I have had quite a few success to report in the past 2 days and 3 mornings of farming for my relic and mythic.
I continue to do Salvage and Neo Nyzul daily. The campaign has continued to give me some good items. Most of the weapons and armor have gone to the NPC, the ground, the AMAN reclaimer, or for Bayld in Adoulin. I did receive an Impatiens from a ??? Box +1 and that is on the Auction House at the moment. If it does not sell it's no big deal I will make use of it. I'd rather have to gil to buy currency for stage 5.
Speaking of Aegis, I finished getting the necessary currency on Friday. Since then, I have tried to farm Goublefaupe for my needed Attestation of Invulnerability. First, I went as pld/rdm so I can just go right to the tower, farm the drop, and kill. I went 0/4 before having to log off.
Then I went back and killed it a few more times using the same method. 0/3 for a total of 0/7.
I also noticed it was sometimes taking a while to get the pop item. I know that only Hydra Red Mage, Paladin, or Warrior drop it. There's only a couple by Goublefaupe's tower so I usually have to run south past the Yagudo to find more. Then once I do get the pop item, I have to go back. I decided to bring my blu/thf and use powders and oils to avoid unnecessary aggro as best I could.
Another session of get the pop kill Goublefaupe commenced...and I went 0/8 for a total of 0/15.
I'm not too worried because I know it'll be a while before I have the necessary Goldpiece for stage 5.
Back to Salvage, I continue to do my daily Arrapago Remnants II for about 120-150 Alexandrite per run as well as 2-3 Silver Sea Remnants II. I timed myself this morning in SSR2. If I skip the first two ramparts on floor 4 (the ones that pop the single gears) and clear the rest in two pass throughs (I skip most of the ramparts so I can open the door and get the rampart that pops NQ Dvergr, then go back for the ramparts I had skipped), I can finish the entire zone in 30 minutes. That's not bad considering I am getting 100-130 on average from SSR2.
With Neo Nyzul, I have been setting my destination to floor 80. I have yet to make it up there solo as I have not had the right combination of luck with layouts or objectives. Usually I can hit a 20, 40 or 60 boss on the way up. In one run this morning, I had an order lamp floor that had the lamps spread very far away from each other. That ate up much of my time and forced me to leave without any boss kills.
On Saturday morning, I teamed up with three ls mates for some neo nyzul and we got to floor 100 in one run, and 80 in the other (had to exit before 100 though). We also got 3 cotton purses and 1 linen. That plus the single you get from some NMs gave us a split of Alexandrite that was worth 48 for me.
My daily AR2 runs are typical. No surprises. Still have yet to get a Linen from a NQ boss in either zone.
As of this morning, I stand at 3674 Alexandrite turned in of the necessary 30k. That's not that bad considering I started farming the Salvage II zones 9 days ago. That means I am averaging about 400 Alexandrite per day. Given my schedule, that's pretty impressive. The grind will continue.
Neo Nyzul did provide me the other two T4 ZNM pops that I had needed. So when I get to that stage, I just have to go kill the T4s for the rare/ex pop items. That's a while away for sure.
There's enough things to do with Salvage, Nyzul, and Dynamis that it is pretty easy to predict what I am going to be doing when I am logged in.
Thanks for reading!
