Nothing has changed.

I finished my Atma quest line and I'm casually doing my Animus books. The quest is pretty much the same except it's easier to get mythos for the books.

It still sucks.

If you push it, you can still get a book or 2 a day and wear yourself out. If you do just the dailies, you can get one every 3. It's not TOO bad but still it would equal up to about a month for all 9.

I guess people have hard time wrappung their head around the concept of "long term content".

Yes you can do 99,9% of quests in a single play session but not this one thing.

You are right to feel this way and yes there is still some pain associated with getting through it. I've put in a suggestion to make dungeons more dynamic so that we aren't playing the same thing hundreds of times to complete our weapon progression.

It's not hard it's very time consuming. I was farming a second set and leaving it my bags ready for the new jobs but seeing as how it's not even gonna be until 2.4 and that not even being until the end of the year. I'd rather have that free inventory space.

I don't think you understand why people have issues with the Atma quest. It's not that it takes long. It's getting Atma's that annoy people.

It's the same, and if you think that's bad:
For the Novus upgrade, you need to farm 75 alexandrites. To get them, you have to do a special type of treasure map that you can get once per day(most fights are easily soloed, a few will tear you apart in seconds). Assuming you don't fail, you get one from that. They also drop the same way as the atma, but equip an animus weapon instead of a zenith. Once you have alex, you get to start slotting materia onto a special scroll(that also costs 1500 myth to get). They get melded similar to gear, though you don't jump straight to 45% chance of success. The alexandrite takes the place of carbonized matter.

You can put whatever secondary stats you like on the scroll, and for each fourth of the total possible cap for a given stat, you have to start using the next highest grade of materia. This means you will need a minimum of 11 grade 4 crit materia if you wanted to max that on your weapon, for example; and probably a lot more, since you'll be breaking some trying to meld. Then once you finally get the scroll finished with 75 materia glued to it, you get your upgraded weapon with its core stat, VIT, and the secondaries you chose along with a damage upgrade to Lv110-tier. This weapon is not as good as the ones you can get(relatively speaking) more easily by running Coil2.
