Progress update

I have completed more of the same in the past few days regarding my Mythic and Relic farming.

I was fortunate to have a double linen drop yesterday morning in SSR2. Unfortunately between both purses I only got 114 Alex.

That's the nature of the beast sometimes I know. Still I turned in over 300 Alex at the time so anytime I can put away 1% or better of the required Alexandrite then that's fine.

In the afternoon, I went on a couple of Nyzul runs and unfortunately did not get a whole lot of Alexandrite (I think like 17 only), but I continue to get 1k-2k tokens per run. The Amalric feet have helped in here as well, allowing me to sometimes one-shot the monsters with Subduction.

Solo I still set my destination to Floor 60 as I can reliably reach it pretty much every run. I may try another attempt at Floor 80 solo just to see if I can pull it off.

Yesterday I got to kill my first Reisenjima NM with a LS mate. We duo'd Selkit with trusts and although we did not succeed on the first attempt, we altered our strategy just a bit and succeeded on the second attempt. He wanted the Merlinic and offered me the Herculean, but neither dropped.

I did get some stones though and stored them in Norg for future use.

This morning I did some more VW with my LS mate who is working on his Almace i119. He is very close to having enough pouches and plates. He has spammed this event since the campaign started and has been dualboxing his brother's account. He offered me a trade if I were to farm VW and get some pouches and riftcinders that he would in exchange farm me two stacks of Alexandrite after the campaign. I think I am going to take him up on this offer, but before that I have to get my stratum abyssites up to level. Still, this could be fun to do with a stack or five of phase displacers. And perhaps I'll end up with Ogiers' stuff for some idle refresh on my PLD.

Burtgang Progress: 6430/30000 Alexandrite, and 79412/150000 Nyzul tokens

Aegis Progress: Stage 4 pending, 4/100 M. Silverpiece

I have decided to pretty much purchase every Silverpiece as I get the gil to do so. My wallet is pretty empty right now, but I know that having an Aegis in my inventory will enhance my versatility in parties but also while solo.

I do plan on seeing what I can do about Arch Dynamis Lord. I think that with my BLU if I were to get it up to the 1200 JP level, I could possibly use Azure Lore and SC it to the ground before it splits. Not only do I need Umbral Marrows for Aegis, but I also need them for uncursing a few +1 pieces I have.

In addition to farming Alexandrite, doing VW during campaign, and accruing currency, I also need to dedicate some time to CP. On BLU this is no problem. I plan on taking full advantage of Gain XP on Sunday to get some CP as well as capping sparks and accolades for more gil.
