Hey folks,

For subsequent mythic weapons, do the assaults have to be completed twice again or just once?

No. You have to do the 50 assults to get captian rank then you have to do the 50 assults for the mythic. If you change weapons on what you wanna do for mythic, then you must do 50 assults all over again.

you get the books again from paparoon for each subsequent mythic.
So each one once again by marking them at the rune of release in the assault as usual

Okay so just once (50 assaults) instead of redoing all of them like we did for the first time.

Thanks!

You didnt do them 2x the first time, and you dont lose captain rank so there is no reason why you would even think you would need to do them 2x.

you did 50 to get captain, then you had books you handed in. You were already captain, and didnt lose your rank, and never had to redo the rank up quests.

there were no books the 'first 50' assaults you did, the books are strictly part of the mythic. There were no rank ups the second 50 you did.



In short for repeats:
Stage 1 random crap/kills (this is the only part you get to skip on 2nd/3rd mythics)
Stage 2 you do 50 assaults, 150k nyzul tokens, 100k ichor, 30k alex
stage 3-4 znm+ fight

No, you not assaultx50 times, all assaults again and trade book for each assault. As in same as doing Captain rank and trade the book.

I'm honestly not sure what you're going on about. No matter how you spin it, you have to do assaults twice before you acquire your first mythic - all 50 to get Captain and another 50 in order to turn in the Ledgers.

You only have to redo 50 assaults, the 100k ichor, 150 tokens. You just trade new weap to dude by naji, he'll give back previous weap. Then you talk to naji to get cs for the 8 titles part of mission, which you dont have to redo. Naji will send you to the rat in nash for cs and books.


Make sure you get final cs @ imperial gate to finish final cs of previous mythic or you can't start 2nd mythic.

You are making it sound like you had to do 100 assaults for your first mythic, when you cant even get the quest to start the mythic until after you have done 50 assaults.

You have to do 50 as a pre req for all mythics, then 50 per mythic.


Your question was if you had to do 100 assaults for each mythic, and I am just trying to explain that you didnt do 100 assaults for your first mythic, you did 50 (with rank ups, no books) to unlock the quest, then 50 (with books) as part of the actual quest.

So there really is no logic in asking if you have to do 100 assaults, because if you paid any attention at all to the quest you would already know the answer.

Anyway, thanks for the info guys, and good point Jsmooth on making sure the quest was completed. I'm pretty sure I got my final CS's but I'll double check.

You answer your own question. Dustin's reply was plenty relevant.

apparently he wasn't sure if he had to redo captain rank, or thought he lost it? not sure.

He did 100 assaults first time in general to get his first mythic, It's not an unreasonable question.

dustinfoley, your not really helping, so I dont know why you post a 2nd time with the exact same comment.....

Oops, you're absolutely right! I stand corrected and didn't realize I did indeed answer my own question.

My bad Dustin.

One hour a day for one year. No lives sacrificed.

Anyone can do it if they have patience, including casual players.

I made my Nirvana in 7 months. Others I'm sure have finished in half the time, but I farmed the majority of my Alex and just kind of took my time on it. I did set a goal of having it done by Christmas of this year, but I finished on Thanksgiving Day instead.

I'm going to make Yagrush for my 2nd mythic and hope to have it done in much less time than it took the first time around.

2nd one is a breeze compared to the 1st. Can do 2nd in 60-65 days if super motivated!

Not gonna be rude, but 10-15 days for nyzul is a bit of a stretch. I would say 75 days per mythic is more reasonable even for the uber/hardcore people.

At best you can do it in 18 days of nyzul where you average 25 floors a run (start at 96, with 3 members and get 25+ floors). This also assumes you have someone starting at floor 96 for you, and you personally never have to spend tokens to start there. In all of my 3 man grinding days in nyzul, never have i gotten 25 floors. Not sayings its not possible, but just not likely. Even less likely to get it 18 days in a row with a 3 man crew.

A more realistic nyzul is; 3 members, averaging 15-20 floors a day (6-8k a day). Bad lamp floors mean some days youll get as low as 10-12 floors, some days youll get 22-25. From my personal experience 15-16 is pretty average. Which is 25 days (max) to finish nyzul + 50 days for assaults (assuming you dont fail any).

Our group does 10k tokens on average. If horrible luck on 5 lamp floors then it can dip to 7-8k, and the rare 14k run if easy lamp floors. 75 days is prob more realistic, but 65 is very doable, and has been done often.

if you're doing it in 65 days, that means you are getting 10k tokens (25 floors completed) on average per run. I smell cupper.

Didnt want to call anyone out, but yeah, you arent playing fair if your getting 10k+ tokens a run in a 3 man group.

who said 3 man group? I know of groups that average higher, but I dont need to assume they cheat because they do better token runs then the groups I've had :)

Well 3 man groups = max tokens per floor.

If you are doing a

6 man group 10k token run, you are doing 30+ floors (cupper)
4 man 10k token run 27-29 floors (still cupper)
3 man 10k token run 25 floors (cupper if its regular basis, otherwise possible if supper lucky on floors)

15-20 is a legit number for a 3 man group, 25 is a super lucky, no lamp, lots of kill 1 enemy floors where you find the 1 enemy very fast. A 4 man group might get 18-25 more regularly, but then they are getting 10k per run.

Just saying...
