Test Server Findings

If alex was the "hard" part of a mythic I'd have at least 2 already lol

I guess I'm transferring a mule to Bahamut to buy up the massive amounts of Alexandrite that must be in circulation there!

[dasva]

It's not that they are huge. But alot of people don't like to pay the higher prices. Also the whole time involved with the rest of it....

[Darkmagi]

Most people already have a huge head start on the other parts before they even begin considering to make a mythic though. Friend of mine who will never make a mythic has enough ampoules for 2 eyepatches, 200k tokens, and all other starting requirements for example.

[dasva]

Well I meant from scratch or close to it anyways. Obviously if you got most of the other requirements done but not much alex then yeah they will be easier.

[Spira]

Alex is definitely one of the most prominent requirements to make a mythic because of the 4 paths in the qiqirn quest, it is the hardest to obtain by-the-way. Back in the day when nyzul and ein were more popular you didn't have to do those events for that long to get the 100k/150k. Alexandrite on the flip side would have taken at least 10 times the time to obtain, partly by virtue of the entry restriction and from the fact that you'd need to maintain points to pay for entry. and that's probably only if your groups let you get all the alexandrite

The other conditions really aren't that hard.
Especially not now. Been sitting on most of them for years now

Quick go check if DRG has Acc Bonus IV at 99 already!

I completed Alexandrite in two months. Much ado about nothing.

Einherjar would take me another five months if I managed to organize runs twice a week despite being on an EU schedule. There is the blockade as far as I'm concerned.

To be fair, you bought a shitload of alexandrite from some dude though.

From several dudes! I could still do it again for my mule before I could finish Einherjar on either character, though.

I confirmed KKK's 90 version gives the same bonus as its 95 version.

Well, they both have Enhances Martial Arts IV, so that's really to be expected. (Not that SE couldn't fuck stuff up, so I suppose it was worth testing after all)

See, the main problem with Alex for me has always been the gil. I'm sitting on about 5 mil and have no real way to make a lot more. I did some calculations based on the price on my server and I was expecting to pay at least 90 mil for the Alex. That's why it's out of my reach.

Unless someone has some suggestions I guess.

Im from bahamut too and price starts from 12k so I have no idea how you got 90M.

[Byrthnoth]

Conqueror is much worse than previously suspected.

[Darkmagi]

Wow, that's pretty pathetic.

[NynJa]

lol, thats dumb as shit

[Byrthnoth]

Better than Glanzfaust, Terpsichore, Ryunohige, or Kogarasumaru, which appear to have received literally no benefit from their tier level-ups. Also better than Nagi, because holy shit @ Nagi.

[Churchill]

You can still sell your alex byrthy!

[noodles355]

Wait, do the "Augments "Jump"" I-IV all just force crit? Is there no change between the different tiers? Maybe higher tiers have an attack boost like AF1 boots?

[Byrthnoth]

You know, when Narse was testing and sending me his logs all of the jumps he recorded were crits, but Amador claims that he gets some non-crits:

If that's the case, the crit rate boost to Jump may vary with Ryunohige level.

If nothing else do cruor pts and npc the gil. That's if you have no way of crafting/fishing, mercing stuff, selling leech spots in pts or fighting stuff for money drops most of which will either be faster and/or easier.
