Alexandrite

[Leonlionheart]

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.

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

when did I ever say that? Seriously! When did I ever say that?

Are you really going to collect 300 stacks of alexandrite before you even reach the part where you can turn them in?

And why are you taking 3 or 4 attempts to show me something that isn't even an important part of what I've been saying the whole dang time?

Because it is an important part? Not working towards alexandrite whilst doing the other parts of the quest is STUPID. Doing the assaults gives you Assault Points. Assault points you spend on Remnants permits for salvage. You can do an assault and a salvage run every day. You do not have to chose one or the other. There is not enough alexandrite in circulation to sit and wait until you have done the other parts of the quest before you buy it.

This is what I see. You obviously hate me, so why not just say that?

Lol. If you post something stupid, i will call you stupid. If you post something good, I will tell you it's good. Look at Kingfury. I didn't agree with his "Give WARs all WSs" it had many many issues which he kept ignoring, and so I called him out on it. I liked his Gyms of Vana D'iel idea, and I love his artwork, and so support him on those. I am very greatful to Yugl for his help with writing XML documents, yet I have also had disagreements with him in the past. The same can be said for Rearden and Draylo too. Thorny (does he post here? did he quit?) and Pchan too. Shit's case by case. You made a stupid argument and so I'm calling you out for being stupid.

Had you come in and said "I don't think it's really needed, I'm willing to be proven wrong. If it is, here's another suggestion" I would have supported you. But you didn't do that. You came in and said "Just turn them all in" then after that was shot down said "Dont farm them untill you've done the other stuff first" then after that was shot down said "Ok, here's another way you could do it".

All you are doing is back peddling and trying to save face at this point.

I did NOT say "I'm going to collect no alexandrite before doing anything else." But whatever, you want me to say you're right about something I didn't say, then fine. You're right.

You're still hounding me over me saying that one little line, when it doesn't even have any relevance to the actual topic. I try to talk about the suggestion, and you keep coming back to this. You are just picking at me, determined to get me to say "I'm wrong." Even though you twisted my words, I'll go ahead and say "I'm wrong." to satisfy you.

Now maybe you can finally move on to the actual topic instead of picking me apart for one sentence I gave pages ago.

[noodles355]

The actual topic which you stated was not a worthwhile use for the development team's time and wasn't a big concern before being proven wrong, doing a u-turn and deciding that you also have an idea without actually admitting you were wrong and just denying everything?

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.

Because the PUP Mythic, DNC Mythic, and DRG Mythic are so not awesome.

[Rearden]

And again, Yagrush is stupid in 2011 aaaaaand Nirvana ain't that good.

[Byrth]

As someone going for the DNC mythic, I feel qualified to say that it isn't very awesome unless it works differently than people claim and also increases the potency of Steps (which I doubt it does).

The problem, Al, is that mythics are a long-term undertaking and SE is still updating the game. If I'm going to be doing a mythic for the next 6 months, they're probably going to raise the level cap and add gear between the 95 and 99 cap before I finish.

Imagine, for instance, that I was working on Nirvana. They've expressed dissatisfaction with the 95 level Magian stats. Maybe their solution is to add "Avatar: ___ Affinity +6" to the level 95 version of the damage staves, and they give the Perp staves another -1 Perp too. Nirvana, because SE like to switch things up, gets +25% Garland of Bliss damage. Now Nirvana's 35 MAB is crap compared to +35% damage, and it just became the Astral Signa (vs. NQ elementals) to all the Perp staves. At that point, I'd want to pull all my Alex back out of the NPC and go cry in a corner because I'd wasted 6 months on a quest that resets when you trade a new weapon. Selling it is okay, it isn't like I can sell 300 stacks at once anyway. Trying to put it back into another weapon is rough, because it means I need 300+ stacks out at the same time.

And sure, if you combine them that'd be great. Heck, if you implemented Al's idea it'd probably drop the Alexandrite price a LOT for a short time as all the people who quit going after a mythic with Alex on the NPC flood the market.

Maybe things have changed now that 100s rain from the sky on a daily basis in Dynamis

That's not the case. The droprate on 100c is like 1/30-1/20 with a NM having 15 minutes repop.

Because the PUP Mythic, DNC Mythic, and DRG Mythic are so not awesome.

PUP mythic is vastly inferior to verethragna. People would care about mythic for their DRG if the job didn't suck. Since the job sucks, the mythic too. DNC is no different, do I need to dig the job distribution from the vanadiel census ?
