Alexandrite

[Malamasala]

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 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.

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.

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.

Right, cause mythic is only good for SMN.

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.

Right, cause mythic is only good for SMN.

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.

Maybe instead of an immature comment, you could state your problem with the statement, and/or which mythic you think is in fact actually the best. I can certainly tell you which ones are the most popular, whether or not you think they're the best, those are the ones people get.

Hey, i'm not the one throwing out insults and ignoring any actual content in the post.

Step 1. Someone A posts a topic.
Step 2. Someone B posts their opinion on the topic, which some people happen to disagree with.
Step 3. Someone A starts attacking someone B, ignoring anything meaningful they might have said and throwing out insults, telilng them to "Stop posting" because their opinion is different, and/or generally being immature.
Step 4. .... profit? Probably not.

I really think that you, Alhanelem, are being negative only for the sake of being negative. Please explain to me and everyone else in favour of the OP's suggestion, exactly why you think it's a bad one.

I am not being negative for the sake of being negative. It's not fun to be negative, I get no joy out of it. However, I never actually said (and I'm repeating this yet again) "This is a bad idea" or anything even close to that. There's a difference between something not being a necessity or vitially important and it being 'bad." It's not bad. I just don't see why it NEEDs to happen.

Ryunohige is probably the biggest upgrade from other weapon to mythic, it far beats both relic and empyrean, and any other polearm. Drakesbane is already one of the better WS's inside and outside aby (numbers from 3~7k inside, 1.5~4k out) and thats with contus.

Also, the only good mage weapons are whm and smn. WHM being a much smaller upgrade than it used to me

Someone still thinks Yagrush is worth doing? Is it 2009?
