Any mention of Philo conversion rates?

Yeah and if you capped myth beforehand you have enough for a 3rd piece and almost a 4th piece ^_^

Not exactly right. Most likely there is still going to be a 2000 mythology tombstone cap. A very good reason the not exchange them automatically would be so people wouldn't exceed the cap. The more I think about it the more I'm thinking it will be a 1:1 exchange rate.

If SE were really smart about this they would figure a way to give philosophy (in name) to people when they play DoM jobs, and physical to those that play DoW jobs (again, in name only).

450 weekly cap on each, would keep people playing and encourage those strictly magic users to branch out and visa versa with the strictly DoW people.

If its suppose to be this easy, what am I suppose to do with the DarkLight stuff I acquired for my BLM when it hits 50 lol, I figure the myth drop right will be higher but not as high as philo tomes

I'm just excited to be able to start upgrading more of my jobs to Myth gear.

Probably for vanity, collection purposes. It's like when people use the AK or whatever else (ilvl 55) stuff before they can get Darklight. It's meant to be a small boost before you have enough farm for the better stuff.

i can't speak for anyone else, but i don't care

i've been myth capping since week 2 of this game and i really want a 1:1 conversion so i can just finish buying a couple more pieces for the glamour system... if not i guess i can just farm something like turn 4 or haukke manor, it's not a big deal
