ATTN: Developers - A Polite Request regarding Mythic Weapons

[Rorald]

I'm all for working towards a goal but lets be honest even if they completly took out the elexandrite part of the quest it would still be more work then anything else in the game, and as for the game being hard i dont really see what was ever really that hard in the first place unless you consider having to kill things for drops 100 times before you see one item hard and that seems to be the route they are choosing to go down with voidwatch.

I understand the reasoning behind the Alexandrite, and I won't disagree with the Dev. team there. Where I would like to make a suggestion to them is in the adjustment of the "tag" system and ZNM trophies.

Tags need to adopt the Abyssea Stone format in my opinion, so that they may accumulate over time allowing for more consistent entry to Assaults, Nyzul, and consequently, Salvage. I hope they are genuinely looking at adopting that system for Tags, as it is definitely something many players struggle with in building a Mythic if they require to do ALL of those events in at the same time.

Einherjar needs to be made at-par with the new neo-dynamis format: i.e. We need to be able to enter it daily, bi-daily, just more frequently.

Finally, ZNM trophies: They need to be 100% drops from the ZNMs, and please, for the love of all that is good and holy DO NOT adopt a "!!" system for ZNMs. It is overused enough as it is already.

Just my 2 cents.

If we can take the way they re-worked Sky to be an example, I don't foresee future adjustments of Salvage/Einherjar/Assaults/etc. having any long-term impact on the price of Alexandrite.

Each HQ Abjuration has one good stat that's worth Augmenting for, but it's not *so* worth augmenting for that there are more than 6 people in Sky right now. People shredded the Abjurations they had sitting around and now no one cares enough to go farm Sky so they can get a 5% Fast Cast Blood Cuisses instead of a 4% Fast Cast one.

Easy way to fix the alexandrite problem is just make the pouch drop 100% on the chariot. Never understood why it didnt.

Not sure this applies to everyone that does sky, especially the JP population (At least on my server of Carbuncle). They take so much pride and time into trying to get the maximum augment. Also for lazy people [they] spam random easy gods and sell tatters are a mid-premium that I've seen. And it's made a number of old pieces of gear very relevant again (without being over powered), which is nice.

And I agree Alex should be 100% from Chariots, and it should even drop a second or 3rd pouch at a high rate. From there, ever single mob should drop 1-3 Alex always.... no excuses why this isn't so.

I'm working on Nirvana, if I didn't already say. You will not find any math to tell me it's not amazing, either

Then I won't show you the non-weapon gear to completely negate the perp cost component. That leaves you with that MAB component versus Myrkr (aka Convert +1 every 2 minutes).

It's amazing, but nowhere near the best yet.

The worst part about this post is that I am willing to believe that you actually believe all of that.

[Dart]

probably does, but seriously though. 1500-2k ukkos? My averages are way higher than that outside.<_<

the /sam not being useful for drk thing had me scratching my head too. Oh well

Barrage does not do 12,000 damage, Namas does not to 15,000 damage. Or did you mean 1200 and 1500 damage?

Damage is not RNGs problem anyway it's slow TP, pulling hate from outside melee range and lack of haste that causes RNG to be a terrible job.

I have never seen Wildfire break 5000 on RNG.

I don't own one so I can only tell you what I have seen, and I've never seen it break 2500 damage outside abyssea.

You read "cRatio", didn't know what it meant and assumed I was talking about critical hits.

cRatio is part of the level correction function. Y/G/K, Spinning Slash, Ground Strike and a few other WS partially ignore level difference when calculating damage.

[Bumbeen]

did they update y/g/k or something? All I remember is gekko gets a 100% attack bonus, kasha gets a 50% attack bonus and yukikaze gets something I forget.
