Again, as I stated, it allows you to start towards the Animus, however, it feels rather unrewarding when it jumps 10 item levels... And then you must proceed to gather the myth, and then work on the part that is actually enjoyable, the books. It all feels like it is for nothing merely because the Atma feels so... lackluster. But I digress.

I think you mean robe, crown is from getting 50 on all classes.

After running this areas very low level fates for 10+ hours, I've yet to get an Atma of the ram. Its so boring my head hurts and it seems like I'm never going to get one. I would just like a cap for the number of fates because anything over 100 is just stupid. I can grind with the best of them but they need to have a mercy drop in place so nobody ends up running 500 fates in the same area. Just saying, after 100 there is no enjoyment left and it is a game after all....

We gonna all end up with a burnout syndrome!

SE really should rethink their strategy, just look how popular CT was and still is and have a look how many are trying to get the relic upgrades instead of coil groups...
So many relying on the 3rd pillar but all they get is a slap in their face...

doing fates in upper la noscea is annoying as hell :( , having to travel to each side by ship :(

The relic atma is not even worth it, allagan weapons from t5 are still stronger until you can increase the relic weapon damage.

Deeply unhappy about this development to be honest. I've spent hours grinding FATEs this evening, an activity I've always found to be achingly boring (thank you for offering other ways to level secondary classes in 2.1!). And I have nothing to show for it. I could have spent the evening doing something far less boring and achieved exactly the same amount of progression on the Atma quest.

FFXIV has generally steered clear of annoying, frustrating content like this. Now it's killing my desire to play the game. It's not challenging or difficult, just tedious and unrewarding. Please reconsider the brutal RNG nature of this grind.

1.x returns :)
I wonder if SE changes their path before same happens as in 1.x ...
If I dont know we are already in 2.2, I would think your post comes from 1.x... you know: in 1.x RNG was the evil mastermind and World-Boss, no one ever have beaten... once we had little hopes when skirmish was released, but then vanished in 2.0...

20 hours and no atma...weee

More pointless grinding to keep people subbed.
Classic Technique.
