Please remove this 2000 total Mythology cap!

[ZephyrAM]

... 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

I suspect the cap is there for a gear change. I guess as ilvl increases, soldiery gear will bump down to myth tomes, myth to Philo and a new gear level will be available using soldiery.

If there were no cap, as soon as the soldiery gear became myth players could just have a full set for their alt jobs as soon as they hit 50. It would also apply to SE adding in aesthetic items to prevent people buying loads and flooding the market boards with them.

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...

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.

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.

"I don't have time to quickly teleport to mor dhona, and walk 20 feet to the npc that exchanges items for myth. Please allow me to be even lazier"

[Defteros]

If you don't want to spend mitho in things you dont want, then by the love of god, DON'T DO IT.
Auriana is not pointing a knife on your throat asking you "BUY MY TOMESTONE OR DIE".
she doesn't give a damn about you.
she's the Emma Frost of Eorzea.

[Nekodar]

It's very simple really... Your magic pockets that seem to be able to hold just about anything of any size just can't fit more tomestones of mythology...
Cram in more and you will break the dimensional walls and enter the void and disappear from the face of Eorzea forever.

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...
