This ^. Plus I have the Radz-at-Han Quenching Oil, 3 Thavnairian Mist, 64 Alexandrite (should have 75 by the 28th), and a full set of crafted/dungeon leveling gear from 1-49 (with both str and dex just in case). I would get the materia but I'm not sure which stats to go for yet... either det/acc or det/crit.

I already have my radz oil, 3mists, 12 atma, capped soldiery/myth, 75 alexandrite and a host of every materia type, allagan tomestone, 10 Rowena tokens, sand of time, and a large amount of green dungeon gear str/dex from 15-50. I think I am adequately prepared.

Done that :D

Also SBd gear running Fates for Materia to do the Novus part whilst farming Fates/dungeons. So got the 75 Materia too ^_^

Will be my 2nd Nexus and havn't spent 1 gil on Materia, but I'm patient enough to SB gear myself and sell the Materia I didn't want to come out with a very healthy profit.

More then doubled... So now it is like 10%?

Not sure I am actually amused.

I must be one of the unlucky. Every day since the quest was added to the game, I've been doing an average of half an hour of FATE grinding (as measured by one summons of my chocobo, the clock on which stops while I'm mounted, so it really only records the time I'm off her, fighting FATE monsters), and I still don't have a full set. My grumpypants say that "doubling the drop rate" means going from... let's see... two times nuttin'... carry the nuttin'... still leaves nuttin'.

I'm kind of super happy I had been holding off on getting Atma so far lol. Sometimes being lazy can pay off?

Just so you get late to the Novus party, when materias cost 500k+ :D

Not sure if people realize that animus is going to take a good 75 hours just to do the books (let alone buy them) and novus is going to take even longer. Nexus is another story.

100 mobs takes 2 hours no matter how you cut it. Three spawn mobs will see to that. Leves are 30 minutes. Fates seem to average around 4 hours. Dungeons seem to average 2 to 3 hours via duty finder. Even if you are somehow quick / lucky enough to knock a book out in 8 hours you're looking at 72 hours for all nine. Factor in purchasing the books and you're looking at something much worse than what the average atma phase looks like (roughly 25 to 30 hours).

If atma got you down - animus will drive you insane.
