I'm 2/9 on books right now but don't want to lose out.

Sounds like they are purchased with hunt points. So you can more then likely either buy them from the start or hoard your points until you can buy them.

Someone else might be able to confirm, but can the Mysterious Map purchased with Mytho be bought before you unlock that step of the Novous? I would assume that if that is not available, then you wont be able to buy Alex from the hunt either.

Can do the mysterious map on any job.

**Kaiyoko** · 2014-07-02 19:10

If that was directed at my question, that wasn't what I was asking. I know you can do the map on any job. To be more specific I want to know if you haven't finished creating the initial sphere scroll step with the ink, if you are able to buy a Map with Mytho. This means you do not have access to the daily either.

My alt doesn't have the option when talking to Auriana.

It probably only becomes available after you've made an animus and started the novus quest.

**Kaiyoko** · 2014-07-02 19:42

I would assume then based on that the hunt Alexandrites will not be available till you reach that far in the quest then.

They cannot be purchased until you are on the novus step.

Hope this is feasible, that's my plan.

**Gulkeeva** · 2014-07-03 11:20

Plan to stock pile alexandrites myself for future ninja, although I kind of wish my SCH novus didn't take so long, wanted to do WHM one also ;/

**Raldo** · 2014-07-03 11:36

There's more than enough time to stockpile 75+ Alexandrites between two major patches doing dailies alone, so I'm not sure what your issue is. Even if you do 2x Novus before stockpiling for NIN, you'll still be a fair chunk along toward it by the time your NIN is ready to use them.

For shits and giggles has anyone tried capping an elemental resistance on their weapon?

**Ayer** · 2014-07-03 15:38

Scroll won't let you infuse elemental materia.

**Obsidian** · 2014-07-03 15:41

Lame.

Guys rush your SR now before the 'penalty' in 2.3!

yeah but I bet they add larger myth rewards like they did in 2.1. 100 per dungeon.

that is the boost to complete a dungeon with at least 1 new player

but yeah some dungeons will get boosted myths

Brayflox's Longstop (Hard)
The total number of Allagan tomestones of mythology has been increased from 50 to 70.
The total number of Allagan tomestones of soldiery has been reduced from 45 to 30.
The number of tomestones yielded by boss enemies has been adjusted.

They are probably shooting down Brayflox speed runs, I can totally see the new distribution be as below:

1st Boss: 10 Mythology
2nd Boss: 20 Mythology
3rd Boss: 40 Mythology + 30 Soldiery

It won't matter much, with the buffs to Duty Roulette and the new ways to obtain tomes, we should still come out ahead (or so I hope.) Besides, full run is what, 4-5 minutes more?

**kisada** · 2014-07-04 11:10

meh kind of hate that they are forcing us to roulette. i'm totally fine with them giving more incentives but it seems like we're getting pigeon-holed into doing it and not much else.

**Sho** · 2014-07-05 11:07

I stopped all manner of super Brayflox speedruns once I hit Animus -> Novus stage anyways.

No rush for me on obtaining Novus (29/75), so I'm perfectly fine continuing to do a full round of roulettes a day. I don't think they can nerf Brayflox at all without some problem creeping up (if you topload the myth onto the final boss, you'll start seeing tanks/healers fishing for 2/3 in-progress), so they are just going to buff alternatives, which is a smart move.

If you think about it, a full run of roulettes post 2.3 patch will be:

High Level: 140~170 Myth
Trials: 110~115 Myth
MS: 130 Myth
Low Level: 100 Myth

So just about 515 Myth per day, not including the new Expert Roulette which will likely also be between 100 and 150 myth, bringing us up to a grand total of about 600 to 650 myth per day. Then you have those who will do their 60 Myth from Beastman Dailies and 200 from Crystal Tower. No one should have a problem doing two alexandrite a day now. Maybe even three depending on how The Hunt goes. Novus stage has been rendered a complete joke now while Animus stage is far more manageable.
