alexandrite for a year and I finished it in two months.

[Shoko]

Oh yeah, I'd also like a PM on some gil making tips. Really don't wanna stop at 9k alex remaining after reading this. PM be Sho on BG.

[Alhanelem]

Kill things that drop gil.
NPC items you don't need.
Sell things worth money on the AH.

There's your gil making tips. You're acting like there's some kind of magic secret that someone's not going to tell you publicly.
