At the very least, mob levels across zones should net the same exact amount of Segments, because why would a player fight a monster of the same strength in a lower zone for less segments when that monster in C gives like 10 more points and it's just as strong?

Because they get a scale instead of a wing and that's totally better

Yeah that's the unintended side effect of inconsistent segment rewards per zone. There is no interest in lower zones unless for MM or gil (if you can convince someone to join for these). If the points were based truly on mob levels, you would see more of an equalizing among the 3 mats. Hides/Scales might still come out higher since there's so many more useful augmentable accessories from AB unity mobs vs C

Farming A and B enough times to fully augment all the relevant multi-job Unity NM accessories will net you about 1M segments without ever touching C.

How do I know? Because I've done it.

Granted it takes about 4-5 months, not daily.

Hmm.
Let's take Byrth's numbers as an example

I've been doing B while I build towards enough aurums to floor their cost. I do something like 3 halos and a few monster group and popped an aurum, 2 chests, and 2 coffers this morning. Maybe got 500 points at the exit? (update: 745 today)

The bonus for Otherworldly Vortex is 25% of Segments earned. So in Byrth's example he got
(745 x5) 3725 Segments in a B run.
Let's just assume he was slow, because he is dual boxing, focusing on Moogle Mastery and not necessarily max kill speed, so his segments could be higher than that if he straight killed only Nostos and Agons.

Bump it to 5k (being generous), and spread it over the course of 5 months (152 days or so), thats 760,000 Segments of farming Sheol B exclusively for 5 months straight, daily. Not close to 1m. If you take any of these days and go into Sheol A (less segments), your numbers go down.

You would have to earn somewhere around ~6580 Segments per day (between Sheol A/B) to reach 1 million segments in 5 months.

Not saying I don't believe you, but even going off of your past numbers

Most my segs are from capping Moogle mastery, and have done a lot more runs of A and B than I have done runs of C.

Lakshmi.Buukki said: »
Have any of you suggesting doing A/B instead of C ever actually done these zones for Segments?

Yes, Buukii. I had some 1.2m segs banked last time I checked, most from A/B. A will net 1.5-2k on average, B 4k. It's not much, but if you do not do a run one day, you get 0.

Something > 0.

So your numbers are around 4k/ B run (which is quite close to Byrth's number of 3725). If we take your own numbers at face value, there's no way you can hit 1m Segments in 5 months doing Sheol B daily (and you said you don't have to go daily). Either you are underselling how quick you got to 1m (or even at all), how many segments you got per run, or that you were in fact going daily. Or maybe it took longer, like 7-8 months. But your numbers don't add up to what you just said.

Fwiw I got MM45 ages ago and only accumulated about 250k segs while doing it.

Now I'm flooring aurum costs. It's different!!

Also yeah, I'm running at normal speed triboxing and focusing on halos even when it doesn't make sense for segs because 10 is a lot of points. Typically I do halo on 1, halo on 6, halo on 5, kill the good groups I've seen, pop chests, exit. I do use Hoxne MNK as my DD, but I don't have a WHM (GEO+COR), so I can't comfortably pull all the monsters on the high floors.

I keep getting Aurums that just drop 3 Hides. Not boxes, just Hides. It's payback from all the keying I did.

3 Large Lustreless Hide Boxes in an Aurum is a myth, you'll never see it.

I don't remember how long it took tbh. 6 months? I didn't actually count.

I did in fact have >1M segs at the end of it.

Not saying a newbie or true solo person can do the same in the same amount of time.

But you will end up with a lot of segs - hundreds of thousands - if you actually farm all your scales and hides, no question about it.

And yes, mostly clearing halos not regular mobs. Goal was to get izzat to pop chests not get segs.

I didn't go daily, there were a lot of days I went twice though from banking (if I remembered).

I'm cheap af, no way I'm buying scales or hides.

yeah, different because it's even more of a pain in the butt
