Players with shining weapon in low level fates

[Alx789]

Sometimes i see players with terrible looking shining weapon in lvl<15 fates. What does they do there? Sometimes they do such fates alone, so i can't think that they helps newbies to level-up.

Most likely they were there to get that one atma for their relic weapons.

They're doing a quest to upgrade their zenith (shiney :3) weapon. They need to do FATEs in certain areas until they get a rare item to drop ^^

[Shirai]

Like KinnisonArc sais, these terrible looking weapons are likely relic "Zenith" weapons.
To upgrade these to the next stage "Atma" they need to farm 12 Atma which are a possible drop from FATEs, but they can only drop if you have a Relic "Zenith" weapon equiped.

Furthermore, each Atma drops in a specific zone and some of them are in low level zones.

So no, they aren't there to help the newby.

they can only drop if you have a Relic "Zenith" weapon equiped.

That's actually incorrect - you don't need to have the weapon equipped, just the quest active.

The guys at Square think it is a good idea to force high level players to farm hundreds of low level Fates if they want to upgrade their relic weapons. So that is what they are doing.

Edit: And "hundreds" is not exaggerated btw.

It took me about 1100 fates, most people I know average around 500.

Do not listen to this person it has been confirmed time and time again you must have a relic zenith equipped as it's is also stated in the quest(I know it's so hard to read the first 3 sentences), even an atma/animus weapon won't work( which really is what bugs me)

Wrong. You do need the Zenith equipped.
