Alexandrite V2

[Cesil]

I've been working on a Mythic for over a year now. I'm at about 15k Alex, Chariot wins, Odin win and only 1/3 beastmen wins. I still need to find a static to work on Inchor... but I personally think that the effort is worth the reward. When I'm the only SMN on Lakshmi holding a Nirvana, it'll be nothin but envy. I'd trade 8 Empy weapons for the chance to own Nirvana.

I want to make a Nirvana too eventually..but I am waiting to see what SE does with it. Also I have seen a few Nirvana's on Lakshmi. The stats on the 95 are amazing Filloux (sp?) has one.

You people can't just "wait until SE changes it" you need to voice your opinion and get them to tell us something. If we all start threads about this or post here then they will be forced to do something.

The Alexandrite was always the hardest part of the time management test that is Duties, Tasks, and Deeds. I get that you don't have as much of the population doing salvage anymore but then again it is easy enough to just keep spamming Salvage for more alex. Also if we end up being able to augment Salvage gear and need 15/25/35s to break down into tatters you might see a lot of people doing salvage again and with that lower alex prices.

If you have friends/your LS see if they would be willing to do some farm runs and offer to buy the alex off them at a reasonable price.

I do agree that a lot of the mythics aren't as powerful as other options (then again a lot of the mythics weren't too impressive compared to relics at 75), but making them easier to obtain isn't a good fix for that. I was annoyed that they made the T4 ZNM drops 100% as that makes finishing up mythics a lot easier (Tyger can go die with its old trigger drop rate).

With the changes to dynamis, relics are going to become a lot easier to obtain now so if you need a quick/easier trophy piece go for emps or relics. It is nice that (at least for now) something in this game isn't a cakewalk and actually takes some time/effort to obtain, even if the reward isn't exactly the best option in the game.

lol seriously? Most Mythics are terrible compared to their Empy/relic counterparts, why does Dynamis get to rain currency (less so after recent update, but still) while alex is completely restricted? If you read the OP, you get maybe 70ish alex a run on average, only farming the same zone for the most part. GL getting two other real people to farm the same zone with you over and over and over until you're done, even after they have capped gear. It still takes 10 months+ only farming alex at 70+ a day. The weapon isn't worth the time, they need to adjust it.

im trying to build a mythic
underline the word try, there isnt any at all on the market atm. everytime i check a bazaar all i see is dyna currency
while i this point i dont even mind paying the outrageous prices. there just isn't any out there. people ain't exactly doing alot of salvage (the few people that are doing salvage are of the belief that salvage gear will be upgradable

Yes seriously. I probably farmed close to half of my alex with a group of people and though most of them donated the alex to me for free, I always split all the alex among all members and offered to buy each and every piece of alex off them. I never had a problem getting people to fill any extra slots or just running with a few people and doing bhaf floor1+2 ramps to get some 35s/make some gil off helping me. There were also plenty of runs I walked out with a hell of a lot less than 70 alex too.

I agree (and stated) that many of the mythics were well below relics/emps but they have been that way since mythics were first released.

Like I said before if you deem the weapon to not be worth your time, do a relic or emp.

To be fair, Thunder, when you finished your DP alexandrite was A LOT more plentiful than it is now. There is definitely a problem for people who are sitting 50% alex handed in or so and can't find the supply to buy :/

Not to mention back then I'm assuming he got when alex was selling for 3-5k. Versus the 13-20k it sells for now.

I believe i was paying 6-8k each but that saved me a ton of money vs what people are paying now. On Odin I believe I have seen the alex usually sell for like 10-15k

Yeah that's true. I wonder if it would help out people more if they would let you retrieve any alex you had traded to the rat so that way people who have given up on mythic can sell it all. Even if they add upgrades to salvage armor, are enough people going to it to really help out the market? I though it would at first but thinking about it longer it might not bring that much more to the market.

Draylo suggested them adding alex as drops in NI from floors 101-200 (if that gets implemented) and after thinking about it for a while that really is a good idea, especially if they make the mobs work on a stagger system like dynamis. That or convert salvage mobs to be able to be staggered and drop more alex/better chance on pouches.

If they make a nyzul boost that drops alex then I really hope they make it so that you can buy remnants permits with nyzul assault points.
