Any confirmed reason as to WHY Myth is how it is atm?

[CYoung187]

Maybe they learned from the fact that darklight was so easily attained that nobody gave a damn about it? Players should not go i50 to i90 in a day. By keeping myths lower Coil 1 is still relevent.

[LexSunfire]

yeah I don't think there's a problem at all. they took the cap off of myth but didn't want to make it TOO easy and TOO fast for people to get full i90. shout out to all those people who didn't want their "accomplishments" to be "obsolete" too quickly. As someone else said, the soldiery tomes cap and current awards are set to where you can run your dr once a day and hit your cap by weeks end. makes perfect sense to me.

[Seryl199]

Coil gives less tomes than before but there is no weekly limit. As it takes less time than a dungeon it's not that bad, you can repeat if you want and the time/tome ratio may not be so bad.

I think this will be a big deal in the near future. With 30% echo buffs up, I can see coil speed runs for tomes being a common thing.

Leviathan EX is an EX Joke, easier than ANY of the other EX Primals, and oh look... Ilvl 100 easily farmable things...

Suuuuuuuure. Easily farmable i100. Unlike doing fates and brayflox, right?

Anyway, they simply want us to take longer to gear up. And with so many myth being dumped into an NPC, their value should stay higher for a longer time than philo did.

Levi EX is easy. Fast. And doesn't require prep work. And for half, if not more than half, of the classes in the game it is a better upgrade than the animus. I like that the animus takes so much myth. What I dislike is how undervalued soldiery is because of it.

The best option for farming myth is to do Brayflox boss 1 and 2 with heavy aoe damage dealers. A close (ish) second could be turn 4. The reason for this problem is the lack of myth from the final boss.

Old Hauke Manor HM - Top Tier Hard Mode of 2.1 - 20/0 -> 30/0 -> 50/50 Philo/Myth Correct?
Brayflox HM - Top Tier Hard Mode of 2.2 - 20/0 -> 30/0 -> 0/45 Myth/Soldiery Correct?

With this formula, you can see that Soldiery stands at nearly the same value in 2.2 as did myth in 2.1
Why then, with the removal of Philosophy tomes as an acquirable item, does the myth drop rate remain the same?

[Seshayn]

I am not saying the current myth ratio's are incorrect, what I am saying is that if the current myth ratios ARE correct, the soldiery ratios are NOT. They are FAR TOO HIGH.

Also, the problem of 2 boss brayfloxing needs to be FIXED by redistributing the myth tome drops of all dungeons to include the last boss as a source of myth and not just soldiery.

Suggestion: Instead of Brayflox HM - Top Tier Hard Mode of 2.2 - 20/0 -> 30/0 -> 0/45 Myth/Soldiery Change to
Brayflox HM - Top Tier Hard Mode of 2.2 - 10/0 -> 15/0 -> 25/25 Myth/Soldiery

I've got to say it's a real bummer trying to get groups for Brayflox as a monk, almost everyone wants nothing but BLM and SMN. I wouldn't mind the change if I didn't essentially have to level a second class to have access to the most preferred and fastest way of farming Myth. This is really more of an issue with the dungeon being too easy than anything else.

I've just resigned to getting my Animus a little slower, maybe if a few other people in my guild get their Atma I can ride their coattails for fast Myth.

edit: Not to go too far off topic but is Haukke Manor still the 100 Myth? Maybe I should just keep DFing that.

No. Things that gave 100 Philosophy do not give as much Myth.

[Simaril]

I actually think soldiery is a little too easily available. I've had bad luck with FCs, and bascially PuGd everything upto Titan HM. My FC got me Titan HM and good attempts at Garuda Ex, and attempts at coil t1... and then fell apart. I have no FC atm, but I've been running expert DF. I'm perfectly fine there at ilv 83, with some vanya gear, eventhough I have over 1k soldiery and haven't spent any. Gear isn't holding my progress back, loack of a FC, or decent PuGs in DF are.

I tihnk DF has been bad for the community (which has made it hard to find a decent FC). And easy availablity of gear has only put omre emphasis on the need for a decent FC. Honestly, the only thing ruining this game for me is the players.

[saber_alter]

because they don't want ilvl 55-80 to become COMPLETELY irrelevant.

so new players don't "ding" fifty and are immediately in full i90.
