ATTN DEVS: Attaining Mythic Weapons Needs To Be Reconfigured

[Sayomi]

Im sure a new breed of weapons will arise with the expansion RNF doesnt look like any normal sword, and bells aren't really a weapon class we can pick as well, besides those event ones, so with any luck hopefully waiting for this expansion to come will change the game a bit, or will turn out to be nothing special and insanely hard to obtain anything new or alone like previous expansions have shown us thru history.

Before Expansion: "Maybe this expansion will change everything!" . . . After Expansion hits: "OMG these zones are so COOL and everything is so AWESOME!" Hours later when all your friends log off and everyone you know: "Ummmm so....lets see if I can kill this by myself......anyone online? I need a raise..." (Back then people cared about getting K.O'd losing exp stunk)

Ah what the hell, I hope this expansion changes everything!

Only if the price will drop, people won't do it anymore. It needs to be comparable to Dynamis in terms of making money for people to actually do it. If the price drops, that is no longer the case and people won't do it to sell anymore, but only to keep. Hence, it will hurt the amount of Alex in circulation.

The price isn't going to change much, I shouldn't think... price drops = more people willing to buy them instead of just soloing their own = price rise = more people doing salvage to sell alex = price drop etc. etc. etc. eventually it'll find a niche price and stay there.

Edit: not to mention, people might actually want to do salvage for new gear^^

This would hold somewhat true if there was a constant demand for it. But there's not enough people even trying to build a mythic, and a majority of the ones who do are not willing to pay anything near the amount required to make the event profitable for people farming to sell. Reducing the requirements would actually achieve that. It would, in fact, motivate even more people to actually build them, because even if the Alex price stays the same the total price would still go down. This solution won't help, because if the Alex price drops, people won't farm them anymore and supply will stall. But if the price goes up again, more people will stop building their mythics, because currently they cost up to 600M, and almost no one is willing to pay that price.

Really getting tired of the devs saying that they are aware of the issue, don't worry, X event will fix the problem. Nyzul didn't fix the problem; it made it worse. How hard is it, seriously, to sit down for 5 minutes, and increase the drop rate in salvage. That's all you have to do. All you have to do is increase the drop rate in salvage . . . increase the drop rate in salvage . . . in salvage. Stop deferring this issue again and again while it gets worse and worse. This should have been fixed six months ago.

How about the devs make it so we don't need an entire server farming up items just to make ONE weapon.

Id be happy with a in game mini map oh so happy

That was random.

Happy Monday everyone!

We have still been seeing quite a few requests for increased Alexandrite circulation to help facilitate players’ journey towards their mythic weapons.

While Alexandrite can now be obtained in Nyzul Isle Uncharted Area Survey, circulation is increasing, but the volume is not quite there yet. One reason for this is that Salvage activity is much lower now than it was previously. However, as we will be expanding Salvage and revamping it later this year, we will the amount of Alexandrite in circulation should see a steady increase, so we’d like to ask you all to give us some time until then. Once this is implemented we would like to hear any feedback you have in regards to the amount of Alexandrite in circulation.

Then I would suggest fixing order lamps in neo nyzle. Once you patch that dat swap "bug", no one will clear neo nyzle and supply will spike down again.

If you can 2-box SSR, your total take will be comparable to a Dynamis run. The issue is of course, now you need 2 characters to play and a 3rd to help get you in. I think this is the largest obstacle to getting people to farm Salvage for gil. And if you have to split the alex it immediately loses its appeal.

Another issue is that only one of the zones is consistently profitable (SSR) and everybody would want to farm it. So while people have suggested removing the 3 person requirement to enter, there would then be competition for that single zone. I've read that you can only have 3 Salvage/Nyzul instances at a given time, which may or may not be accurate.

And that's my point. Right now it's worth farming. But if the price of Alex drops it won't be anymore, especially not if you have to split it. Hence less people will actually farm them and supply will drop. And don't kid yourself if you think new Salvage will put out more than 100 Alex per run per person (my current average in SSR).

That statement would be hard to disprove, and I have no hard information either way, but nothing I currently know supports that theory.
