Why is Myth gear as good as Allagan gear, or even better?

[Marzapan]

Coils up to turn 4 < Titan Ex so I don't know what the heck you guys are smokin but it's some good shit, can I haz some ? Since the release of the game pretty much every class need to do a mix of gear between allagan and myth, so, point of the thread ?

Point of the thread is that I think it's kind of lame that the most difficult dungeon in the game doesn't drop the best gear.

Mythology can really come from anywhere, I guess, but to get the strongest stuff you should have to do something other than 4 man speed runs. It's kind of a similar situation to 1.0's out of control melds where you could get crazy items without setting foot outside of the city. I'm not really sure the game would have died without the "grind WP and AK for 3 hours a week" factor that it had pre-2.1.

Having such easily accessible myth gear devalues darklight and crystal tower gear, too, which kind of sucks.

To cap Myth each week, you have to:

CT: 50
HLDR x 5 350-450
WP run x 2 (Depending on what you got in the DR)

That's way more time than you spent in BC for the week and this person doesn't even have enough Myth to buy one single piece (unless they buy accessories first). If RNG is in your favor, you could do BC once and end up with 2 months or more worth of Myth equivalent or better gear. Also, DL and CT gear are not devalued because using it helps the Myth grind. The more DL pieces you have, the better you do at your job. It takes what? 10 weeks or more grinding for myth every week to get full myth armor? You don't think that time is better spent in Darklight/CT gear?

It does drop the best gear, you can't have the perfect stat balance with only Myth or Allagan. It's a "play the whole content and feel rewarded as you should be" kind of thing
