errr... yeah. By the time you posted this, I already know about the CT farm days ago, and already done lots of it. Still doesn't change the fact that soldiery gain are slower compared to myth days, and I'm talking about the non-hunt days.

And funny you mention about whining, didn't remember part of me saying about it. :p

And yeah, you got RNG sided on you obviously. Big deal! It's still screw me over and over, but I'm still working on it. Gratz on completing it, though you might want to stop rubbing it to someone's face cause you never now when RNG gonna suck you so bad. Also, not everyone got same time & resource luxury as you do. :p

Best farm is grabbing a new person and run them through dungeons for bonus sol that's what i do.

And 6400 soldiery in 2 days? don't think a normal person can do that, normal as in having their RL stuff over this. If I don't sleep and ignore RL, then yes, I probably could do that. :p

Give something that's viable for normal human being could do in a day. There's already ppl that can do nexus in 2 days, though I bet they ignore RL stuff. :p

As in case of animus book alone, you should make comparison on bray HM only, both myths and soldiiery version. And yes, I never forgot doing my daily roulettes.

And I think you need re-define "very wrong" of yours. My guesses are that you're still too young to understand that.

No, there is no reason to only compare the Soldiery gain of certain things because of a comparison to Bray HM. Bray HM is the mentioned task for Myth because, at the time Animus was first released, it was the absolute and undisputed fastest way to obtain Myth. Therefore, the equivalent comparatory requirement is to find the same task for Soldiery and compare it to that. The fact of the matter is that if you want Soldiery, mindlessly grinding dungeons is probably the slowest way to do it. The fastest way is to fish for new person bonuses on Trials and Coil. While this has an element of variation, it is still very likely to be faster than Bray's previous Myth gain on an okay day and absolutely blows it away on a good one. The moderately fast way is to do roulettes every day and reap the occasional new person bonus you might get from that. Doing CT is also possible, but really only worth it if word spreads on its possible efficiency enough to reduce queue times significantly.

So, you're on a Legacy server. It has a high population, and is allegedly full of people who started at Level 50. Please do enlighten me as to how the Legacy moniker magically makes everyone skilled enough to have cleared all of first and second Coil, all EX Primals, etc.

The "2 days" argument, while absolutely true, was not a treatise regarding what is possible if you ignore real life responsibilities. People finished this relic step in 2 days. As far as I'm away, nobody finished Animus in 2 days. In both steps, the Tomes are the primary time-consuming bottleneck. In this case, the dungeons could be, but RNGesus would really have to be against you for it to take longer to get your dungeon drops than to get the full Soldiery amount. Evidence is pointing to the conclusion that it is easier and faster to get the Soldiery amount in this step than it was to get the necessary Myth for the first Animus weapons.

I just would like to point out Myth also use to be about the same rate. When it first came out it was just about the same as soldiery is now. So in another patch or two, you can be sure the rate will go up. It's just how they do things in this game it seems. Myth started out at about the same, then when they patched it went from like 50 to 200 with bonus's or something. They did the same to philosophy tomes, it was like 100 then it jumped to 300 for doing main story roulette/CT iirc.

The Soldery farm I didn't find bad. Had exactly 1600 before patch. Doing all the KI grinding I ended up farming just shy of 2000 soldery then the rest ~3k soldery was spammed in a few hrs with first time bonus

I don't know if anyone posted yet, here's how the SCH one looks dyed in Dalamud Red (for those who wanna match it with High Allagan glamour :P ):
