Soldiery/Myth Drop Rates

[Lenarr]

WP is 30 myth, not 50. Just ran it again to be sure. 10 Soldiery is correct. I'm guessing AK is the same, 30/10, but haven't run it to confirm.

Damn.. i really didnt want to grind all this myth out rates are atrocious.. well ..the new diablos instance will keep me happy for a bit.

Ifrit EX - 10 soldiery

Seems like the more info I keep hearing about this patch the less desire have to log back in......

Sigh.....

are you serious? you wanted more than 500 myth for 2000 Philos which was much easier to get?

[LordSliver]

I pretty much expected the same rates, just philo -> myth, myth -> soldiery. That or keep soldiery in the newer/ harder instances and with the old ones philo -> myth and myth -> myth x2 (or more). I was actually expecting that even more once I saw the 1,500 myth books for upgrading relic.

Interestingly, CM (and probably Praetorium) give a worse reward now than if you did them last week and converted your 100 philosophy to 25 myth following the patch.

I agree with the drop rate on soldiery but I think the Myth drops need to be higher on the Roulettes and even Higher for story stuff so new players can complete their story with older players. I don't think there is enough incentive for older players to help newer players unless they are friends or in your Free Company.

Yeah I can't say im a fan of the drop rates on myth. It was easier to farm the basic currency in patch 2.0 then it is now. I'd hate to be a fresh 50 right now trying to gear up.

It really needs to be buffed since it takes 5000 or so to get a full set and sets cant be shared between similar classes like for example darklight healing being good for white mage and scholar. The basic gear needs to be somewhat easy to acquire with the armoury system letting you play multiple classes.

[GerMagic]

Well, the basic gear is still dungeon loot @55-70 now, and CT@ 80 :P It's not like you have to start with full 90 gear.
But yes, they could've gone with a slightly increased rate for the easier dungeons, like maybe 45-50 Myth for WP/AK and also maybe 15 Soldiery instead of 10, but well, we got what we got.

[chococo]

On the other hand though, if they make myth easy to farm, then people will just skip anything between 55 and 70 and go straight to 80/90.

They keep changing stuff from patch to patch, makes it seem like they are updating on the spot without previous planning of the big picture.

[Amused]

I was pretty annoyed to see they nerfed tome drops. All this means is even more mindless grinding of the same few dungeons over and over again. I for one don't think I can tolerate it at this rate.

[Pylfer]

2.2.5 will probably buff the drops for soldiery (in 1.5 months or so). Until then I think they are encouraging people to do the new dungeons and whatnot. They did this around the 1.15 patch or whenever when they bumped up the myth drops from all the dungeons.

So places like WP and AK can expect like 20-30 maybe while Copperbell and Hauke around the 35-40 mark (give or take).

Speculation of course.
