Hi guys, I don't usually post stuff in forums, but i'd like to say this cause of what's happening with alexandrites. As a mythic owner i can say that it is well worth the effort. And even though i didn't pay more than 15k per alex, I did payed around 10k - 12k each. And to me, is a fare price when u realize that almost noone is doing salvage anymore and that gil is a lot more accesible now than ever.
Back pre-abyssea era ppl payed up to 5k per alex, but back there ppl didn't make as much gil as they do now and alex was more readily available than now. So, if you think about it, in an effort point of view is still the same. Back then it was hard to see ppl walking around with 20M - 50M gil. Now u see ppl with that amount of gil walking around and even more, without even spending time on farmming gil like it was done back in the days. So, my point is, in term of effort/amount of gil, is still the same. Olny thing is that alex is just not that much available anymore.
Another thing about mythic that most ppl might not realize yet, is that it was meant to be in stages. First u needed captain rank just to get started, then get kings tittles and then start on the alex part. Alexandrite part was meant to be collected after ppl completed that stage, that's why u don't see them stack like u see currency where u can trade 100 for one that was equal to that amount. Now u see a lot of ppl getting alexandrites BEFORE they even get captain rank or get king tittles, and by doing so they make it even harder for ppl that do have the other requirements to collect the alexandrite they need. I bet there is a lot of mules jut stacking alexandrite but not working on getting themself a captain rank. I know ppl say that is good to start collecting them as soon as possible, but wile u do so, at least do yourself a favor and work on getting the other quests done too.
I started collecting alexandrites around a year ago once i had captain rank and I went to do salvage almost every single day i could to collect them and not just spamming every bazaar I saw. Believe me, doing slavage for alex makes it a lot easier. The olny prob with that is that it means u gotta do the EFORT of actully working for the mythic and not just buy it like u can do with relics and even empys.
If you think the mythic u want is worth the effort, then work for it, get yourself some friends and do the pre-requisites and spam salvage. Don't expect to find 30k alexandrites in a bazaar waitting for you to buy them at a very cheap price when you are not willing to work your *** to get them. Ppl are used to do so little and get a lot that now whatever means doing something that actully requires effort and time, is just not fare to them. Don't expect SE to make everything in the game so easy for you to get just becuase they made an event (abyssea) that is that easy. U want easy stuff, stick with abyssea but don't start posting crap to SE to change events to make them easier just because u are not willing to do the effort to get the stuff from them.
If you actully want a mythic u'll hop on and work for it, not just expect that SE hand it over to you. Depending on what mythic u want, is worth the effort, believe me.
Also yes, PUP mythic will outdmg a Vere avarage MNK easily. The automaton can do as much dmg as master and ppl need to realize that the automaton's dmg is part of a PUP's job.
