Please remove this 2000 total Mythology cap!

[Wildsprite]

Let me hold your hand and show a prime reason why not.

I'm surprised how many people are gung-ho about how there absolutely must be a myth cap without actually being able to produce reasoning as to why. So far it's just been "Because I said so and because that's how it currently is!".

Sounds to me like a lot of people who are afraid of change, regardless of how small it is. =D

No cap on myths = endless supply of myth's item in market = eventually worth 1 gil = no point of having myth items

Seriously it was one page behind your comment, are you THAT lazy? Stop bashing people if you're not even going to bother to put forth 1 millimeter of effort. Don't try to reword your comment either. What you said exactly in this quote states no one made a good reason, not most made bad reasons or some... your verbiage shows NO ONE made a good reason. That is an extremely valid reason.

actually it isn't a valid reason at all. it's a speculated excuse nothing more.
unless you can come up with a real valid reason please stop trolling the forums to flame people.

I don't necessarily agree with the OP but, you people standing against his suggestion are just speculating.

It'll get removed in 2.4 similar to philosophy, until then just spend them, as several people have said it takes a minute to spend them...

yeah spending them on things you don't want is a great idea

Honestly I think a better idea IF they don't plan to remove myth tomes would be to slowly raise the cap on them. maybe in 1k or 2k increments over several patches like maybe bring em up to 3k in 2.4 and 4k in 3.0...something like that.

Well if you don't want to waste them on things you don't want, stop complaining and embrace the cap...

It's called inflation. God dammit people. Larger or no cap would create an exponential jump in myth prices for simple items, you think it's fine the way it is,but you have that option to play the game too much to consider 2k is a silly cap. For the rest of us that only have some hours here and there the 2k cap is not often hit daily or often and as a result the prices set for myth items are reasonable. I'm fine with 1500 myth for a book, can you imagine the price if there was no cap? Thanks, but no thanks.

Well i already got all IL90 gear set for my other jobs( even the jobs that is not lv 50 yet) and that include all zenith relic weapons... now my mytho caps aways reach 2000 and what i can do with it?

Sounds like someone started working on their Atma weapon(s) a bit late.

P.s. I haven't hit the cap in months.

Why not request removing Sol cap instead? ^^;

I'd like to see them remove the cap for one reason only, Animus. The cap only hurts that. You can farm and spend myth almost effortlessly, I hit the cap occasionally but immediately go and spend all my points so cap or no cap I would still have the same supply to the market of materials.

You can buy or farm and store, radz oil, thanvarian mists, atma, scroll ink, alexandrite. So any job getting to 50 can immediately rank straight through the questline EXCEPT ANIMUS. Yup that 13500 myth you need for all the books can't be stored so you cant pre-emptively prepare that phase which immediately makes relic a pointless upgrade now since getting weapon from leviathan or farming CT for the allagan tomestone allows you to pre-emptively gear a new job. Whilst the relic questline at animus phase is stonewalled behind the cap of myth.

Consider that this might be intentional, and part of the point?

The relic chain isn't a normal part of gearing up, it goes entirely outside of it. Anyone can see that it's easier to get better gear through just about any means 'other' then the relic chain. It's largely vanity and accolades, which require more from the players no matter where they pop up in this game.

Yeah I mean, if we were allowed to pre-load 13500 Myth, why not allow the dungeons, fates, and monsters for Animus book to be done before you can actually buy a trials book

That makes no sense, I didn't say I could pre kill hydra/chimera/primals/Amdapor keep so why would I even think to assume I could pre-do the books, i'm just saying the time needed to obtain and buy the books is the biggest sink in the entire questline and is not justifiable to a new job in any means and even more so when the next teir of weaponry comes out in 2.4 and the new job Ninja can immediately step into an i110 soldiery weapon with pre-obtained soldiery tokens and allagan tomestone.

Although there is always the chance since those books were deemed worthless by the npc and they just decided to rip you off for 1500 myth each that Yoshi could just remove the cost to buy books entirely in 2.4 but that's speculative. I have no problem with any of the content in the entire questline other than the needless myth grind to get the books currently. Which I believe could be alleviated somewhat by allowing people to farm myth without having to detach from a good hunt/speed run party to buy the book complete the book and then get back to farming myth.

Chances are myth will be abolished in 2.4 like philo in 2.2.
Going by precedent the exchange rate would be 4:1 meaning 375 soldiery per book with 2.4.
By then soldiery weekly cap will be removed, and if you have 2000 myth, those can be converted to 500 soldiery.

At 375 sold/book, you can have enough sold for 5 books before you reach cap.

Other exchange rates are possible as well of course, with other scalings. Like 5:1 for 300sold/book...
