    Where to obtain Alexandrite - Please post experiences!

    My Salvage group did Silver Sea Remnants today, we obtained 4 Alexandrite (Screenshot not available).

    The path we took:

    Hammerblow
    Powderkeg
    GGears
    CC

    With TH4, we dropped 3 killing the gears in the GGears room (none from Rampart), and 1 dropped from killing the Gear Train on the CC floor.

    Would be cool to see what other people's experiences are, and possibly workout what sort of drop rate we're looking at, someone in my Salvage group suggested the drop rate is similar to Card drop rates.

    (Please move to another forum if necessary).

    we got 3 today in our Arrapago run, dropped off gears and ramparts.

    possible upgrade piece for the Nyzul relics?

    Re: Where to obtain Alexandrite - Please post experiences!

    Got 4 in Bhaflau Remnants.

    2 from the 4f gears (we only killed 3, beat the boss anyways =P). 1 from the triple gears for rampart on 3f. And 1 from the 1f rampart.

    Re: Where to obtain Alexandrite - Please post experiences!

    Am I missing something?

    Roz Relics require ~18000 single, if you get an average of 200 coin per dyna, it takes ~90 run to collect all the coins needed

    Toa Relics require 50000 alexand , if you get an average of 5 per salvage, it ll take ~10 000 motha fuck'n run to collect all the coins needed



    Moar math

    [spoiler:8sok7mhh]90 run = 45 weeks if you run 2 times a week = almost a year

    10 000 run = 1428 weeks if you run 7 times a week = 27 years[/spoiler:8sok7mhh]

    This won't be the case I tell you. Update is still so new and people haven't explored it completely yet. I am expecting certain bosses/events that'll drop Alexandrite in chunks, like a bag of 1,000 Alexandrites or whatever.

    Re: Where to obtain Alexandrite - Please post experiences!

    Unless there's a way to get more Alexandrite easily (unlikely, there aren't items in-game to correspond to higher denominations), maybe this is just SE's idea of throwing a bone to the gil-buyers who think they'll be getting ToAU relics. "See, you can still get it by buying stuff, it'll just take ~500m-1b gil and a few years!"

    Meanwhile, the people who don't rely on gil for everything are getting them en masse through the other paths.

    Problem is, there is no trace of a 100, 1k, or 10k value alexandrite items in the .dats.

    If a 1000 alexandrites drop, that'd completely make singles useless >_>

    I'm more inclined to think you won't need 50000 in the end.
