Man, I've started a Mythic weapon in FFXI.

It's something I could have started a long time ago, but due to the sheer weight of time investment and gil needed, I always wrote it off as not worth doing.

Nowadays it's a lot easier, because you can do the old 6 and 36 man content required to make one by yourself, but even so the timesink is still huge and the gil sink as well.

There's somethings so surreal about farming a currency called Alexandrite, when your name is Alexander, and you're farming it inside of Alexander.
