Verdha picked up another carbontwine last night for MNK iLvl 118, and finished up all the Tier III Alex infuses and applied the three IVs she's been saving. I can't believe Tier IV infuses started so early -- I was going to carry all those IIIs down into the 20-30% chance range but that isn't an option. That means it's going to be grind, grind, GRIND on the spiritbonding because at 600k+ a pop those IVs aren't going to buy themselves.
Seriously, 6m gil to finish this stage? I don't make a lot of gil, this is going to be an awesome pain to finish this stage. Makes me nostalgic for the pre-nerf Atmas, a month in East Shroud is miniscule compared with what it will take me to get those IVs. Grinding lights will be such a relief, especially since I can actually do it on the job the relic is for instead of whatever-spirit-bonds-fastest (hi, WHM!), and there can actually be some variety involved in the process.
(Yeah, I don't make gil easily. I know that makes me unusual. My business sense and luck sucks and I know it (last time I SOLD a car I talked the price UP $200) so I stick with moderate steady incomes that pay for my upkeep and not a whole lot more -- I spend a lot of it on HQ Apkallu Omlettes and HQ Pineapple Juice.)
On the Balmung hand, Waenlona finished off with THM15, not bad progress at all. More on that in the next thread.

It is totally acceptable to not min/max your relic. You know, build a Crit/Det/Acc model. I three-statted both my relics. This way you never have to touch IV materia. I find it truly hard to justify paying 600k for the equivalent of 1/3 of 1 dex, which equals 1/27 of one point of weapon damage. That is just plain silly. I'll pump that into a 300 gil bite of accuracy instead, and that way I'm versatile later on and don't have to rely on gear as much for stat-capping coil accuracy.
