Even so, it's a massive waste to do that instead of just selling valkyrie tears and using that to feed your alexandrite fund or something. >_>

If an extra 200-300K per day is going to make or break your mythic progress, you probably don't have a snowball's chance in hell anyway.

Not really. Even if I was to farm just dynamis solo every day I could get a mythic at current prices in a year. Is it worth it? Probably not. But spending 200-300k/day would be pointless when the major cockblock there is the alexandrite.

Some people also have mules with incredible amounts of ichor.
How does a mule wind up with 300k ichor, but not the main? :x

Even then, if you used a mule with 300k ichor, and used that ichor to fund 1 mule+ main's entry to Odin (ignoring the other 4 necessary), the mule will be spending 9k ichor daily, which will only last 33 runs, which will only get the main 2/3 the necessary ichor, presuming they start from scratch.

Adding the list to the 2nd post of the front page.

Some things to keep in mind for this version update:

  • Salvage, prepare to be disappointed. Also, the effects of Embrava that are being postponed will be put into effect for this event only.

  • Meeble Burrows: Trading your grimoire to the npc in Upper Jueno will allow players to view the status of their expeditions. Also the maximum stock of Moblin pheromone sacks will be increased to 10, 15 by using points.

  • 18 Bard Songs will be changed from single target to AoE, Pianissimo will now reduce the casting time of the next song and will be made available at level 20.

  • Perfect Defense / Tabula Rasa will NOT be nerfed this update, but will be implemented soon.

  • Nyzul Isle Uncharted, Legion, and Einherjar adjustments will continue as planned this update.

  • Limbus and Einherjar entry times will be reduced to 20 hours.

  • Both paralysis and "Killer" effects will now function in Voidwatch. More adjustments to come.

  • A furnishing will be added so you can select what music plays in your Mog House (home nation of course). If you own a Spinet then these songs will be added to the playlist as well.

  • Salvage items as well as new Starlight Festival and New Year Celebration items will all be storable right away.

The einherjar and Limbus times being abbreviated is especially nice. Offers our shell's scheduling some more flexibility.

I'm talking about people who have had characters doing ein since it was implemented and not spent any ichor. I'm also assuming anyone who is willing to do something like this will have had their alexandrite done long before they would finish eyepatch. Some people have the ability to make enough for a mythic every couple weeks. Especially if you're willing to cross server sell/buy stuff.

I was hoping the RNG recycle adjustments would make it in time for this update, but I doubt it. Yay for two more months of wasted gil.

Not being added this patch. On the test server you don't get them till 99, though.

They said they're looking into it, so presumably it's not coming this month.

I'm not really surprised, Salvage is a very complex system.

They left a test bug in probably something like "ask moogle nicely three times for a mythic and it gives in because it hates being asked three times -- just irritates it"

It's late, wonder if anyone gets that reference ._.

Bugs that work against the playerbase? Who cares.
If blu spells and WS's had a huge macc bonus instead of macc penalty, it would have been patched within hours.

I'm pretty sure the delay is precisely because they want to avoid that.

You know, if Salvage on the test server was actually doable instead of "were just putting all this ***here to test if the pathos removal works", maybe this "critical bug" could have been found anywhere in the previous 6 months.

Isnt that the point of the test server?

They want to balance testing with keeping content a surprise. Part of the Salvage event is figuring it out.

So the update for today was postponed because of a bug. Turns out the new SAM ability ( Yaegasumi ) wasn't working as intended. This is rare footage from the Test Server where we can see many players testing out the new ability.



It sure doesn't look like the description at all. "Evades all special attacks that deal physical or magic damage. Enhances the potency of your next weapon skill every time you evade a special attack."
