1000 fates trophy

I love this game but I'm stuck doing fates all day. I have OCD and need to get all the trophies. I like grinding but this achievement is keeping me from playing the rest of the game.

Currently 470/1000

I really would like to see this changed or updated to be manageable. Here's what would help:

Change the achievement to 200 or 500 - always thought 1000 was crazy
Make boss fates count is 5x or 10x towards the achievement
Make certain fates quicker, do I have to kill 30+ enemies every time?

Other suggestions welcome. Thanks

It does not need to be changed. It is not difficult at all to get. You have to put in the time like everyone else, lol. People need to just stop asking to nerf everything for themselves. Changing it is an insult to all of us who worked at getting it.

1000 Fates isn't really a big deal. Most people who have been playing this game since ARR have already long since gotten that many. The 10,000 Fate achievement is the real slog. You can bang out 1000 Fates in a week or less, especially if you use the kobold mines Fate combo in Outer La Noscea. The two fates in the back of the mines spawn back and forth non-stop, so you can just do one, go back to the other, then go right back to the other over and over. I was averaging a Fate every minute when I did it for the 10k achievement, knocked THAT achievement out in less than a month.

Wait for yokai to come around again. Getting all the minions and the mount is 700+ fates easy. And everyone woulda be doing them so its good exp gain and good for fate achievements.
Also you can join spawner parties that farm certain fates for hunts or achievements. And do fates while in que for other things.
There should be linkshells for fate spawners and fate farmers, you could try find like minded people who would make it less of a slog

the 1000 fate trophy is really easy in fact this game trophy difficulty is literally a 1 out of 10 to platnium considering all the challenge is gone now i'd suggest doing the relic weapons atma and luminous crystal step from 3.x to make this more of an incentive as this step require to do fates to get some glamour weapons you can work towards after that just go to any small arr area and level your 15 jobs with fates till you hit 1000 as someone who has done 15000 of them it all about incentive and doing boss fates and well helping others if you want considering coil and msq the hardest things got nerfed already by unsynched there is no need to complain in fact be happy you didn't have to do turn 5 of coil legitamately like i did to platnium the game

What is Yokai?

I see your point. It's just a lot

If you think that's rough just wait til you go for the hunt achievements... or worse the mount....

Fates are not hard -.-. can solo t hem witgh choco for faster wins or could always go to Eureka and join a fate train. Go as a whm can get healer raise achievement as well fast lol

I disagree, leave it at 1000

Most of us around here got the achievement a long time ago due to few specific pieces of content that required a massive fate grind.
ATMA and Novous steps of 2.0 relic.
Anima step of the 3.0 relic
Yokai watch event of 2016 and 2017.

All of these required the completion of fates to obtain a rare drop (usually around 2-5%). A thousand fates gets blown through very fast when doing that type of quest.
Do not worry, SE will do it to us again for something in the future. You'll get the title then.

I think I am almost at 5000 or 6000 fates. I think i hit 1000 before even Atma released.

this thread made me check if I got the achievement, and I did, back in 2015. as previously said, it was thanks to grinding FATEs mostly for the atma but currently, I still try to solo at least one a day for my birb (he's halfway to 19!) and the challenge log.
I'm also for not changing the achievement. you're only looking at the 1,000 mark remember there's the 10k one xD

I never did the Yokai events, but here is what I did.
In Outer La Nocea, in the Ul Ghomoro mines, there's always at least one fate active at all times. If you don't see one, just wait about 10 seconds or so and one will spawn.
Going back and forth between these FATEs is by far the fastest way, and it's how I did it. Doesn't take that long if you do it like this.

the best way to grind a FATE counter, in my opinion... it was already mentioned, but i will offer up more details.


go to the teleport "Camp Overlook". back in the U'Ghamaro Mines you will find the FATE's. one is called "Full Metal Alchemist" at location X: 24 Y: 6. another FATE called "Making the Rounds" located at X: 22 Y: 6.

as one can tell, they are very close to each other. it doesn't matter which one you do first. they will appear back-to-back continuously. if you teleport to "Camp Overlook" and don't see them right away, just wait a minute. they will show. of course start getting some headway by heading that way even if you don't see them. -_^

Sometimes doing things in parties or with friends lightens the load a LOT. If you ever find yourself in Famfrit hit me up. I'd help you fate grind. "actually kinda miss the old days in camp blue fog"

If you like trophies and rewards, I'm a bit hesitant to tell you about the hunt achievement... You'll need to kill 3,000 A-ranks and 2,000 S ranks to get a tiger mount. If you think 1,000 fates are tedious, the hunt achievement would like you to hold its beer :) :) :)

I am working toward it myself, and I expect I'll see that tiger mount when the 7.0 expansion rolls around.

I hope you only want all the PS4 trophies and not the actual in-game achievements or you're in for a wild ride.

I just do one or two a week for that on average. Lately I've been getting dungeons(usually level 60 dungeons), but have gotten a fair share of the EX primals.

1000 fates. I am close to the 10,000 fate achievement, lol

With the stacks going to 999 now, it will be a lot easier with quick synthesis. Just get something that requires 1 ingredient, grab a stack of 999 plus a few more, and you should be able to get the 1k crafting in no time(just watch a movie while doing so...at least that's my plan once I get my crafters to 70).

This^^ or set quick synthesis and go make a snack. I do quick synths all the time when I am making bulk and I try to time them when I am ironing my shirt for work, taking a shower or something else where I need to get an IRL task accomplished.

Actually I wish people would do more fates, the game is empty now. at least in the old zones..

I think what you veteran players overlook is that when you started this game, FATEs must have been more popular method of leveling up. I only started playing 3 weeks ago, but from what I've seen, in ARR areas very few people do FATEs. Yes, one can solo FATEs, but it takes much more time that way and some are rather difficult.
I'm optimistic I'll find a bearable method for this one.

EDIT: Not that anyone's gonna read this, but I've managed to get to 900 FATEs in Middle La Noscea area (low level FATEs). The rest I'm hoping to get through natural progression. I overestimated the difficulty of this achievement and currently see no reason why it would pose any problems or difficulties.
