Zodiac Weapons The Next Step. (Findings)

[MilesSaintboroguh]

I am pretty sure you have to do it all over again. It would be too damn easy if you do this quest line once and bam, you can get Zodaic for any Nexus you have.

Not sure if your definition of "easy" means doing all those atma farming/animus book/alex maps/nexus light farming were mere small works.

The mined data kinda suggest it though, hence me asking this question.

He meant having other Nexus weapons, while having your already finished Zodiac one. And to your question on previous post, if you noticed when you grabbed the quests, they had repeatable quest icons, hints that you have to do them all over again if you wanna enhance other Nexus weapons into Zodiac. What you need to enhance from Nexus are the items given by those quests (Flawless Alexandrite, Zodium, Zodiac Scroll and Book of Skylight) and present them to the enhancer npc and pick whatever weapon you want.

for anyone needing fast Gc seal for the 4 bombcores. trade in old gear to your gc for seals i got my 80kseals with in mins,

Imo the best way is crafting Militia Choker. Uses only a few mats, easy crafted.

You get so much loots and soldiery tomes by running the dungeons, Seals and Tomes are therefore absolutely no problem.

Tomes are the problem for me right now.
It's something like 20-25 mins for 50.
6400sols is 43 hours of dungeon running @ 20mins (excluding first-time bonus/roulette bonus).

Haha, if this is true, it's gonna be another expensive upgrade. ^^;

Maybe for GC seals, but not for tomes. They're now generate pathetically slower than philo/myths days. ^^;

Didn't feel like digging through this whole thread to find the post stating "4-5 runs to get a drop" but thought I would post my findings thus far.

WP 1/1 (got lucky)
AV 1/1 (again thank you RNGesus)
HM 0/12 (decided to focus on blood, will go back once I finish that quest line)
Copper 1/23
Hull 1/26
Qarn (HM) 1/1.

So if you don't mind me saying these are exactly like pre 2.4 atma drop rates, occasional lucky flashes, but otherwise a lot of grinding. All the nexus clad people being in the dungeons does make it more fun however and the runs fly most of the time, still a fairly major time sink, as other than daily roulettes for soldiery this is all I have done for the past two days.

I have now set up a shrine to RNGesus in my living room using a dashboard Jesus someone gave me as a gag gift as the icon of veneration. Last two runs which netted me Kraken Blood and Viceregent Blood he was overloking so maybe my luck is about to change. All praise to RNGesus!!!

Has it been confirmed yet that you need the HQ crafted items or can you use the NQ items?

[Grotesque]

You need HQ

Soldiery Tomes come faster right now than Myth did when Animus first came out. Furthermore, we need fewer tomes than Animus needed. This may be a time consuming portion of the quest, but an unlucky enough person will easily get most, if not all of the necessary tomes by just running dungeons.
