*sigh* Almost feel like giving up on this game

[swordrain]

the chance of getting an atma is still ~1/20, you are just unlucky

It was a figure of speech.

[Ghastly]

On and off I've been trying to get the ATMA at the North shroud for like 2 weeks and still nothing xD
Please Yoshi replace ATMAS...there are better ways to keep us occupied

[Nutz]

Thanks, but I haven't experienced hunts at all. Between trying to grind up pvp rank, keeping up with beastman dailies as best I can, roulettes, and atmas, there just isn't enough time in the day to explore any of the new content. All I do everyday is login, roulettes/dailies, and atma grind. I figure once my atma is out of the way, I can play the rest of the game. I've been telling myself that for...I can't remember how long. Months.

If you plan to stick with the atma I definitely recommend picking up your daily mark bills over at your Grand Company. It takes virtually no time to start or collect the new bills each day and the most lucrative part of the daily bills are 'complete "X" FATE'. Sure it might not always give you one in an area where you're atma farming, but if it does that's basically 10-20 free allied seals, and you can pick up the other 12 from regular mobs very easily. This way you can get a sands of time (or oil or whatever) pretty easily without doing much of anything differently. The weekly mark is also incredibly quick and easy to do for 50 seals.

At this point even if you do get your atmas done you'll almost certainly want your soldiery weapon to hold you over. Grinding through those animus books and then your alexandrite isn't exactly fast (but it is at least non-random...well...except for the materia melding...). Personally I'd say wait for the drop rate to be increased if it weren't for the fact that people have been waiting for that for a long while now with no words in favor of it happening from the devs.

I'm at 1,140 Fates so far, I had only done about 300 when I started doing it exclusively to get Atma, and so far I've only got two.

I tried to start doing Frontlines to raise my pvp rank, but it's impossible to cast, and I have a 71.43% 3rd place ratio in the Immortal Flames.

Accidentally forgot about the fact that if you greed roll win an item in Syrcus Tower it will lock you out of all loot for a week, so I took some useless caster item on my tank and missed out on my opportunity to roll for some boots I really could have used.

I think I need a hug

/hug...Sister, i'm 30 hours of fates in, with only 1 Atma. I had a week of ST runs to lose the Token at the end...to people who died the whole instance, and I swear crafting hates me (well I hear that it hates everyone) when I say you have someone on your side, I'm deeply with you.

[Dano]

yea, it sounds like the RNG gods hate you for some reason.

on the other hand, if you have followed the 14 hour live broadcast by SE, you'll know that they had managed to farm 12 atmas within 14 hours.

I'm still not sure why they don't just answer everyone's prayers with a simple patch. U dont have to remove atma, just make them available for purchase with either Myth, soldiery, or Hunt seals. Cuz you know, we can buy sands & oils for our weathered weapons we can get relatively easily thanks to ST, but god forbid they remove hours/days of a pointless grind in the form of Fate farming for atma.

Sorry, I don't understand a word of what you are talking about. What seals? Huh?

[ServerCollaps]

because relic is the 2nd best and somewhere in future probably the best weapon ingame

and they already said they'll ease the atma grind with 2.4

*With an army of people following them that instantly melted just about every single fate.

Sorry, if they want to emulate a real experience, they should try solo'ing a few boss fates =p That's the true hell of Atma. Not the 50+ people following them around to be on the livestream who instantly killed -everything- for them.

Allied seals are a new form of currency you can get by doing your Daily hunts (which you unlock at your grand company). They send u out to kill x amount of a basic mob for 4 allied seals and 1000gil (you get 3 of these bills) and 2 bills for fate mobs which give 10 seals and 2k gil. There is also a weekly hunt which is worth 50 seals and 5k gil and its a B rank notorious monster that roams the areas. (5 second respawn so its ALWAYS up basically just gotta find it) These seals are kinda amazin since u can buy all your i90 class specific Relic armor, and accessories for like 20-40 seals depending on the piece. They can also be used to buy blood stained mark logs which u can trade in for Sands o time/oil of times. And like i said earlier, it just takes a weekend and ucan have an i100 weapon with little to no effort by doing Syrcus tower for your UAT.
