Atma Silver Lining (Kind of)

[Zarzak]

I still hate Farming ATMA, but there is a silver lining "kind of". (SPIRTBONDING)
Your going to need Materia for Novus anyway, or Gil Dealers choice. I personally made half a Mill, and got a great head start on my Novus. Farming with no linear progression still sucks I agree. But at least now there is some benefits. Hope This Helps

This is the only reason I can bring myself to touch FATES. A group of friends and I (4 of us) are all working on our weapons together (Couldn't bring ourselves to do atma until 2.28) and decided to start stockpiling materia now. I'm the only 50 goldsmith so they provide the money to buy mats (and 2 of them have 50 miner so they go out and mine some as well) and I pump out 40-50 sets of jewelry a week. Were planning for 1 stack of each tier (besides T4 materia) for det and cit (since we would all use these) and about half a stack of accuracy. Almost done with T1 about half with T3 and T2 is currently the lowest.


The only problem is now gdamn wind shards are inflating so much its starting to be a problem. Did the math last night and a lvl 29 set of jewelry is ~7k gil. 4k of that is just from the wind shards involved. And considering were about done with the lvl 29 set and I'm going to start having to make only 39 and 49 sets..... The cost is going to hurt.

Going through ~500k a week is really going to be a problem likely will have to start selling off a portion of our stockpile to afford to continue.
