Suggestion on mythology tomestones & relic weapons

[Katniss_]

Hi there, the suggestion are listed as follow,

1. I don't think 450 mythology tomestones per week is enough for player because the cheapest gear will cost 375. So I recommend 600 per week.

2. The cost of relic weapon upgrade is far too high.
With 825 mythology tomestones, a gear of clothes or trousers will be exchanged.I think the cost is worthy. But to get a relic weapon, player will slay many monsters, confront numbers of bosses , get through some dungeons and survive in three trials. when all above are done, 900 philosophy tomestones are need to get the lvl.80 relic weapon.A relic weapon zenith is only 10 item lvl. higher than that but needs 900 mythology tomestones. In my view, the cost does not match the reward. So I think 300 mythology tomestones would fits the reward better.

3. Most lvl.90 armors cost 825 or 495 mythology tomestones, which means player can get one every 2 weeks. And player can only get one gear per week in crystal tower. So I think in the crystal tower, player can get 2 gears or more per week. I strongly recommend 1 gear per boss per week.

450 is enough. It used to be 300 btw, be thankful atleast that they increased it reasonably.

Uh...
The mythology cap is being lifted in a few weeks in favor of the new tomestones for higher ilevel equipment.

With 450 per week you can get your relic zenith on the 2nd week you hit 50, 1 piece of myth that cost 825 myth in another 2 weeks, or 2 pieces of my accessories. Also in those 3 weeks you can get 3 pieces of CT gear. With the current myth cap and gearing, you are ready for coil within the 2nd or 3rd week you get to 50. You will have 1 or 2 CT gear, full DL in others, a relic zenith, and if you are lucky with primal ex, probably some primal ex accessories as well. So no, myth cap doesn't need to be increase at the moment, not until 2.2. My alt monk is 4 weeks old give or take, with a mix of CT, myth, allagan, DL and primal gears. gearing is simply so much faster now that you don't really need another cap increase or increase in the number of gears you can get from CT each week.

Used to be "oh shit, I spent this myth shit for nothing! when I found this Allagan is better than Myth"

btw, rumor (or true) Myth tomes cap will be lifted in few weeks indeed so whatever you do, do it without worry because sooner or later, you will get all you want in the end

@ OP: bad idea. all around, bad idea.

The REAL answer to your problem is more content. which will come.

I don't understand why the pushback. Myth cap is being lifted anyway, so telling the OP he/she is wrong for AGREEING with SE is interesting. Also, when the myth cap is lifted AND Coil ends up on the DF with no lockout, it makes no sense for CT to have a gear lockout, basically having a gate on ilvl80 gear when there won't be one on ilvl 90. But y'all seem to think that's fine.

As for the relic +1 myth requirement...I would have thought 450 to be much more fair, since it would take you 2 weeks (before) to get it, but you'd still be able to buy a piece the next week. Once the myth cap is lifted though, I can't see a really good reason to bring it down, especially since usually the +1 is one of the better upgrades anyway, and if you want it in a week, you'll have it.

Another thing to keep in mind, before patch 2.1 there were only 2 i90 weapons and only one i80 weapon. The i80 was your relic and titan's drops were i70, and the only way to get a weapon better than that would be 3 weeks of saving up ToM (with the 300/week cap) or beating turn 5. This is significant because of how much of an effect those 10 item levels worth of weapon damage will have vs. how much of an effect the extra hp, main stat, and defense the 825 tome pieces offer.

Now titan's weapons are on par with the relic weapons, Turn 5 weapons are i95, and you get an i90 weapon for beating the extreme primals. Not saying these are easy, but there are options and the allagan weapons are now better.

Most of this should change in 2.2 with:
1. Higher item level cap
2. New coil (with presumably new item level cap items)
3. New tomes (and therefore new tome items)
4. Removal of the myth cap
*this is an assumption based on a comment about removing the cap when new tomes were introduced

In the end. They won't be changing this before 2.2, and most of the issue will go away at 2.2, so don't worry about it.

Weapons gives way more than any other armor for most jobs.... How can it not be worth it, when people buy their Relic+1 firstly and wait with the rest of the gear ? (some exceptions) It's not only because of looks or something, 'cause that 10 extra ilvl on your weapon will give you more than going from even DL (ilvl70) to myth (ilvl90). For it to cost 300 myth tomes would be a steal.

600 myth tomes a week is very high. People would max out really quick, and for people that don't care about getting the best gear in the game, they would just get full myth armor set and don't bother with Coil. 450 is enough.

But like others have said, there is no point in arguing about it now, since later this month that cap won't exist.
