Goodbye Myth

[Nyalia]

Things you can do with Myth before they go away, in the order that I will be doing them:

• Grab the three myth minions if you haven't already ([0-3]*30).
• Finish any Atma Books you have left to do, if any ([0-9]*1,500).
• Buy 3X vials of Superior Enchanted Ink, where X = the number of relics you plan to get through the Atma grind (only one for me, I think) ([0-10]*1,500).
• Buy X bottles of Quenching Oil, where X = number of retainers plus one, storing one on each retainer, up to the number of relics you don't have yet (including the one for Ninja) ([0-10]*225).
• Buy 3X bottles of Thavnarian Mist, where X = the number of relics you don't have yet (including the one for Ninja) ([0-10]*900).
• Buy one piece of each Myth gear that you like the look of, or just one piece of everything you don't have yet since the Equipment Guide is coming at some point (varies).
• Convert all remaining Myth into either GC Seals by buying Myth accessories and turning them in (1k GC Seals per 375 Myth).

At least, that's what I'll be doing with mine! Anything I missed that's worth doing?

Then why can't they just reset everyone's soldiery tomes the day of the patch so we start from 0? It still seems like a lot of unnecessary work for a couple of pieces of gear anyone can get on week 1 (and seeing as how this game is about working together, I'd never consider a party members with better gear than me anything but a welcomed help but hey that's me). Oooh he bought the chest and legs because he stacked soldiery and I didn't, big deal. I guess I must have spent it on something that I needed more so... I really don't see the problem.

Then you'll have people complain that they lost their soldiery ...

Not a big deal to you... but to some people this is huge. Empathy is the key here ...

[Moqi]

yeah I used all my empathy on things that actually matter, not a videogame, sorry :/

[Andres_Lonegrief]

Its definitly gonna happen... sorry.

You can look at it as a way to make a lot of profit too

Actually .. it isn't. I check the market board every time i get something and rarely i find something whose value is higher than 700gill (and these mats drop in very low quantities).

Anyway, fine. I can't ignore crafting: if i want to gear my secondary class up i can't count on dungeons, if i want a specific glamour i need to repeat the same new dungeons for ages (it took less to get the foestriker, the acolyte and the battlemage sets) and new players or people levelling up alts can't catch up quickly enough because the chances of dropping gear and improving your item level are less than when i started the endgame phase.

So can you convert mythology into soldiery?

What I read here is "I don't want to stack up on tomes so take away the tomes from those that do want to." How does that even make any sense at all? You get out of it what you put into it. You put in effort to cap tomes, you get more soldiery after the conversion and therefore more gear. As far as how quickly people gear up, I know I personally already have one class at i109 and am working on my alt classes now. There are times I want to do something different. The faster I can get them geared up, the faster they are usable and relevant in the new content.

Soldiery will be the new myth, and something else capped will be the new soldiery. The more things change the more it is the same. I am not sure why they can't reprice the token exchanges. I suppose new currency is fun to play with, but it is not like there is even paper money to look at all the neat holograms.

What the hell is a hologram?

Check out all the fancy new currency in real life:

It would nice to able to actually hold gil coin and look at it and flip it, and the same for myths and soldiery. And so you can do a emote "/flipcoin" for when you need a quick and easy RNG.
