It can't be done, even if you were sad enough to try for 24 hours straight

Sad? You mean dedicated ALPHA XI gamer.

the more fun thing to argue about is what job is best for speedrunning salvage and if its worth your time to stop and do things like ramparts or just gun for the boss in the interest of time=gil.

I prefer BLU/DNC because you can pretty much kill everything in a very short time.

I personally kill all NMs but chigoe, all gears, and one chariot (to TP on before boss). Gear and stat unlocks are obvious and done in a specific order based on what I start with.

Never timed myself but it doesn't seem to take long.

Average Arrapago run-through for me is around 20-30 min (full gear unlock + STR, DEX and AGI). I generally don't mess with lesser NM's and go straight to the Alex floor.

Bhaflau Remnants takes a bit longer since I usually do that zone on SMN.

As far as I know, the only zone that's still once a day is Arrapago II. The others should be open to you as long as you have a permit.

Considering the removed restrictions I'd probably just go straight for the two final bosses ignoring everything else. Pouches only, no bs.

Ain't nobody got time for single/triple gears.

Original Arrapago is restricted in the same way, which was annoying for the "Kill Armored Chariot 3 times" trial. If that lock is still in place, then people people doing that trial will probably be upset they have to go 3 days instead of 2 or 3 hours.

I was going to be done after Yagrush (#2) but now I figure - why not keeping going? I've always been a goal-oriented player so having something keeping me busy helps with the mundane and repetitive grinds.

SE has created a socialist myth-tropolis now for everyone, so instead of being butt-hurt about the ease of procuring one now, why not just enjoy the benefits of the new changes?

#3 will either be:

wait.. i'm confused

Did they ease the requirements to make a mythic again? Can I just span Nyzul, Einherjar, and assaults all day long now?

Considering Alexes are gonna drop to like 1k, I could see this happening. Maybe not in 1 day, but 1 week easily.

No way. At some point the sell price will be too low to bother farming it for sale, and that's probably in the 4k range.

IS the assumption for the price drop game wide or just server specific?

it's pretty uniform among those who have been paying attention, regardless of Server. I saw Alex dipping below 6k last night, and 7500 was the go to price about a week ago. sucks to be all those people who relied on this to make gil, but SE has zero *** to give regarding ruining the economy of the game at this point.

SE is making where you won't get an invite on any job without at least 1 mythic on said job you are going with. Shocked they still shaft the emp users (scarce hmp, cinders, dross) as well as Rune and Geo get nothing out of this. Oh well at least it lets me solo spam ***to finish my mythic. And it really really helps those who don't have access to millions upon million of gil. Thanks SE

You know what would suck worse than completing a Mythic in a day?

Finding out afterwards you're suddenly subjected to Groundshog Day rules.

Not gonna lie, I'd honestly be interested to see someone try to marathon it on a fresh 99 from scratch for a possible marathon charity stream. Dub it the "Majora Mythic Challenge" with the planned 3 days or so someone mentioned before in the thread, and you got some views that can trickle in from the morbidly curious.

You are correct and I commend that. I've never had gil besides profitting off items that I knew would drop in price in a short time (made millions on plutons, boulders and beitsu's when they first came out and sold for 500k per) but recently my gil stream has dried up and has been limited to dusk and leaf items.

With these changes I can put in the work and finish my mythic within a reasonable time with no need to buy any alexs. I can go hard and farm a week or two of salvage and get 30k in alexs (currently need 20k to finish dagger) and keep what little gil I have to myself. Not even mentioning that you could spam dyna 24/7 as well and build any relic you want within a week as well. This is a great update to get some of the best weapons in the game! Just wished they took care of emp and ergon the same way.

I was gonna make Epeolatry before my mythic, but it looks like it'll be just as fast to work on it as I finish coalitions.

Let me know if this is right.

You do the new Rhapsodies content and when you finish you get a key item that allows you to have ID tags replenish every 10 minutes?

I'm coming back if yes :P

Yes, I just cleared 20 assaults in like 2.5 days (to be fair, took longer than it should have, a few were being a pain).
