FAQ: Zoadiac Weapons & You

[Shirai]

I don't remember on which job I started the Zodiac quest.

I know I can collect the atma with any of my Zenith equipped. (did collect some atmas on different jobs)
But when I will turn in the atmas, will I have to be on the job that started or it will be at that point that I have to choose?

Any insight appreciated, so I know if I will have to start collecting again

Once you recieve all 12 Atmas you can choose which relic you want to upgrade.
Just be sure not to be on that job or have a different weapon equiped when you do as you "hand in" your weapon.

so IF I glamoured my zenith weapon with a lightning event weapon ...Can I still get Atmas ?

I wouldn't know why not, you have the actual weapon equiped.

Does being in a full party increase my chances of getting an atma? I got one yesterday after around 1-2 hours grind when I was in a party of two.

Speaking from experience out of the 3 total Atma I've farmed, I got my very first atma within 2 hours of farming, and I was solo. My 2nd atma took around 3-4 hours and that was in a full fate party. Likewise for my 3rd. From what I've seen, drop rates vary by extreme amounts. Some people get them within the first 10 minutes of fate grinding regardless if they are in a party or not, while others have spent several hours, in full groups and no luck.

But when I will turn in the atmas, will I have to be on the job that started or it will be at that point that I have to choose?

Ty both, excellent question and answer, gonna add this to the list.

The only thing I will say is that out of all 12 atmas i farmed i never noticed 2 people getting one from the same fate. That of course could be entirely coincidental but I would say I got near half solo and the other half in a party. Also the speed in which I got them didn't seem to be impacted by party or solo play. Some in a party I got within the first 2 fates, some solo I got within the first fate. Seems to be entirely random

My forums just completed bugged out, I see every poster as Naoki_Yoshida with various avatars. This is so weird.

Ah, April Fool's apparently, completely forgot.

Some leves are from the grand companies, if you really can't find it, you might want to check the other NPC that do. It doesn't necessarily need to be in the same grand company you are in.

This ended up being the solution to my problem. Thank you very much for sharing this information

Can we do the same book multiple times to double-up on stats?

Can we do the same book multiple times to double-up on stats?

Technically yes and no. When you see the book list it will display 0 out of 1/2/3 accordingly. Meaning you can buy that particular book from 1, 2, or 3 times and upgrade that stat a total of 1, 2 or 3 times. So for example when you upgrade your main Stat, Str, Mnd, Int, Dex, you may notice you'll get 3 books total for it (not sure of the exact number). But until they update the quest in a later patch, you will not be able to go beyond the initial limit set out by the quest.

So sadly you won't be able to use all the books to boost your main stat 9 times. Hope that answers your question.
