As for the best Idle staff? An Atk/acc crozier is best for damage, and because of /rdm, self refresh and siphons, we can afford to sacrifice some -perp for main slotting attack when kiting. I'd rather put the hours and hours of grinding for the 9 perp magians into getting a crozier, full caller's +2, finishing wotg, and getting gear like serpentes set, and the brygid diaper.


As for the Cost of mythic, going rate on currency across all servers is 3k to 5k, 3k puts it at 90m, and each 1k over per is an additional 30m at final price.
1: I don't gimp myself on any job, I find the best balance for the playstyle I use, and my plastyle is not your playstyle. My whm has gear that increases cure potency, while not diminishing buffs. My smn has actually outdamaged most DDs outside of aby, where I use it most. Just because I choose not to min/max myself doesn't make me lazy or pathetic...it means I put thought into my gameplay and don't try to just max out everything, and thus get pissed off when I get agro and die because the whm can't heal me fast enough (which alot of players have done to me)

2: I didn't say I wasn't going to make att/acc staves later, or that I hadn't made them already...I just like doing quests, and it really is nice to have something else going while I'm out farming high end and high gil items. Also, you forgot how nice convert is on /rdm meaning you can keep an avatar out even longer

3: what makes you think 120 million gil isn't expensive? and did you take ichors into account? as well as all the quests you have have to put time and effort into, redoing all the Assault missions. The actual cost for gaining a mythic isn't just gil, but several months spent grinding it all out. I can do 1 staff in 3-4 days, meaning I can have all the satves in less time than getting Nirvana and taking it through the trials would take.

Don't think I'm saying my style of playing is the right or only way to play...it's MY way of playing
Sometimes I just like to toss on my RSE, summon an avatar and run around while farming ingredints for crafting (yes I do farm on thief, I just like to mix it up once in a while) I also fish on smn, and having an avatar out whle fishing means I
don't lose fishing time having to fight a mob, especially on ferries.
Currency prices have actually risen on my server, as have alex prices because people just don't DO those endgame events anymore. ALex is actually up to 7k+ and dynamis currency is up to 10k for singles.

I may sound defensive, but it really irks me that people seem to think there's only one way to play and anyone who disagrees is wrong. I think, plan and work for what I feel is best for my style of playing, and if that's wrong, I don't want to be right and play a cookie-cutter character.
