The rest of the requirements for Mythic quests seem reasonable - even though they're time consuming, but not impossible - the only issue is finding alexandrites, and 30k of them.

I am not sure if this idea was mentioned or any crazy ideas similar to this, but is there a way that maybe alexandrites can be made purchase via Imperial standings instead of only dropped from Salvage gears? It can be 500-1k or some fair amount of price with IS for the alexandrites. This would entice players to maybe fight monsters again in ToAU areas to gain IS that they may now be low on after buying all their imperial coins. Serious players who are after a Mythic weapon can form alexandrite farming statics to build up their IS. Unless perhaps there are great plans to change Salvage around to bring people back to it. (Awesome Salvage gear augments, etc.) Otherwise it is almost nearly impossible to find alexandrites for sale in bazaars.
