FATE "The Four Winds" Coerthas Central Highlands

This fate is horrible. It's impossible to kill all four bosses within the time limit in this dead zone.

i mobilized some of my fc mates for this one. Alone it's impossible jeah.

Do you have to win the FATE to get credit for the book? If so, that's really rough.

did this fate with 3 ppl's total including me , 1 attempt we failed , then fate delevel (get lower difficulty) , on 2nd pop we destroyed it with 7 min left XD

This is the one that's annoying because of the Stoneskin, right?
If so, it goes exponentially faster if you have a tank and a monk.
A WAR friend of mine and I were able to get through it a while back on my MNK and a healing chocobo, though we were cutting it close.

This fate is absolute trash. No one ever comes out to this area to even participate in it. This puts an absolute block on the atma book until you happen to get lucky enough for a couple people to come out and finish it. They either need to increase the timer on the fate or make each one have a quarter the health. What were you even thinking sticking 4 bosses in one fate with a 15min timer.

I need to complain on this fate too. This area is deserted, my 1st try was solo as a tank and only kill 1 boss. The second some poor faith black mage join me and we were only able to kill 3 bosses.

Now I can't progress with my atma book.... How many DPS I need to down the 4 bosses in 15 minutes?

3-4 people should be enough to beat all 4.

Same. Why is this FATE needed when the previous books are all soloable?

Friends, get some.
Or use the party finder.

I don't expect any of my friends to sit around and wait hours doing nothing. Trying to mobilize people depends on whether they'll be in an instance at the time. As for the party finder, I've had one up for a while now.

It's just kind of silly to have a FATE like this in an area that's always so barren.

Same problem, waiting 2 hours now.
Partyfinder open since 1 hour, nobody joins.
It´s my last book, but i don´t know how to finish.
Waiting alone for the fates is stupid enough, but tell people to wait with you...

I was in the area for my BRD relic quest when this FATE popped and I decided to help out because this is an MMO and people needed assistance.

However, there were at least 4/5 tanks also there hanging around waiting. It shouldn't be that hard to find some other people since the book will funnel players there...

3 days there on/off and still no close to being able to finish it , 90% of time im alone when it pops and even if there is ppl around ,not enough to being able to finish it. :(

im sorry for ppl trying to finish their animus when the playerbase is done with the books already

If your FC friends doesn't come to help you when they're not in duty, they're not your friends at all. My FC easily gives some assistance to beating the fate you require.

This Fate needs difficulty lowered or more time added to complete..

or just invite your fc/ls to come assist, this is a MMO, everything is not soloable
friends came out to mine.. and i went out for theirs, easy easy fate

trying to use pf, nobody else wants to do this fate... please, SE, make this a 30min fate, then I could just BARELY solo it with a chocobo companion.

I cannot agree more with this.

Btw I want to ask if anyone know what if you have switched job during the fate, does it only count the job you are in upon completion?

Anyway, I remember that relic questline is designed as solo-able, so I think SE should nerf this FATE as same as those FATE for unlocking CT.

just got the book with this one in it lol...

not looking forward to it. but ive been camped for 2 hrs and no spawn yet. hope it shows up after work

Yeah, this one's rough. If I'm in the area and I see someone shout for help with it, generally I'll run out. It's usually a close call. A few days ago we finished it with :03 remaining. Lmao.

Had it on my last book and was positevly surprised. I was there and so was another guy. 2 of us = 100% fail probability lol. 2 mates from my FC came to help and additionally, I used the chat and shouted for help. 2 minutes later there were like 15 people doing the FATE and we managed to complete it with half a minute of time left. That felt great and I said thanks to everybody. Next time I am in Coerthas and notice somebody shouts for this one, I will gladly be of service and give the kindness back I received.

For whm, I think if the whm can solo other 26fates, finding a good brd with 2 chocobo should be able to complete this fate in last minute. ^^;

I did this fate as a DRG and had a BRD join me after the first enemy went down. We cleared it with 10 seconds left to spare. Not solo-able, but definitely able to 2-man this fate.

While not soloable, I don't think it needs to be changed. Not sure about anyone else but I have added more people to my friends list during this animus quest than any other time. Between them and my fc, I have not had a problem finding people to help. For the 4 winds, it popped while I was finishing a dungeon. My fc knew I was trying for it and got a head start. When I got out, there were 2 bosses left and 6 fc mates taking them down. Feels good to be a part of that community and I look forward to helping them with it and any other content they need.

Just tried to do this fate three times today. Each time with a fail, it's unfortunate that even though the area had about 20 people at level 50 no one would help out with this one. I'm very close to completing all my Atma books just to hit this brick wall. SE really does need to look at this fate. So far I've been able to do all the fates solo, granted just by a hair with seconds to spare, I find this one a bit out of place with four bosses with massive health. But that's my rant on this fate, maybe fourth times a charm.

I agree with all of you. :(

I am unfortunately needing this FATE now. I could solo it if I had enough time. 15 minutes for 4 bosses is sort of ridiculous with how much health they have. Most people don't need this FATE anymore...

I wonder how long I will be stuck on this and won't be able to continue the book grind. :(

Just nerf the stoneskin lol
It's too strong and he re applies it every half min or so.
Impossible if you are
- soloing it
- a healer
- a tank
- probaby dps
Still impossible with 2 ppl
It's like you need 3-4 or so to complete it.
-._-. Stoneskin.. You are my best bud yet my worst nightmare.

Rumor has it the changes to FATE's in the 2.28 patch make this soloable with choco as long as there was no one at the previous spawn.

EDIT: Just soloed this with a balanced choco (was in healer mode the entire time) as a ilvl 98 whm. ~9:40 left on the fate timer after all 4 were dead. Just have to watch for links but I dealt with these easily holy bombing them.

I solo'd this as an i97 BLM in less than 4 minutes. The new changes really made things a lot easier.

^ second this
I soloed this fate with my chocobo (switching heal from healer stance to free stance) with my ilv94 Bard and had no problems.
Was this fate harder before?

Not harder but it took longer because of the bosses HP. Last patch helped with that it seems.

Oh sweet whew don't need to call out for help as a NINJA ?

This old post was made before Ninja added to the game ^^;

ilvl 129 Drg + DPS Chocobo + and odd potion here and there = 4 Rekt Bosses.

Seriously, I was able to easily solo this fate back in 2.4. It wasn't that hard.

Though to be fair, it could have reset to minimum difficulty by the time I needed it too. It'd timed out more than a few times while I was waiting for the fate infront of stone vigil for the previous book.

That's because this FATEs was nerf at patch 2.28 (05 June 2014)^^;
Before the nerf, each boss of the four winds had too much HP so it became impossible to solo killing all of them in 15min.
