Look at all that magic accuracy.
ws at 100% tp to get more magic accuracy
I wish it'd have some DD Potential :/
Song Effect Duration Bonus is nice stuff I guess. Most songs at 90 right now don't really require a main hand slot, which leaves you the option of this.

Killing basically everything in Aht Urhgan, 100,000 Ichor from Einherjar, 150,000 Tokens from Nyzul Isle, Getting a PW pop, and getting Captain Rank twice. Yeah, the only thing holding people back from getting Mythic weapons is the Alexandrite.
Einherjar is the only thing besides Alex that will hold you back. If you do a T2 every 3 days, it will take you about 210 to reach the 100,000 Ichor goal, and about 150 days if you do T3.
In that time period, you would be able to finish Nyzul Tokens starting from 0 in 50 days doing 91-100 runs with someone else hosting, then another 50 days for Assault Recording assuming you already have captain. Einherjar and Nyzul together are only about 2 hours of your day, the rest of which can be used on ZNM pops, or even mercing someone's pop if you know someone with it. But you do realize how much work that is right? You don't see every person who has an Empyrean weapon done with all of that up to the Alexandrite too ya dig? It takes a ***load of dedication and time to make a mythic, Alexandrite is just another contributing factor.
This is also assuming you are starting from scratch. 0 nyzul tokens, 0 ichor, etc. But yeah for me its the alex, I pretty much have everything done but about 23k alex. I'm waiting to see what the update may hold.

When I built my mythic it was a lot different, Lv.75 still and people were doing salvage. I don't really see any of it being hard, just a pain to do. Takes a long time and some good friends. Alexandrite is a lot more expensive now and less available. I paid around 3-4k for mine, on Odin I see them selling for around 13k. Not sure how you all feel toward the weapons you would like to build. I feel like my Yagrush breaks my WHM. I've always been a main WHM, so I'm always at events with people around me so they reap the benefits. But I enjoy it all the same!

Your good attitude makes me wish you were on my server.

It's too bad about the Alex; on Siren, we're selling ours for 9k to a buyer, some others wanted as low as 7k. My friends and I try to go every day, and when we were doing AR we typically got a 70-ish with good purses. Unfortunately we're on BR, so we only get a pitiful handful.
If OP or any mythic makers have Assault points to burn, it's really easy to do Salvage lowman. My friends and I go MNK, THF, BLU, and RDM (all taru, no emp weapons) and typically completely finish AR with at least 5 minutes to spare.

You built your Yagrush in a time when Yagrush was extraordinarily useful. Pretending it has retained even a fraction of its usefulness is silly.

Yeah it's easy..you can even duo it (with a mule to enter) but the hard part is finding someone who will help you for 2 hours everyday for absolutely no gain. Once, twice, three times maybe. But 7 times a week for year? (if you farm all 30k) That's a lot of time to be asking for someone.

More like he's right that Yagrush has hardly any usefulness anymore, especially since mythics cost 300mil if you buy all the alexandrite. You can na-ga 2 people in Abyssea.....when fighting orthrus......yay? And from my understanding, you don't really need it in voidwatch because you dont have all those melee in range or whatnot.

I wasn't even thinking about lolssea, but in VW DDs may not be in range, but chances are they'll be in enfeebga range, and wont dodge every enfeeb anyway. I'm not saying its as good as at 75 but saying it hasnt even retained a fraction is just nonsense

Nothing can be said about usefulness until 99.

To be honest with you, situations don't always work as you tell it. Just because you think people duo everything does not mean they do. I have many close friends on Odin that I've been doing stuff with for years. We do a lot of stuff with at least a party, not because we need the people. Because the point was to play with friends in the first place. I get use out of it all over. And it's benison effect has been great also. It might not be as useful as it was at lv.75, but I still feel it has not lost it's touch.

Also I would like to point out that what ever you might think, it really does not matter. It is your opinion, and mine is my own. If you wanna be all Buzz Killington about it, that's ok. I will still be happy with it. And the people around me would still rather me having it than not.

The only thing that holds you back is einherjar and alexandrite supply, since you need minimum 6 people to head all the way out to nashmau (traveling is annoying, and they all have to be on on the same time, the same two days for 6 months, easier said than done) and alexandrite is obvious.
Assaults/Nyzul is easy. You only need 2 friends to help you for 3.5 hours total a week, and with their assault points, they can get the leftover good items and AH them, and you can get anyone 100floor nyzul for the few WS that are still good. I've wasted so many tags and I'll still be done with that stuff before I even come close to finishing the alexandrite. @12.5k and counting >_>
Heya everyone!!
I'm making this thread to get some feedback from everyone about which mythic is the best (or you think its the best) and why.
For me, the 2 best ones would be yagrush and aymur, followed by burt and ryu, reason for this order is my main is WHM and that weapon at 90 would enhance even further my role and aymur would really help me and my pet kill faster.
Doing 1 myself and cant decide really, i love whm, blu and bst a lot but not doing the blu mythic (have almace already) so just those 2 left, leading to aymur right now.
I saw the bonus for the pet @lv90 aymur and its really great, making me look more forward this instead of yag.
thanks for the feedback!
