Atma book FATE "Giant Seps" is not part of normal FATE rotation, and will not being

Wouldn't say I'm defending them, but it was fun, I had a great LS, 98% JP 2% NA. Everyone was friendly, great system for loot. When I went to Japan with friends, we visited them, they even treated us to Dinner and kareoke

Seps was the most challenging FATE I do agree... Prepare for your other 8 books

900 enemies, 27 dungeons, 27 FATEs, 27 Leves (total)

You can complete in any order.
Leave mobs til the end. They are your time filler.
FATEs you cannot control, the rest is at your pace.

Hunting FATEs are priority. Kill a set of mobs, tele back, check on the location. Cycle through what you need to complete, I can't stress that enough.

We can hold 16 Leves, your leves/gc leves are mainly from Whiteburn(sp?), Bluefog, and Mor Dhona. Do the leves, do not accpet reward. Look up the books and see which Leves you need... 16 of 24 Leves completed is good with me.

Its a lot to do with luck, but theres other stuff you can do.

I just killed Seps after waiting 2 hours. And I got the seals and gil but no credit in my book. it's the last thing I need to do in my book too. Really uncool.

Only gold counts i think

Sitting in Outer La Noscea for about an hour now.

The FATE "Miner in the Mirror" appeared at least 5 times.

The FATE "Make It Rain" has yet to appear.

After spending 40+ game hours getting all 12 atma, SE makes us wait hours for the required FATEs for our books? What in Nophica's teats is this?

It classic SE they are very insecure about the game they make and force us to play along periods,i dont know why they even have soldiery limits if the game is good we will play if not we go play something else not to mention all the special treatment that the JP players get they can info Accurate info unlike what we got on this thread if there is a wait time for the fate or respawn timer he should of said that. I was there one hour thirty mins no pop and i cleared every fate around me in that time this si my first and last post im done with you SE not buying anything u make ill let u screw the people who didnt play FFXI and my ending Phrase to you SE THERE ARE FOUR LIGHTS

pls uninstall

It popped after around 2 hours and 30 minutes of waiting. xb So I guess I was lucky. xb

ridiculous wait time for this fate

glad i have the luxury of not having a life to get it done

It may just be conicidence but I read on Reddit to kill dragonflies near SV and it will pop. I farmed maybe 10 and it did spawn. Maybe because Seps is a dragonfly u kill a bunch of his brethren and he comes out, maybe I just got lucky.

I've done that more than a few times. and i did it within 10 minutes of a SEPS ending too.

I've been leveling a Ninja (what? Really, no one does that.) and I saw Seps pop at least 4 times in one day. I don't know if they changed the spawn rate or people were farming dragonflies, but whatever changed worked.

FATEs related to relics that had slow pops, have been increased apparently.

http://www.gamerheadlines.com/2014/0...l-fantasy-xiv/

Whether RNG or not still, Doing my first set of Atma books and while we all know FATEs are the one to get done first, I have been able to complete them at roughly the same rate as Enemies/Dungeons/Leves, a couple in fact had popped right in front of me after coming out of DF.

Wow I guess I am not the only player having problem with the fate giant seps. Well here I am waiting for 2 weeks 4 hours a day. Never popped up. A bug report led mere hear.

I just confirmed. Killing all the Dragonflies in the area two or three times spawns Giant Seps.

I, and several other people have been farming the fates an mobs in the immediate area of Giant Seps, and it has not popped. I dont think the Dragonflies have any bearing on the fate.

Currently waiting for this fate to pop for 2 hour.. This is ridiculous. It's like im being hand cuffed to my PC waiting for the right time to break free. =/
I really suggest SE do something about this certain FATE spawn time.

Imagine waiting on this 1 fate for 3 hours straight, then doing fates on the side as you wait....and people take down the fate before you get there...(4 hours)....then waiting another 4 hours and no spawn. With all the advice from people on how to spawn this, or to take down other fates while you wait...MAKES NO SENSE, because there will be others downing the fate before you get to it. Why am I waiting 8+ hours for 1 fate for 1 book out of 9 books for a weapon that is weaker then the one I am wearing. This fate should be readily available just as other fates are, or atleast not 8 HOURS wait time to get it. If there is a forced spawn, we should have this information. 8 Hours......8 Hours, I can understand 2, this has to be fixed. Imagine a new person just made 50 doing this, they will quit the game.

Please fix this.

Why cant the book simply be used to activate the fates, would be so much easier, go to the fate spot, right click use book to spawn fate, do fate and win win for everyone..

Plz SE tell me fates can be summoned? How hard can it be to code a fate summon item..

So while I was waiting for the fate to spawn, I did some looking around. A bunch of people in the comments of XIVDB were saying how you need to kill the nearest dragonfly to Stone Vigil for the fate to spawn. I went and did that and the fate spawned almost instantly. Thanks to this I ended up waiting no more than 10 minutes XD

This could be a coincidence seeing as many of you guys have reported cleaning the mobs and it still not spawning, but it worked for me so I figured I'd share.

I was waiting for this fate a couple of days ago, I was the only one there waiting, and I wasn't killing anything. It spawned within 30 mins. Rng is rng

Please fix the spawn rate of FATES tied to books, or give us a way to trigger the FATE if we need it for our book. There should never be more than a 30-45 minute timer on any mechanic necessary for progression like this. It's total BS.

In spite of it all isn't showing up for me in Central Shroud either. I've waited 3 hours for 3 consecutive weeks before logging off. It's getting annoying. Can't even complete my first book because of it.

Really? I'm always seeing people going "Hold Giant Seps please" when entering Cortheas. http://xivdb.com/?fate/480/Giant-Seps

The timing has something to do with the amount of simultaneous FATE's running. If there are no FATE parties running around completing them, then the FATE cycles are slower, as every FATE takes 15 minutes to time out. Plus I also find that the FATE's seem to prefer spawning on top of players already in the area. So if someone isn't doing something the area, the FATE may take longer to spawn by waiting for a spawn schedule. Ever notice how certain FATE's are constantly showing up, while other FATE's only show up after certain other FATE's have been defeated?

There's another one of these in Southern Thanalan, by the bridge near Qarn. Can't remember its name but I had to wait 3+ hours for both that one and Giant Seps, which seems silly. People who want to catch up on their relics at this point will have their progress massively impeded by stuff like this.

Heroes of the 2nd

it could just be your timing, you may be logging in during the day when there is little to no activity. That fate seems to show up a fair bit on zodiac server but the thing is not many are doing it unless atma grinders are.

I seriously haven't had to wait more than 15-20 minutes for either of these fates since they were changed.

Can confirm, 3 years on, that this FATE still doesn't spawn as commonly as the others.

Probably worth looking into.

in 2018 I still camped for 4 hours for this fate........ rip

Why are you camping when the answer was already given, and it's to go do other FATEs.

Only so many FATEs are active on a map at one time, so camping around doing nothing isn't going to make what you want appear.

Welcome to 2019 and this is still an issue.
I did every Fate I could while I was waiting for Giant Seps to pop but it never happened.
Saw basically every other Fate on that map multiple times.
This is ridiculous.

not to necro a thread but i just did giant seps. I did kill all the dragonflies. After a few mins front and center poped i did that and shortly afterwards giant seps poped. So it may be linked to the fate front and center that poped right outside of whitburn or killing dragonflies i don't know it is something to go off of.

I can another data point to this. I may have just gotten lucky, but I went back there and killed dragonflies and the fate popped. I didn't note any other fates in particular. I also killed some of the ice sprites. In my case, I'm sure I didn't kill more than 10-15 dragonflies and half a dozen ice sprites. My job was at level 53.

having finally finished my zodiac weapon I can say without a doubt that even with the changes se made to make the whole thing "easier" that the easiest of all the weapons was my Atma Weapon. I cant tell you the number of times I almost outright quit in the middle of the Zodiac line the biggest step stopping me was the need for crafted items that only happen via rng and sell for a fortune on the mb.

i really would like for them to get rid of those crafted mats for the last stages of the Relic before it turns to the Zodiac Relic. It is still keeping me from finishing my BLM relic
