Zodiac Quest Dungeon Items

[FranSeara]

Just finish my 3rd zodiac weapon. On atma book 6 for Dragoon with 86 alexs in storage. If this keeps up, I'll have 5 Zodiac weapons soon. I always take a break if the drop rates sucks. I wish everyone good luck here!!

I just finished mine, I got lucky on a few, unlucky on a few, very very lucky on the worst ones and was very unlucky on Amdapor keep.

I probably ran most dungeons 5 or 6 times before drop, some were first time drops (Dzaemael Darkhold and Aurum Vale), Amdapor keep took around 20 or so though I believe. Overall I would of said this was much less stressful than Animus or Nexus stage but then I didn't have to suffer through DD or AV 10 times. If I did i'm sure it would of sucked, although I queued as tank for those to get instant queues and try and speed the dungeon as quickly as possible.

The only thing I really noticed is how many healers (even very well geared ones) sit around doing nothing except reapplying stoneskin and using cure or physick as soon as the tank drops 1 hp off max, when they could easily be contributing by dpsing. That annoyed me the most especially when the other dps was undergeared or useless. (I saw a nin use nothing but hyoton, no kassatsu, no ration, no trick attack, the whole run)

Ok still doing this questline and my god is it frustratingly annoying.
Over 20 runs per dungeon is not my idea of fun at all, who came out with this silly idea anyway, a former Ubisoft member? lol
And the whole crateable/desynth items, again utterly stupid idea

No, it was the RNGesus answer that did not involve FATES, like the 3 of previous 4 relic steps. Why no FATES because we the community complained so much about FATES.

How about the AV groups I get that cant even finish the dungeon... sub-50 monk gear breaks, has to leave... replacement is fine. But tank is new, thinks he can stun his way to safety. He takes every bad breath to the face on final boss and eats the fruit to cure it, leaving none for us - and doesnt speak english.... 75 minutes down the tube. 15 various runs and 0 atma. not loving my start to the quest.

Oh the fates were horrid as was atma drop rate back in the day (3 + months for 12 atmas) But spamming the same dungeons over and over and over.... that is just bad design and uber annoying is all i was saying.
And also why do we need to purchase bomb cores and Spring water multiple times, sigh
Sorry about my rant, just this entire Relic questline has been a real pain as i am sure it has been for others

[Zophar]

I really didn't mind the drop rate for my first two zodiacs. But this third one.... this third one, I have 2 dungeons left and have thus far spent double the time and effort on it than both of my previous zodiacs combined. I'm currently at an -average- of 15-20 runs per drop. My quickest drop for this weapon has been 7 runs, my worst has been around 50ish. Longest streak without seeing a single drop was well over 80 dungeons.

Sometimes RNG giveth. Sometimes it taketh away.
