Zodiac Weapon Quest

Does anyone happen to know where the FATE's for this quest happen to be?

You can do any FATE in the zones listed in the quest log as long as you have your relic+1 equipped.

Central Thanalan: Atma of the Maiden
Southern Thanalan: Atma of the the Scorpion
Upper La Noscea: Atma of the Water-bearer
East Shroud: Atma of the Goat
Eastern Thanalan: Atma of the Bull
Central La Noscea: Atma of the Ram
Western Thanalan: Atma of the Twins
Outer La Noscea: Atma of the Lion
Lower La Noscea: Atma of the Fish
North Shroud: Atma of the Archer
Central Thanalan: Atma of the Scales
Western La Noscea: Atma of the Crab

According to FC/LS friends, the items are random drop, you need your Zenith weapon (Relic+1) equipped while participating the fate

my guess is the fate that gives you the items may have some relation to the monster of that fate.. such as the fate has scorpions give you Atma of the the Scorpion....

Can someone please provide the information for the name/monster/boss of the fate that they get the drops from

Thanks!

Is it monster drop or given as fate rewards?

Fate rewards, some people got it with silver medal, not sure about bronze

Something isn't clear about this zodiac weapon quest.

Did I read correctly that after you get your 12 atmas, the resulting weapon is pretty much identical to the Zenith weapon? It is only after you buy the "trial books" that it is really upgraded to something better?

Yes. You grind a ton of fates for an i100 relic with i90 stats. :( The second upgrade has better stats.

I don't know what in the heck they are doing with this. This seems pretty stupid to me, how can you upgrade the iLv and not give it better stats? This is probably not going to take that long to get all 12 of these....we will just not get much else done while we are off screwing around doing stupid a$$ FATES to try and get a stupid item drop. I spent a lot time last night(morning) trying to get just one of these darn things in the Northern Shroud too no avail. I ended up quitting and doing the Main Story line instead so I can fight Leviathan sometime soon.

I really don't like this for Relic Quest design...they could have come up with something better than this. Why have RNG involved with a Relic Quest...they just want to delay everyone artificially again. How about just make the quest longer but at least you can do it with effort put in. With this method you can put in the effort and just be unlucky and not get your Relic...that sucks.

So can we get all 9 books this current patch and upgrade to animus?

Maiden is Central Thanalan according to the quest...interestingly enough I was wondering why Central Thanalan was the ONLY one listed twice, is this why? Typo in the quest?

Yep, its a typo.

Yes. Atma of the Maiden is in Central Shroud not Central Thanalan.

Tyvm...fun times

How about the "Central" La Noscea....lmao

2 typos in one quest....and quite an important quest at that...

Yep but you have to farm the 12 atma pieces for EACH relic you want to upgrade, contrary to what some other people have stated without actually knowing it to be true...so yea...f**k those people who said that

After you get the 12 atma, what happens next? Is there another long grind?

I just got my Curtana Atma weapon. After acquiring the weapon you have to go to Mor Dhona and there you can buy books for 1500 mythology to further upgrade them. As for Paladins you can buy 7 books for the sword and 2 books for the shield.

Shield: there are 2 kinds of books, 1 for increasing strength (+2) and 1 for increasing vitality (+2). Completing both books yields you the Holy Shield Animus shield

Sword: The situation is similar to the shield, except that there are 4 different type of books for the 4 attributes. 2 books for strength, 2 for Accuracy, 2 for Vitality and 1 for parry. Completing all 7 books yields you Curtana Animus.

You can buy any book and complete them in any order you like, but you can only have one active book, you must complete all tasks before you can buy the next one.

I dont have 1500 mythology for the first book, so i dont know what tasks are required.

You defeat these certain mobs, complete this certain Fate, defeat this dungeon boss, etc. Friend has got 1 book for the Thyrus. Of course, you have to be wearing the weapon for the trial to count.

sigh, i would of rather have had atma drops from oh i don't know maybe EX Primal fights?
From time to time i do not mind fates but this i would say is not poor design just poor implementation
