News flash:Garuda myth farming is still superior.

10 myth every 7 or less mins plus alt class weapons, plus zero gear damage to repair. Why am I supposed to care about 3k gil in AK again?

100 philo + 40 myths + 2-3k gil = 20-25 minutes AK run

40 myth + alt weapon = 28 minutes Garuda (if I follow your 7 minutes logic per run)


I'd be inclined to run AK non-stop if there's no wait anymore. You can convert 125 philo for gil by selling for crafting mats too.

Well a good/fast AK run takes about 30min, you get 40 TM and 100 TP.
(you only need 4 people)

At Garuda, you need 8 people, where the chance someone can mess it up is higher, escpecially with random people.

If you only need TM and you play with your FC/Linkshell people, yea your math is right and Garuda is more entertaining than AK.

Full Darklight gear for all your other Jobs, au naturale!

And I'm pretty sure Squeenix's intention was to expand the amount of ways you can get Tomestones in a reasonable timeframe, not to give you a new place to munchkin/faceroll of the month your way through. Your problem if you want to play for maximum efficiency.

Was doing Garuda in about 3 minutes from the time of engagement last night with my FC, has room for improvement and my gear is pretty terrible, and that was with us killing the regen sister second because it spawned on the far side. Don't know if it got any regen tics off, but I am assuming it got at least 1-2. If everything goes right and the group has better gear + optimal setup it can easily be done in less than 3. On the other hand, we can do AK speed runs in abut 15-20 minutes so it is superior in terms of PHILOSOPHY farming only under the premise that there is no wait time to get into the instance. Probably going to just cap out myths on garuda this week and go back to grinding prae which I assume hasn't changed much since no one is complaining about it.

If I have a choice between doing 8 Amdapors or 30 Garudas in roughly the same amount of time, I'm probably going to do the 8 Amdapors. At least then it's not quite as repetitive as doing literally the same single encounter 30 times.

But in reality, I'm probably going to do some Amdapors mixed with a few WPs and a primal or two. I'll welcome the change of pace.

Yeah, because AK trash is so fascinating. I'd rather take down a "big boss" without having to deal with the nonsense in between.

I'd prefer AK. The gear is nice if you plan to level Alts.

I think WP beats everything now.

The gear in AK is bad and you should feel bad the whole time you're wearing it.

Garuda farm was only more efficient Myth farming due to "Waiting for Instance Server" wait times. If that wait time is now instant for full groups; AK and WP is far more efficient than Garuda.

You seem surprised?

How is this a news flash?

WP is faster than AK and only 10 less myth. Just run straight through pick up the hall trash run straight through and pick up that trash and run that up to the plat and spawn the beetles, overpower spam it, and aoe everythign down and run up to the room, skip the chest zerg past that straight into first boss. Then run straight up the plat grab the 2 skeletons and straight down into the hallway nook kill the skeletons have the tank run down grab the trash while someone hits the switch back to the nook kill the trash straight into 2nd boss. Zerg straight to last boss, kill it, run dungeon again.

Not anymore.. after the 1st boss you have to kill tonberry mobs to get oil to open the gates. But the good news is tall the bosses are easier now. so it takes about 25mins to do now.

Garuda takes about 4 minutes, it was the fastest even with 7 myth. Now with 10 myth, its even faster. Just about 2 hours of Garuda slaughter would then give you 300 myth.

Says the guy dressed like a trashcan.

So, get to myth cap in under 2 hours now...maybe do coil for maybe for another 2 hours and then what? Play other games until next Monday? LOL!

This game is really worth a sub, I wish they would increase the price....perhaps 40 bucks per month?

...because we're all in a hurry to hit that 300 tome cap....

I find Garuda farming even more boring than AK >.>;;; (plus I kinda like philo tomes)

The only problem with the logic of Garuda runs.. is actually DOWNING Garuda. Sure, if you are in an FC that's farming her regularly.. it's great. if not.. it sucks beyond all hope of human comprehension. I would rather shove broken bottles up my rectum then do 2 hours of fail groups in Garuda HM...

People wonder why guilds can sell Titan HM kills for 300k... I'll tell you why.. Doodie Finder.

Why are people in such a rush to get to the 300 Myth cap...? You have all week to do it people, get a grip. Do whatever you feel like doing instead of spamming shit.

THEY MUST HAVE NAO!

I don't even see the fun in rushing it out on day one. The servers, atleast until 2.05, have been congested as hell and it takes a formed party nearly 20 minutes to reserve an instance for AK. I honestly can't wait to try WP now that people will actually be doing it. Maybe we'll finally see people doing more junk than just mindlessly repeating AK over and over again. Speaking of, has Aurum Vale received any noteworthy buffs?

That post was terrible and you should feel terrible. unless you are doing coil exclusivly AK gear is perfectly fine. quit trying to be a wannabe elitist, you're even terrible at that. next thing you know you'll be saying "all DL gear is bad, AF2/Af+1 onry"

This is the only change Aurum Vale has received:
The quest required for promotion to second lieutenant within a Grand Company has been changed.
Before Changes After Changes
Quest Name Twisted Beliefs → Gilding the Bilious
Requirement Clear Amdapor Keep → Clear the Aurum Vale
Quest Level Level 50 → Level 47

* Players who have accepted the quest Twisted Beliefs but have yet to clear Amdapor Keep are required to abandon the quest and accept the quest Gilding the Bilious.


There's no phil/myth boost for Aurum Vale or other pre-50 dungeons. I would definitely do Darkhold and Aurum Vale with a 50 character if they gave myth and more phil tomes because you could spirit bond gear super easy (as in gear not needed) while grinding tomes.

I prefer Robo Cain

And Titan farming is better than both of them.

Now if only they buffed Titan's philo tomes as well...
