Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIV! (Zodiac Weapons)

Will Novus have a 2 stage power up sequence similar to Atma to Animus?

There will be changes to the percentage of drop rate of atma for all people casual or less that are stopped at 80 hours of brainless Fate grinding? Will increase the mithology provided by the istances?

Personal opinion (but widely supported by most of the community FFXIV ) : The quest atma is the worst thing I've personally ever seen on a mmorpg. Being forced to farm for hours to pick up a weapon is really ridiculous, 0 skill, and just farm farm farm that makes the game frustrating to a normal person who works during the day.

Completely agree with you.

I personally think the atma grind was fine how it is probably one of the few. Zodiac weapons are not the best in the game - Lev weapon with mirror is on par with animus(for people who want to grind a different way for a top tier weapon) turn 5 weapons are better than zenith and turn 9 aka 2nd coil turn 4 weapons is better than animus.

Not everyone has to upgrade there relic if they don't want to it was made to be another alternative which they upgrade as content goes along but they didn't want everyone to be running around with the same weapon so they opened up different ways to get top tier weapons and making animus a grind.

Now for the actual question's.

With the upcoming increased mythology tomes from dungeons will the book prices stay the same or will they also be decreased some what?

The tasks within the book I found to be really fun especially the monster kills and the dungeons however can the have to be alive when boss dies condition be removed as it is unfair to have to a dungeon multiple times if you die when boss gets downed?

I have never been a fan of the fate system and feel they are not worth the time or effort at all and there are some fates within the book that have very long spawn times and I find it hard to get help for some of the hard ones and there impossible to clear without a group what is going to be done to address this?

When will we be able to dye the gear from the new dungeons and hard mode dungeons?

Will there be a change in the difficulty level of the 2nd coil as of Bahamut (t6-t9)? Most FC's that do raid might only be past turn6 while the elite FC's are getting much closer to be being completely geared out as they have downed the last turn several times already. This creates a gap between players for the next 6 months or so until the next part of coil comes out which just makes players who haven't progressed still not any further and those that have cleared all turns will have nothing to do within a 6week timeframe.

When will we see an armor preview system?

When will newly created characters be able to select the new hairstyles added by the aesthetician?

instead of 4 posts, just edit one, and go to the right topic for your questions. this is a thread for zodiac weps.
OT:it was said the scrolls for novus could be obtained various ways. will those ways also include rng like atma?
