Ok guys, been back for a couple weeks now, been trying to get as much accomplished as possible and I've gotten about as much done solo as I can see fit due to some lack of experience in the new shit and also re-learning a lot of new stuff on a steep curve here.

Those that have caught up with me know that I'm running with UnknownSoldiers, and they are a great group of guys/gals, however, the shell isn't nearly as active on EST times as I am. So does anyone currently run with a shell or group aimed at like 5-12 EST, that's constantly running missions/quests/NMs/VW/Dynamis/ect? Not looking to replace my shell, but bring some mutually beneficial assistance to others while still working on catching up myself!

I know there aren't any more big shells with lots of groups doing lots of things at the same time, but hopefully those of us recently returned can team up and get some of this shit knocked out before the expansion and everyone runs off to other stuff!! :-P
 
Talk to Bootz or Audino (Zaltana).
 
You're welcome to hang in WHC if you want. We don't organize much. More of a shell where we log on and see what everyones up to and join up doing whatever that way. We do abyssea NMs, xp, dynamis... just about all the stuff you mention. We're a shell full of old vets that just recently came back. Seems like you're in the same boat. Feel free to grab a pearl from myself, Foo, Raesvelg or Bootz
 
Didn't see your post. I was online and /sea'd for ya a couple times but must have missed you. I'll try tonight to catch ya!
 
Yeah kept looking for you guys, Raes was the only one I saw but he was in Aby at the time, wasn't in that much of a hurry lol. I'll be back on after 5:30 sometime today.
 
i can join to help; out when i can
 
i can use a pearl since i ride in the same boat. thanks in advance.
 
God, CoP so easy to finish these days.

Hardest part about Promathia was waiting for Ara to finish his CS before I killed it.
 
Should've got a shell off you the other day ... lol

mysticalone weren't you in that other shell which you saw me in :P

if you dropped it for the same reason as I did i'll laugh, bwahahahaha

How about ToAU? :P I've heard that doing ToAU stuff can still be annoying (or at least, getting mythic weapons takes a pretty consistent group).

The missions are pretty easy, though a few are structured so that they can be tricky to solo unless you have the right job/gear.

Ditto for the Assault missions, obviously. That and you need 3 to enter iirc lol.

Mythics cost 400 million gil. Unless you got a Cat's Eye in the Bonanza, I don't expect I'd bother.
 
Even then, even if you chose the best mythic for a DD, it's only marginally better than their relic counterparts. Even then, it's only better if 300TP Aftermath is consistently active.

Honestly, Mythics are for die hard perfectionists who are looking for a long quest line and to push their damage dealing efficiency to the highest level. Arguably some have more unique characteristics, looking at you Liberator/Yagrush/Death Penalty/etc, which are just that, efficiency to the highest level.

Besides all the gil and the quests, there's Gulool Ja Ja. People have been going crazy over it lately, the last of world spawn NMs whose pop patterns haven't been completely understood.
 
Ironically, that's one of the conditions I've actually completed for the Mythic chain.

400 million in gil? O.O why?

I'm still kinda confused how to convert the Vorpal Sword into a the Mythic Weapon Murglais or whatever :P I see only a quest to get death blossom by getting weapon skill points. After that? I have no idea how to convert it to its mythic weapon counter part (and then being able to even start the trial quests).

Well, you can look up the process of making a Mythic Weapon here.

The trial requirements are bad enough, but the actual cost comes in with the Alexandrites.

You need 30,000 of them.

Average price of a single Alexandrite in a bazaar is typically around 12,000 on the low end.

Which puts the price of a Mythic, on the low end, at 360,000,000 gil.

You can, of course, elect to farm your alexandrites. Assuming you went every day (bearing in mind that this means you're also having to do an assault every day so you don't run out of points), and got ~80 alexandrites per run (which I'm told is not unreasonable on the high end, assuming you get most or all of the alex's), then it'll only take you a year. About two hours a day, every day, for a year.
 
I've read that page, didn't really explain changing it to the mythic weapon :\ just who holds items, getting weapon skill points and such. And I thought getting the weapon skill points was just going around using the weapon skill on mobs that give exp. I missed entirely the quest lines needed for it o.o Derpy me for missing that bit >.>

Would be nice if SE changed it to where you can get into Assault without 3 people. Well I'll see what happens :P I'm not expecting any mythic weapon in the near future. And I don't mind working for it. But it'd be nice if I could at least solo it like you can relic weapons now (at least their lvl 75 versions and the earlier parts of empyrean, it makes sense to encourage social play for the weapons for later level versions).

Multi-boxing! Lord knows when it was possible to convert cruor to gil at a 1:2.5 ratio, my monthly payment was around $60. I finished funding Aegis in 11 days, before the goblin could even return my stage 4 shield.

Now the cash crop is selling Umbral Marrow from the Arch Dynamis Lord.

Pchan and Mdk low manned it so many times, they paid for their relic/empyrean weapons to finish the Afterglow trial.

Let's be nice and say Riftcinder cost 800k each(they don't, more like 1.5mil each), needing 3,000 of them will cost at a minimum 2,400,000,000g.

Umbral Marrow Afterglow trials are just as bad even with the price dropping to 11mil each. Needing 250 will cost a minimum of 2,750,000,000g.

It surprises me that more people don't farm Umbral Marrow. Any decent linkshell can net 4-8 per run as a wide average. It's like Tiamat pops and drops Herald's Gaiters everyday now, but in Dynamis - Xarcabard instead of Attohwa.

Just to put things in perspective.
 
Wait, you could trade cruor to gil? O.o
