Zenith was well just a tome cap.
Atma was a little bit of a pain, however nothing intensive, its not meant to be rushed in honesty, took me bout a week or two.
Animus took FOREVER, 1,500 myth for 1 BOOK then doing said book. thats 30 brayflox speed runs at the time.
Novus wasn't so bad, Hunts made it alot easier to manage, getting approx 15-20 Alexandrite a day.
Nexus was again, not too bad, just play how you normally would and boom it levels up.

Mind me asking how many hours it takes per day to get 15 to 20 alexandrite a day from hunts and your strategy?

It was a lot easier when B ranks gave 5 seals apiece. It's not much, but it adds up over time. I think the most I ever got in a day was 9, but then again I never hunted more than like 8 hours at a stretch, either.

What would you recommend these days? Daily roulette and just buy maps with soldiery?

Hunts are still a great resource for Alexandrite, grab a hunt LS and do as many A-S ranks that are available (Don't forget your weekly B rank)

A Ranks give 20 seals and 20 sol tomes.

10 A ranks gives you 1 Alex
20 A ranks gives you 2 alex + 1 Sol Map

Not a easy feat in the slightest but doing them inbetween other stuff can help speed things along. I'm only about a quarter of the way done the Alex grind but being able to get my daily + a few extra is nice.

it took me quite a few, honestly i wanted it out of the way so i put a bit of a grind into it. but when i did it mythology existed (r.i.p) but heres what i did.

Expert Roulette = 1 map.
Weekly Hunt = 50 seals.
A ranks = 20 Seals + 80 tomes
S Ranks = 50 seals. + 200 tomes
Mysterious Map exchange = 800 tomes.

1 Alexandrite = 200 seals.

So, for every 10 A ranks i'd kill, which is just short of 1 hunt cycle, id get 1 piece of alexandrite, and a map, of which then is a basic rinse repeat process, S ranks speed this up with the 50 seal bonus and the 200 tomes jump, Weekly does this also for your 50 seals. On the off day i didn't decide to fully grind in this process, id still grab 10 alexandrite. But, now mythology has gone, its a bit more tedious to get Soldiery for said alexandrite exchanges.

If you wanted to go even further, you can also obtain alexandrite from fates, simply do fates when not in said expert roulette, or waiting for another hunt cycle to activate

but hope this helps. :)

3. I lost all interest when materia got introduced for novus so animus was stopped in its tracks. I'm not lending credence to greed.

All done for me. I actually enjoy grinding and I wish there was even more of it!

My guess would be the Metallic Red from the Mogstation.
