Myth for one, or myth for all?!

[Ksandra]

Well, that's an exaggeration, but I am curious if people are using their myth only on one class, or do they do multiple?

I was thinking in my head how it's semi silly to have a cap on myth when in say, WoW, if you capped your points/dungeons on one class, you could just log into your other class and do it again. And yet, FFXIV has always given the impression that you can be versatile by playing multiple classes on one job. (though please, don't turn this thread into random complaint 2.0)

I recently got my af2 legs on bard (have af2 hands and relic). I could technically stop there and try to get lucky (rofl) on allagan pieces. Thus, using my myth on another job to help it become more viable for coil.

Or I could keep af2ing my bard, and hope to get greeded allagan pieces for another job (rofl).


So while debating this, it made me wonder what other people are doing. Do you stick to one class, or do you try to spread the wealth with pieces that should be BiS (or close enough to it), while keeping the rest in DL + allagan in order to versatile yourself?

So far the only thing I've spent my Myths on are the Relic +1 weapons, which makes me the holder of two of them (BRD and WHM).

I kinda figured that since Turn 5 will be nigh impossible for us to do until someone has finally figured out the fight (or proved it for sure it's unbeatable due to server/mechanics/whatnot, but that's a whole other can of worms), so as for now I'll probably spend my Myths on slots which have equivalent Allagan pieces that 'supposedly' drop from Turn 5. The two Relic +1 weapons seemed like the logical things to upgrade first from that list of selections.

I will be most likely focusing on the WHM gear for now, though, as it's the job I most frequent (well, more like only) in Coil.

I think most of the Allagan items are side-grades or worse than Myth pieces. Making Coil dorps not as worth it for your main job. It really makes me wonder about SE's thought process on loot grades.

Still better than DL, and (mostly) better than Crafted IL70's.

While spending all your Myths on the job might be the best choice, I just find it more 'efficient' overall with doing it the way I am.

And besides, Allagan stuff look cool. Not to mention it's a status symbol. I mean, c'mon, you gotta admit at least that. =P

[Seravi Edalborez]

I missed like 2-3 weeks worth of Myth so I'm way behind the curve. That said I've thus far spent it on SCH +1 relic and AF2 head, planning on AF2 feet next week. So far not really considering spending it on other jobs.

I also have yet to do Coil since I've been dicking around with random things like quests and fishing and silly forum posts for entirely too long.

[Eleven19]

On a whim, I decided to level up BLM after my bard hit 50 and obtained relic. Dinged 48 half an hour ago, so now I'm seriously considering putting some myth stones into it. I haven't done any Coils, mostly been helping LS members with things I've progressed through. Hell, I'm even considering BLM AF2 coat almost solely on basis of the looks..

Dunno, was settled on Bard AF2 body, but I'm so not looking forward to being that pink. Working on BLM might be what I decide on.

[Kurokikaze]

I decided that I will only spend myths on my PLD till I get everything I need for it and then move onto my DRG. Theres just not enough myth coming in to spread the wealth and the low cap keeps makes things worse. They really need to allow each job to get their own myth/tokens.

[Nyanoko]

I'm burning them on one job currently, and adjusting according to whichever Allagan pieces drop, keeping accuracy capped.
It probably doesn't matter though, since people can clear up to turn 5 with just full DL + NQ relic.

[Kaisha]

Burning on SCH for now, also a couple weeks late compared to most folks since I didn't bother jumping in until week 3. By the time I even come close to completing gear for it, they'll likely have at least doubled the cap, at which point I'll probably consider doing it for a tanking class. It's about what, over 4 months to finish a full gear set for one job with the current caps?

[Deuce]

Bought Relic +1 for DRG weeks ago and have been saving my Myth ever since, will be up to almost 1K after this week. Still trying to decide what to do with them because I'm not sure if I want to keep playing DRG as my main focus.

[Prothescar]

All for PLD

[lilbubbles]

Well.. at 300 tomes per week it will take 21 weeks to max a job in myth

With coil you get 3 drops a month on average(at least until 5 becomes farm)....

So if you're planning to play multiple jobs you want the +1 relic and ring for each of the jobs you play and pray for coil to give you the rest.

If you're playing just one job save tomes to compliment the drops you get in coil. Get head, buy a body, etc.

[MrSamuels]

I will be spending all on my SCH as myth gear seems mainly best in slot bar a few pieces. I am annoyed I didn't investigate drops from coil before dropping my myth on the head piece the second week I could, the stats are the same as the drop so was a complete waste in my opinion.

If I could recommend anything it would be check Allagan vs Myth gear if stats are the same stay the fuck away from upgrading with your myths as you can guarantee the game will drop it the week after (Turn 2 has dropped 4 heads in a row after we both upgraded to AF2 for SCH).

[Argantes]

I still main PLD.
I have a SMN too which has Relic but that probably won't see +1 till PLD is sufficiently geared.
I don't do Coil yet but I'll probably gear SMN there when I start bothering.

[shaddix]

I was wondering if it would be a viable goal to gear multiple jobs in this game.

[Toth]

Finishing relic+1 for BLM today than working on relic body. Switching them to SMN horn and then undecided (probably relic+1 for smn).

Realistically you'd want to make multiple characters since fucking everything is time gated. That way you can run coil on each class and have 300 myth/week to spend. On a single character you're gonna get fucked on myth no matter what you do. If your group allows for it you may be able to get allagan for alts there, but you're still heavily subjected to time gating. Basically SE are fucking idiots and let you play everything on one character but it's the worst way to do it. That said, coil 1-4 can be cleared with DL and NQ relic, so it's really on you how far you wanna take things.

[Niiro]

I'd say Crystal Tower gear should provide a nice filler between DL and AF2/Allagan to make the latter not so essential but considering they can't even keep turn 5 of BC open for more than a day I fully expect CT to be released, bugged in the first 2 hours, and immediately stuck with a "sorry we're closed" sign for a month or two.

[Therin]

I'm gearing three jobs but only spending myth on two. But I am prioritizing BRD because the main upgrade for DRG is +1 relic, which is too expensive to buy at 300/week unless it's your only job. I don't feel like spending three weeks to upgrade one piece of gear.

They really need to raise the cap. 300/week only makes sense for a single job player, which, as Kiarax said, goes against the mission of what SE is trying to do with a multi-class system.

Even with a single job like myself, 300 cap is kind of stupid. I know that if she either raised it or lowered prices everyone would run around in full Af2 and I don't see a problem. Its just a matter of time. Wasted time.
Because don't tell me you need skills for AK right now, I could do it eyes closed by now
