What is the most efficient way to reach the weekly 450 Tomestones of Mythology post 2.1? High-level DR daily and then hardmode Copperbell-Haukke?
do you roulette high level, thats about 30% of the cap. THen just farm AK/WP speed runs as before...AK now is super piss easy and WP remains easy....Until someone figures out speed runs of the others, its still slower than ak/wp. If you do coil regularly, you get 50 each turn too....
I know this doesn't answer your question, but, if you do roulette high level dungeons, you will get 70-90 ToM. Since you can do the roulette once per day, and that is 490-630 ToM per week, which of course is more than the cap no matter which dungeon you do. That of course is spaced across the entire week and you could get in a group that doesn't clear a dungeon, or takes a full 90 min. in a dungeon like WP.
If you can do WP in 15 min. with the changes in 2.1, then that will take you 225 min. (3 hr. 45 min.). With a really well geared group (that I happened into in DF right after the servers were up), not knowing the dungeon, but never wiping in Haukke HM, we cleared it in about 20-30 min. (I don't remember specifically since the timer disappears after you beat the boss). Doing Haukke HM in 20-30 min. runs, it will take you 180-270 min. If it turns out you can also do Haukke in 15min, obviously it will be faster. I don't have numbers on time to complete a wipe-free Copperbell HM yet. Though, It seemed like Copperbell HM was much more mechanics-requiring than Haukke HM, which makes me think that Haukke will end up being faster.
With how I play, I will probably do the roulette several times a week, play with friends several times, and do things other than grind dungeons in the rest of my time (unless it's to level).
I am not sure if this is correct (but most likely it is)... However, yesterday, I was able to run two high level duty roulette which gives 40 myth, twice.
At first, when I finished it and check duty finder again, it didn't show 40 myth rewards (only 750 gil). But half an hour later it shows up again. So I got 40 myth duty roulette twice, all within the span of a lunch break.
So, is there a reset timer somewhere in the middle of the day or just bug from patch launch?
Edit: In case you are wondering, I got 160 myths on Tuesday after done 2 dungeon runs (AK "30 myths" and Pharos Sirius "50 myths") at around 14:00-16:00 GMT.
Reset is usually Noon PST, did you cross that barrier yesterday?

It's at 11AM EST so like 8AM PST.
How much myth do you receive from CT? I have not beaten Behemoth yet.
For me,
Coil T1-4 = 150
CT = 50
1 DR/day
This should pretty much bring me to ToM cap.
With Coil giving 150 and now the duty roulette spacing out the myths over the week, it no longer feels like a grind, but with the option still being there.
Good job SE.
Haukke HM is very speedrunnable and gives 50 myth. Sirius and Copperbell are really not worth it in the same way, though fun dungeons in their own rights. Already done Haukke in 13 minutes, and that wasn't with 100% optimal pulls and timings in general, yet. With the cliché PLD/WHM/BRD/BLM comp you can just burn through it like it was 2.0 WP all again. The first section before the first boss kind of limits the pulls a bit due to the doors and the keys, with only a few NPCs in each room, but it gets better with the corridor sections after the first boss allowing for massive pulls.
Apart from that, the Duty Roulette and Coil are your friends. (Can't really comment on CT yet because I haven't done it yet, missing out on the FATEs, lol).
Can anyone provide a break down of how many myth tomes are given based on the new HM dungeons, BC T1-5, DR High-level etc. Thanks.
You can only do the Duty Roulette once a day?
Same generally; T1-4 Coil (150), ~2 CT runs (100), High Level Roulette 3x (>70 per) gets you to 450 (460 but 10 don't carry over obviously). Wulfgang's Tip of the Day: Click the "In Progress" option when doing high level roulette. I got teleported to a WP run as WHM that was on Tonberry King and got 70 Myth for about 4 minutes of work. In progress seems to take priority in the DF methodology so you almost always end up somewhere further than the start when you port in. You do risk ending up in a terrible party where someone left because of said terribleness though.
Nope, just need to click "High Level Dungeon Roulette" and also the "Join in Progress" option. You get the total Myth from the dungeon plus the 40 Myth bonus regardless of whether you join at the last boss or end up with a fresh party at the beginning.
Note that I'm talking about Mythology tomes only. You are correct on Philosophy because they are earned at a staggered rate after each boss is defeated. For example, if you join WP at the King, you would not get the philo from the Goobbue and Flan bosses.
Interesting, as I did not know this. I wonder if they will apply a patch in the future to prevent people from obtaining these tomes mid game like that. I know they added the join in progress option prior to registering for the duty, but it seems like anyone could possibly leech based on this setup? Furthermore, I thought that you earned myth tomes throughout the course of most of those dungeons, per boss, and not just all at the end? Not sure if your example only applies to WP or other HM dungeons AK, CB HM, or HM HM
