If you limit yourself to 1 Main Story Roulette, 1 Low Level, and 1 CT a day...that's 600 Phil...enough for any accessory, any visible piece other than body/legs or combos. That's about 3-4 hours hopefully depending on what job and competency of the group (Yeah you can do this in 2 hours, but I'm being conservative).

Now I'm new to coil, so forgive me if I don't have proper expectations...but that would take 12 runs of coil to meet. At say 30m a run, that's 6 hours. At 20m a run, that's still 4 hours. This all assumes you have a good enough group that even with changes you can cruise through, and no wait time between runs or lfg

I think you'll see a drastically easier time, but for myself and my FC folks who are non-legacy, none of us have full relic, I don't think anyone has Allegen gear either. However most of us when we get new jobs to 50 has a full DL set waiting there from CT and other stuff adding tomes up. I don't think we'll be able to say anywhere near the same about Myth...I think it'll be something to work towards, and a very attainable goal, but unless they increase the amount of tomes you get per run, I'm not sure it'll be as easy as "DL Tier" was to attain.

My 2 gil :p


The assumption you are making here is that the philo/myth acquisition rate will be 1:1 from 2.1 to 2.2.

The primary question here is why wouldn't they make myth more easily obtainable?

So I've been thinking and maybe I'm just not seeing something right. If coil is farmable via DF, easier, and myth cap is dropped...why would you bother farming CT any more even if the lockout there was gone too?

Am I just not getting it?!?

Thanks :)



dont ask this question I pretty much did the same thing and got rated down

For any group that is able to farm coil after both the lockout is removed and the content is made easier, players will be able to farm i90 equipment drops from the dungeon while at the same time collecting mythology tomes to get even more i90 equipment. Considering that these turns can be downed in mere minutes now and it's only going to get easier, seeing players fill out a full i90 set in no time at all wouldn't be entirely unexpected.

Also, I think it's worth noting that Darklight equipment was quickly seen as a "standard" even before CT or duty roulette were introduced, and before people were picking up hundreds of philosophy in a single run. People just ran story dungeons until they got all the equipment they wanted, and they didn't even have i70 gear dropping from the dungeon every run like people will have with i90 gear after 2.2.
