[request] increase Alexandrite fate drop rate

[desufin]

I don't think I'm the only that works. Out of curiosity how old are you and what you do for the living?

As the other person has already told you, my age and occupation has nothing to do with what I said. If it helps soothe your weary soul though I'm 30 and my occupation allows me to spend way too much time on this game but that's still irrelevant as the point remains. If you don't have time to invest in something that takes time, you should not expect to have the same fast results as someone that does have that spare time. It's basic logic and demanding it differently is asking to get catered to for no reason other than being extremely selfish and ignorant.

Exactly, I try to log in everyday to do my mission and get my daily map, but some days I don't even have time for that. Hence maps should have better output.

daily ex. roulette only need around 15-30 minutes. Then 5 minutes for the map.

Considering that you can get a i110 weapon from scratch in a couple of days now ( less if you really want it asap), yes please, increase alex drop rate. I already have shiva weapons for jobs I don't even have yet. Why would I want to waste so much time and money for an outdated weapon?

that the main trouble of the relic, now with the other content, do you really want to get a relic? the point is the relic work as a goal for a lot of us, because let's be honest.... if you don't like the hunt (like me, what they have done with it is a true mess that needed to be cleaned) or don't have a static for do BC....what goal do you have into the game? the game lack goal for everytype of player, Yoshida have said recently that they was sorry to have forget the midcore player (that are the most of the playerbase actually) you do have goal for casual and hardcore, but for the other...well forget it.

the relic is a perfect example of Hardcore content, because is not casual, easy don't make a stuff casual... it's the time needed for get it done that make it casual. the relic is one of the most tedious hardcore activity around.

daily ex. roulette only need around 15-30 minutes. Then 5 minutes for the map.

Alexandrite needed 75... if you only do the ex roulette you need 75 day..... more of 2 month just for this step, behind you have the nexus one and the zodiac one.

ps: i don't say that the alexandrite drop must reach something like 25% but the droprate of 10% is far too low for the time needed for the whole relic.

I\\\\\\'m working on my second relic I only started on Saturday last week and I\\\\\\'m finishing my last 3 books for animus. Even thou at a books are long and tedious , I find them fun. Same as lights and doing the last quest. My problem with Alex\\\\\\'s is that you NEED 75 of them which this is the worst grind of all. And to top it up you need to either be rich to have a perfect novus , the materia prices are outrageous atm (400k for IV SAVAGE AND AIM ) I do not mind doing fates as I\\\\\\'m constantly active looking g forward to something but the amount of Alex needed is ridiculous. I cannot to reduce the amount of Alex you need but allowing NEW people to reach and catch up others on their relic will be a fair point for newcomers

realistically you can get up to 6 Alex a day guaranteed by farming 2k solds and 1 exdr. But it would be nice not only for me but for other people doing their 1st relic to tone down the Alex grind. No the whole zodiac just the Alex one.

Doing hunts , doing A marks will give you around 600 seals IF you join the full train. And that only happens every 3 hours. Sounds like a lots of Alex but realistically it just doesn\\'t happen know people pulling early and missing marks.

Like I say nerfing a bit the Alex drop FROM FATES ( it gives us another option to get them a bit easier. No just the brain mumbling sold farm. ) I don\\'t know how I managed to do brayflox day in and day out back in the day.

Atma drop rates were raised significantly. It used to take hours on end to farm a single atma unless you were truly lucky, but I ran a full set of twelve yesterday in a few hours. Animus books were 1500 myth apiece back when myth was a thing; their cost has effectively been cut by 2/3. Alex maps were 800 myth back then too, so their cost has effectively been halved. Alex drop rates from fates has been increased significantly, to the point where you actually CAN go farm them from FATEs. To top it all off, Nexus lights have been doubled from what they were on release.

I guess I'm just not seeing to how they aren't allowing newcomers to catch up here.

Guessing you queue as a tank? Dps queue times are easily the total time needed you suggested here.

On topic, I have no doubt that they will continue to alter the 2.0 relic quest line as we get closer to the expansion. I would expect some pretty big changes. This is especially if they make the finished 2.0 relic required for starting the 3.0 relic quest line.

On my second relic after the nerf I got all 12 atmas within 2 hours. That's why I thought it was viable to do Alex grind from fates. But it seems the drop rate it's not equal. which it should be , knowing that you NEED 75.

The rest of the nerfs are just balanced. the Alex Fat Grind is not for now. That's why the request on increasing the % drop

Alex drop rates from fates has been increased significantly...

Exactly how much from what?
