Another Alexandrite post incoming!

Currently, on my server at least, buying Alexandrite is really hard. There is almost never a supply and there are an obscene amount of people upgrading mythics (at least 10+ other people that I know of) and trying to buy whenever they can. The price for Alex has risen to ridiculous amounts, people are now selling for 17~20k each and are actually being bought by the JP community. This is a problem because the effort required to create these weapons is not even close to the reward you are given. A lot of these weapons (with a few being an exception) are severely underpowered compared to their Empyrean or Relic for the weapon type. Let's do a breakdown of what it costs currently with these new prices and current prices:

Current price (10,000 per Alexandrite)
= 300,000,000 gil to complete.
New prices (17,000 per Alexandrite)
= 510,000,000 gil to complete.

Those prices can obviously be brought down by spamming the lovely and FUN event called... Salvage! For just 1 hour and 30m of your time you can repeat the same monotonous event OVER AND OVER for 70~150 alex a run! That way it can take you over 10 months just to complete this weapon.

10 months to complete a weapon that doesn't perform on the level of a weapon that takes two weeks or less to make.

Possible solutions:

1. Make Mythic weapons require less Alexandrite
2. Increase the supply of Alexandrite through other means than Salvage (Nyzul Isle if they are planning to adjust it for new level increase)
3. Make Mythic weapons actually worth the price tag/time investment.

Also I see the other thread was locked, I don't understand why you can't have Alexandrite turned into pieces of 100 like currency so you can save inventory space. Or you could change the stack from 99 to 999 or something.

Thanks.
