Zodiac Weapon: 9 books quest need adjustment

Greeting FF14 Dev team,

As we already know that the game is 11 years old now, and I'm glad to be here even just about almost 2 years. There might be many problem that game have to change, fix, or adjust from time to time and today I want to talk about Zodiac Relic Weapons

In ARR weapon relic quest, are pretty much the most frustrated, annoyed, and most time consuming in the game, even now. I'm pretty much do all relic the game already (Anima, Eureka, Resistance) and still my opinion is still Zodiac is the most frustrate relic to do in the game. It's because of the 9 Books Process.

The cost and most part process itself, each of them are pretty simple BUT!! BIG BUT, FATEs clear....OMG this one is the hell from most of all the process that you can think of, and because of FATEs clear most of players don't want to do Zodiac Relic because of this.

FATEs are locked by it time, when it finished/fail/reset which pretty much random for most of us player. It's annoyed and frustrated so much that you have to wait for long period of time at the location until the FATE you need to complete is up. Sometimes is 30mins, but can raise up to 2 hrs (no joke) 2 Hours of waiting for "A FATE", Seriously!?

Please, dev team I wont ask much from you, considering change/adjust it for better experience, for all players. It's tied to it stat of the book that give us, right? 9>>4 Books is look pretty sweet spot for me 4 Stats, 1 book per stat = 4 book to complete, Tome cost are the same as before by multiple it up. So player have to complete 12 FATEs, the time to complete each fate still depend on when or lucky we are to get it in time or not we cant argue it anymore because it now just 4 books not 9.

I hope that you take this feedback of mine to your team and make consideration. I love some of Zodiac Weapon Design and I know some player want to have it as they Weapon glam as well. But It's too painful to do it. Let's make it better process so we can have nice Zodiac glam to see and use in-game every now and then.

Thank you for your hard work.

i like this idea i really thing that currently the time it takes to create and complete an zodiac relic is too long compared to the rest of the relics. Another thing that I think would be a very good idea is to update the quest for the zodiac weapons and that of the other expansions, adding the missing weapons such as in the case of a realm reborn, the quests that could be added would be for the samurai, machinist, dancer, astrologer, dark knight, reaper weapons and the other classes and same thing for the other expansions

If you want to "not wait at FATE X's spawn point till it spawns", then you should be clearing all the FATEs in the zone.... You are doing it wrong if you are parking idle waiting for a certain FATE.
Only a certain amount of FATEs can spawn in a zone at a given time, if you keep clearing the FATEs that are spawned, it forces new FATEs to spawn faster, which in turn increases the chances the FATE you want pops and will do so sooner.
This is also important if the FATE you need is a "linked FATE", as in it can only spawn if the other FATE(s) it is linked to are not spawned.

When I did the books for my ARR relics, I burned through FATEs as fast as I could and at no point did it take more than 25 minutes tops for the FATE I needed to spawn, most happened after just a few minutes.
Even with down-syncing to the FATE, I could still solo clear most in less than 4 minutes as a Bard + my Chocobo..... Even faster if I changed to Blue Mage.
And as a bonus, I was making GC seal and Chocobo EXP, plus the Gil.
