Question on 'Forging a New Myth' battle

[Kaylia]

If you don't destroy the items when you enter, you can keep trying indefinitely.

Way to miss the point again.

It's a fight that is designed in a way you're not suposed to lose it. Why does it fucking matter if you dc to try it again. You could just walk away and try it again like any mission BC for all I care. You should not lose your item until you win, it's simply retarded no matter how you look at it.

The fight is designed so you can lose it actually.
You can Lose it by.

Dying, Timing out, not completing your required WS.

But what we are trying to tell you is , shit wont change, because square is to lazy to change how they code WS.

The 60 to 70 of us who have completed a mythic already, didnt really think it was that big of a deal. The only guy who did think losing items was such a big deal, was the first guy and he lost, to a time out.

I seriously can't follow your logic here....

"The fight is designed so you can lose it actually"
"The only guy who did think losing items was such a big deal, was the first guy and he lost, to a time out"

You would need to be fucking retarded to lose this fight. No one is going to lose their item unless they a) disconect, or b) don't know anything about the fight (which is very unlikely after the first success).

Why would you punish these players? ...it's totally pointless.

Last i checked Fiendishone was all about Samurai and had a kick-ass corsair (but hardly used cor)

If I was all about SAM I'd be doin an Amano.

I'm more about gearing any job I have at 75, not gimping them.

I could easily have a fire sale and do what Alma did by selling off anything of value to buy alexandrites, I just chose not to. I'll get the 30k eventually, it's not like I have to have the mythic quest done tomorrow.

Another dumb question, but do you have to do anything to the Hydra other than kill it?

Don't even have to kill it, just gotta drop it to i think under 80 or 85% or drop off two of his heads just look at it, as your chance to store TP for your the first taunt.

this fight has me scared for when i do it on summoner. i was thinking that smn/nin would be my best bet, with garuda holding hate and curing me. anyone got an opinion on how viable an attempt that would be?

Alternatively, if you're worried about MP at all, you could just use Carbuncle. Use a Meteorite at the start of the fight to lock hate on Carbuncle, and just spam Healing Ruby 2 to stay alive (it heals both you and Carbuncle).

Though for such an important fight, you're likely to be carrying juices, ethers and elixirs to restore your MP anyway, so Garuda is a good option as well.
