No Salvage Fixes until after march of next year? Camate tell me it isnt so.

[Quiznor]

Kinda sad that new Nyzul didn't solve the alex problem at all since not alot of ppl are doing it. I often check every bazaar, and /shout all the time, but hardly find anyone selling alex. Some of the salvage gears used to be decent at 90 cap still, that I was still able to drag a few ppl to enter with me and do savalge for alex, now it's near IMPOSSIBLE to find anyone interested in salvage gears. Even if I occassionally able to find a few ppl interested in trying it, there's no way I can drag them to do SSR everyday for 1 year. No matter how rich you are, they're just not on the market.


The only way to finish Mythic I can think of, is to trio box 3 accounts and farm SSR everyday. And that's just not reasonable, to ask players to pay 3x amount of money to complete a weapon. Every other Mythic requirements are very easy, but alex is really a pain in the ass unless SE release salvage gear augment or +2 version, or remove the 3 player entrance restrictions.

Or fix that neo nyzul so more ppl interested in doing nyzul at least.

Even making more players do neo nyzul I dont think would fix anything.The alexandrite situation in there that I've noticed so far is absolutely dire.Just a little while ago we did a run.THF with TH7 base,we killed 6 gears,5 ramparts,1 NM and a boss HNM and didnt even get a single piece/pouch to drop.Out of my entire 5 neo nyzul isle runs,I've counted a total of.......


5 pieces dropping.

5 pieces dropping.

Ugh I don't like seeing that at all. I knew that Neo Nyzul wasn't going to help the problem at all.
There is just too much Alexandrites needed and not enough on the market. Not only that, but when you do find it it's 15k+ per alexandrite. Nobody wants to spend 450 million gil on just one part of a quest. You can build almost 3 relic weapons with that much gil. SE really needs to fix this because no player should have to deal with something as frustrating as that.

alexandrites sell very fast for 15k just saying. People are willing to spend 500M on a mythic ( and 500M of today is 50M of @75 cap). After trying to farm alex in salvage a few weeks ago, even selling @15k each, i realized it is totally not worth farming ( random number varying from 25 to 85 in a silversea run, clearing every possible NM and gear/door on the way including boss). If you compare to dynamis, alexandrites are as rare/common as forgotten items, which sell for 25~50k each.

Sounds like you guys are having bad luck with Alex. O.o; In one run, we got a total of 31. Second run, 19. Third one, 14. Every time we killed an NM, we got Alex.

[Kimble]

I cant understand how anyone could think otherwise x_x Its RIGHT THERE in english,that they would be adjusting the alexandrite drop rate,at the same time as nyzul isle 2.0 is brought in,BEFORE the major overhaul of salvage to ease the pressure until then.

Reading comprehension is funny like that.

You can actually get a very consistent 80~85 Alexandrite average if you do Hammerblow->Powderkeg->GG3->Turtle-> Boss (clear all the archaic machinery on the way)

The gil/hr isn't as good as Dynamis, but you can only do Dynamis for 2 hours a day.

500M of today is 50M of @75 cap

Well thought out conclusion there, but no it isn't. There isn't much more gil in circulation compared to 75 cap - the difference is there's a lot less people for it to filter between.

[Monchat]

gil is 10x easier to make thanks to dynamis nowadays, I didn't say there is more gils. A solo BST will make 2-3 million gils in 2H today. Back at 75 you were happy with 100k per hour on THF( which was what demon farming in catle zwahl was giving for example.)

[Dazusu]

That doesn't equate to 50M = 500M

You're kidding, right?

An excess of "free" gil flooding into the market and no reasonable gil sinks equates to there being the same amount of gil in the market? Right now, the only way gil disappears is when players quit with hundreds of millions of gil. And no one does that. People with money either give it away or RMT it when they quit the vast majority of the time, keeping the gil in circulation.

I've lost count of the number of people I know with 100M+ and nothing to spend it on.
