Yoshi-P: Atma drop % = "it's just luck"

[eagledorf]

hmmm brb i have some myth farming to do

I wouldn't hold my breath on i115 weapons in 2.28. There's a reason the weapons that drop from t9 are 5 ilevels higher than all other gear including other coil gear (and t5 drops were similarly 5 ilevels above in 2.1). If you think about it, a 15 ilevel jump in 1 step seems very fast anyway. That graph could be interpreted as simply meaning that relic upgrades will continue to the level of High Allagan and possibly beyond while the other gear is not planned to progress beyond the upgrades that already are in the game.

It's possible, of course, but I would wait for 2.28 to drop first and see what Novus actually is if you're only farming myth for an i115 weapon.

The Atma solution is really... REALLY simple.

You give the alchemist guy one... ONE set of 12 Atma. Done. He can now upgrade any weapon.

That was the change they made on beastmen seals.

Just pray it isnt grounds to nerf the i115 concept.

There is no "i115 concept".

That Famitsu chart is not saying that the Novus is going to be i115. It's saying that the relic will continue to be upgraded, to and beyond the highest current iLevel of weapon - it doesn't say when it's going to reach that iLevel, and it doesn't even seem to know that the next level of the upgrade is called "Novus".

That chart is not intended to be a scoop of new information for players waiting on tenterhooks for secret insider information on the development of the game; the article that it's from is clearly intended to be a simple breakdown of the methods of acquisition, pros and cons, and sources of upgrades for current weapons, aimed at people who don't know the ins and outs of the various endgame weapons available in 2.2.

You DO know what concept means, yes? /smh

Well okay but if we're literally talking about the intangible concept of an i115 Relic weapon then I don't think we need to be worried about whether or not anything is going to cause it to get 'nerfed' because it's a hypothetical idea and doesn't strictly require that FFXIV even exist, let alone that it adhere to the design principles of the game's developers.

I'm not so sure he's being 100% honest here. If you notice, he even SPECIFICALLY asks if the guy had run FATEs with time, as per some "occult rumors." Square likes to do little things like this, then keep their mouths shut and never admit to it. Why would they change now?

[Tinker]

Well, I am officially giving up on attempting to get my atmas as long as this obscene system is in place. I've been grinding at least an hour a day at fates since its advent.

Mind.

Numbingly.

Boring.

Fates.

It's just not worth it. I am not challenged, I am not having fun. I have no indication of actual progression. It's like playing russian roulette when 98.5% of the time every chamber in the weapon is loaded.

Whomever designed this inane system needs to be drawn, quartered, and defiled on live TV. And then have their arse fired while the masses celebrate

The challenge is patience.

Some find it too difficult.

Many do not.

I can accept this.
