Ichor feels like one of the easiest/relaxed things for Mythics.
Yes you have the 1hr gating and the "T3 room busy" gating (which realistically is an issue only on Asura) but I still find it waaaaay better than, say, Nyzul.
Ichor you're done in 2 mins and can afk or do other things.
Tokens are a pain if you don't have a mule (the 1900 points wasted at start to enter) and you have to do that content for 30 full mins. No gating, technically, but way more annoying and boring, if you ask me.


So yeah, Tokens is the worst part imho.

And of course it's gonna be awesome and not sellable, just to kick in the balls people who can't find Besieged happening when they're online.

Its both ichor and nyzul tokens really. Ichors slightly worse, especially when you have to fight to get in at the same time(asura problems) but they both suck and should be voucherable by now

Anyways, the worst part of a Mythic isnt the alex, its doing Nyzul for 150k tokens.

I know you''re talking about new/returning players, but I did farm at least 27,000 of my alex, exclusively from Ambuscade (one character, not alts or mules doing ambu cycles), and then bought the remaining ~3k. Just kept buying it every month and had no plans to make anything, but after seeing I had well over 20k, decided to make and finish a Carn. Not sure how long I was saving for (probably a good 10-12 months). But that's not normal, and no returning player would invest that kind of time into a mythic weapon.

I do agree that Mythics are unusually cumbersome, especially in the era of the game where they've made everything easier to obtain. They haven't touched Mythics*

It's more a community issue imo, when the populace is low and mostly full of people who have done all the stuff, whether it be botted, merc'd, or legit they set the expectation of what is the "standard" i.e. what you need to do anything as a brd

REMAs are supposed to take a few months, they were meant to be project weapons. But the community has this idea of them being entry level requirements depending on who you ask, this is wrong but its what gets spread around and becoming the accepted norm. And this continues to gear such as ody gear.

I dont think theyll ever directly lower the currency requirements, ambu seems to be their compromise with that, putting some of the more annoying non-sellable currencies into vouchers would be the next step id see them go for.

Shrink this model down and give it some stats.

That's typically where they toss them to now yeah, if not beseiged accos then whatever limbus currency is will have some probably, whether theyre any good or are just sange fodder(if anyone even uses that JA anymore) is another question

Coulda put a rema level shuriken on prime or aeonic but nooo

A new shuriken feels like it would be a pretty sensible addition to items obtained with the new Imperial Standing Accolades from Besieged. Maybe in future Besieged updates/tiers?

thanks

This does not ecziste

you got a new shuriken silly, the domain invasion shurikens.

There are more useful aeonics than mythics and they are 20x easier to get. It's not balanced.

Give this man a job at SquareEnix

I don't think the Rema process is too hard for new players.

From what I see, most people's first Rema is an aeonic they get through LS runs. Most LSs do these semi regularly and welcome new comers and people without existing remas.

The game is at a point where a core group of 4-6 can carry an entire alliance through an Aeonic climb.

If they want another rema after that they have an aeonic they can use to farm stuff for it.

Yea pretty much.

Total wishful thinking but we are so overdue for a new shuriken. A man can pray...

Copper Vouchers should convert into Nyzul and Einherjar currency.

One of the problems with XI is the massive gulf between players, someone in amazing gear, using gearswap and in a party that is super buffed views things differently to someone who is in mid tier gear and using trusts full time (and probably always will do)

Offhand 1k TP bonus weapons can be crap if you're not fully buffed and geared to make proper use of them, and a lot of people I see with them and that listen to this advice shouldn't be using them.

Regarding the 10% haste, certainly a solid stat, however, not one that thief or dancer struggles to find, making it much less useful. If it was 10% attack, then yes, hands down because both of these jobs struggle with attack, dancer less so than thief.

regarding the 1k tp vs 10% agl, I wonder if anyone has done tests on that yet to know one way or another.

regarding white damage, only applies to the main hand for empy AM, so multi attack would have more value than a low delay

just some numbers for you

twashtar/gleti would have a base delay of 376, with thief's innate DW, brings that to 263.2, so each swing gives you 75.56 tp or 13.2 attacks to get 1k tp

twashtar/cent has base delay of 362, DW brings that to 253.4 and ypu get 73.8 tp/hit needing 13.5 attacks

trash/air has 326, DW brings that to 228.2, granting 69.4 tp/hit requiring 14.4 attacks to get 1k.

None of this is accounting for haste, samba, and gear DW, or stp and multi attack. These are just raw numbers to work with.

Yeah, feels like it would still be:

Nyame for hybrids
Mpaca for Ten Zessho Savage Shun

So unless they put some completely new stats on AF head, a bit more WSD would only be appealing for Metsu, Hi, maybe Kamu?

Fast Blade II will never beat avg Black Halo, Savage and Expiacion from corresponding weapons, but all of those has very poor self SCs, so you could do very good damage with FBII > Savage > Light > CDC > Double Light for example. Tizona is hard to beat solo in general, because of MP recovery and how AM3 synergize with Malignance and how good Malignance is for solo.

P.S. I still think they are working long term on converting FFXI to an offline RPG game one day.

Mythic and Ergon requirements are *** dumb in 2025. Needing to redo all assaults is *** and should be removed, and halve the Einherjar points, Nyzul points, and Alex requirements.

Only losers that wasted their life building so many will rage, as if they would have done anything but make even more mythics if they cost half the requirements that they did back when they made them.

Imprompteurs can suck my *** too. I am not being coerced into doing menial tasks half a dozen times a day for 6 months to get Idris. This is like a humiliating, controlling, abusive relationship.

White dmg is pitiful 90% of the time compared to wsing harder unfortunately

A huge % of players are solo, giving away strong weapons (even if they are not BiS to the most well geared people) is a massive QoL bonus to people struggling. Boosting trusts is very much needed too. Hopefully Limbus is as good as it sounds, in terms of being more casual content for less geared and solo players as well as higher geared people.

The work they re doing on the group building chat channel sounds good too.

If they can make the game less soul destroying for solo players they will aid retention greatly.

Yeah it's great.

Dont be salty

No, it really doesn't

I honestly expected the ROEs to be monthly.
It would seriously encourage a lot of the less hardcore playerbase to do Aminon somewhat regularly.
