Alexandrite

[Byrth]

First I'd like to agree and also say that Alexandrite needs to be increased in availability. The prices on Alex are just so high atm... I really can't believe it.

One thing I'd really like to know is does Alex truly sell for like 10k~ now? This question has been plaguing me a lot recently because I usually sell any Alex I get at around 6k~ since anymore I feel is rather a ripoff... >.< Who knows, peeps probably have been buying my Alex and trying to sell for more, but I just couldn't imagine spending around 300mil~ for a weapon that's probably outclassed by an Empy (In terms of DD weapons since some Mythics are truly one-of-a-kind).

They don't just sell for 10k... they sell quickly for 10k. People (like me) are desperate to collect them and supply is pretty limited relative to how many you need to complete a weapon.

If I saw alex for 6k in a quantity larger than 50 I'd buy it all and resell it to byrth for 10k

You're a dear. <3

Phaffi sold me 17 Alex that he found at 3k each a week ago, which was the cheapest Alex to go towards my hoard (barring farmed or given). I got about a stack and a half at 3.5k near the beginning, which was the second cheapest. The majority of my Alexandrite was bought for 8k, but the market is a solid 10k each now with some people bazaaring at 12k.

Hey guys, you who don't want to commit to a mythic that costs several hundred millions before you have nearly all the alexandrite required are absolutely sane, and the people disagreeing with you are complete loonies.

Just felt a need to say this.

Yes to either being able to reclaim traded-in alexandrite, or make an item that in some way or another is worth a bunch of alexandrite. A "Box of alexandrite" item that contained 99 alexandrites, stackable to 12 (or 99, whatever), would also be acceptable.

Let em just chop 15,000 Alex off the total for completion. No clue at all why Mythics are now double to triple the cost of relic. It's really the only way a person could justify paying 8~12k per alex in the current economy.

The issue of the ludicrous Alexandrite requirement for Mythics aside (seriously, that's the only thing really preventing me from actually getting a Yagrush, as I have most of the other requirements), I think the OP's suggestion is a fantastic one. Ancient currency for Relics effectively does this already, so I never really understood why Alexandrites didn't have an equivalent 100-piece item.

Well crap! Guess I'll have to start selling at 10k each and make sure I tell my friends to do the same! :P

The reason they are impossible to get is that they are good for SMNs. SE hates SMNs and try to give them the worst deals possible to show that their lives will be living hells.

[Kimble]

Right, cause mythic is only good for SMN.

[Alhanelem]

Also, I just sunk two mules full of Alexandrite. If you activate them towards the end of the paying cycle, they pro-rate the mules so you only spend a small amount of money on them (cents)

Wait, what? Are they pro-rating secondary characters now? Are you serious? dang... that's awesome if true, because they never did before the account transfer.

Well, nirvana is regarded by many to be the best if not one of the best. For the most part, the best mythics are the ones for non-melee jobs.
