That doesnt account for the amount of alex people who were making mythics already had though.

jesus christ i'm furious someone beat me to Nagi
While I dont doubt it, I'd be very skeptical that all the mythics finished in the past month went from 0-30000 in that time frame.
I don't know about other servers, but Alex prices are dropping towards 10k rapidly on Lakshmi. Give it another 2-3 weeks and we'll be there. Considering the number of people that do Salvage at the moment, that quantity wouldn't surprise me. It's essentially 100 Alexandrite per run (per day), so call it 700 Alexandrite per group per week. Groups are typically 2-5 people (lets say an average of 4). If your server has 200 people doing Salvage daily (50 groups), it would finish one mythic every 6 days.
You could get similar numbers of Alexandrite per run in old salvage but:
1) Old Salvage was much less accessible to the general population, thus there were fewer people doing it.
2) Old Salvage typically took more than 4 people, so there were fewer runs/day even given the same number of people doing Salvage.
3) Old Salvage had zones with shit Alexandrite totals, like Zhayolm and Bhaflau. New Salvage doesn't.
Eventually prices will drop and it will no longer be worth it for people to do new Salvage. Personally, I'm already almost at that point. I did three Salvage runs this morning for the first time in over a week. There's a pretty short list of shit I still want and it's more of a want than a want.
They still sell semiquickly at 14k on phoenix, people do sell them at 13k commonly though.
It annoyed me that people bitched about alex availability for years then when there's fuck TONS available noone is buying (Levi) unless you sell really cheap, which like Byrth says won't be worth it anymore soon. Then said people will go back to bitching about availabilty and price. Well they can smd.
Just my own insight: the previous two took me about two months to collect each, and the most recent took about a month. That said, while doing my Yagrush I completely destroyed the market.
The simple fact is there is not enough Alex. There are plenty of fun/good/completionist mythics worth making.
The simplest solution would be to increase the total alex supplied per run by something like 500%.
This allows people who farm Alex to make the same amount of money in the same amount of time (assuming the price of alex went from 15k each to 3k each as an example), but makes completing them more realistic for those that are buying.
Look at the number of Relic/Empy completed last survey....the ratio shouldn't be 500 to 1 or w/e it is. Who is the guy on ffxiah that has 16 empy, 13 relic, but only 2 mythic?
Something is skewed here. I like the changes Matsui has brought in - and the changes he has promised but held off on are good too. Not implementing crappy two hours just to implement them is a good change, let us hope that after SoA comes out, they can look at Alex supply and go "Gosh, let's fix this."
Alternatively if you are going to make mythics that rare, then they should be the clear-cut superior choice over both relic and empy. As it is now, it just isn't worth it except for.....KKK (lolpup)/Yagrush (lolwhm)/Ryu (loldrg)/Koga? I'm a cor/mage main. I'd love a Death Penalty, but I'm not putting all that effort in for a weapon that provides better quick draw damage and an alternative to wildfire on magic resistant mobs. It just isn't worth it.
Uh...the guy on the ah you are refering too...is cair.
Ya know...the guy who just posted his 3rd.
He's literally 2 posts above you.
You know, I should have assumed that, I just never put 2+2 together.
Sorry, I'm a slow taru.
Unless they make Alex supply increase, don't worry about it
I'd probably make Yagrush first anyway.
Besides, all I've done is craft for 6 months straight now anyway.
If SE really wants to increase the amount of mythics 1 of 2 things need to occur :
1 : lower required of Alex to a reasonable amount.
OR
2 : increase the way to obtain Alex like they did with dynamis.
its not as bad now since salvage has a purpose again, and not everyone has the drive to upgrade a weapon. I really wish SE would rescind their statement about not being allowed to pull alex from the qiqirn. Its such a shady "give us an extra 2 dollars per month" ploy -.-
Just make it so multiple groups can be in at once. And take away the 3 man requirement
