Soldiery/Myth Drop Rates

[Najara]

Eh, I dunno about that. Sure soldiery is probably a little harder to cap now than myth was between 2.1 and 2.2, but I think the biggest problem is myth rewards didn't increase as much as they should have. They're exactly the same as they were in the 2.1 dungeons and extremely low on CM and praetorium. I didn't think to look for it, but I wonder if Aurm Vale (which used to drop a tiny amount of philosophy) now drops minuscule amounts of myth (thinking 1-3).

If they were any higher there would be no reason to farm the darklight, or any other level 50 dungeon. SE is clearly thinking about the future.

Yea I was a little confused about it but after a night of playing and contemplating I think it's best they lowered the myth tomes. I mean most of us can farm coil for i90, if it remained 50 per we'd be capped in an couple hours and have tons of i90 from coil.. So I just think from a balance POV lowering myth was necessary, and it also slows the game down a bit (or stretches content out, rather).

Who would farm Darklight when you can run CT over and over, needing all the i80 gear you can while also receiving 100 Myth per pop? With CT being farmable and having a low entry ilvl, DL is completely useless now.

Well there are no accessories in CT.. And very little CT gear has enough accuracy on it for coil which means, starting out, you may need a DL piece or 2 combined with CT gear to run coil.. I'm in this situation on my SMN, I got a few pieces of DL and CT, but need accessories now. I can run coil on mains for alt gear, but in general someone just starting out is not going to be able to completely skip DL..
