Patch 3.15 Notes Discussion

[Kedo]

Yoshi-p said the atma step was step 1, which can be skipped by having a Zeta to exchange, basically using the stored soul energy from the zeta instead of going out and getting these new atma-like stones.

don't have it to hand, was something of a while ago. He was saying it in a live letter i think? about how even he didn't want to do that again and was glad he could skip it.

extra: obviously this doesn't help anyone playing MCH/DRK/AST since you don't have a zeta. unless the rumour about being able to exchange any zeta toward your chosen class is true. but i couldn't find anything about that myself.

Cause I don't remember reading, or hearing that at all.

He didn't specifically say that the atma quest was the one one that could be skipped. He said the FIRST of the 5 steps could be skipped if you did the grind for your Zeta.

TessaJalloh Might be referring to what this says.

Zodiac Weapon Zeta Exchange
Players in possession of a Zodiac Weapon Zeta may exchange this weapon for items required
to progress through a certain quest. Although the Zodiac Weapon Zeta will be lost upon
exchanging it, players may purchase replicas should they choose to preserve its
appearance via glamours.

I also remember them saying people who did zetas could skip the first step. My question was do we loose the Zeta, and it confirmed in the 3.15 notes.

Skipping the first step has been known for a while, no where does it say Atmas would be first step which is what she/he was saying in her original post.

The step better be worth giving up the original. I will forego the skip if it just ends up being some vendor trash items.

I don't care much for Dragoons Zeta so I didn't invest much into materia melds. Just a bunch of cheap disposable stats. Don't care for Warriors axe either but I do like the glow effect. However its nice knowing you can trade a slightly cheaper trash stat relic zetas you don't like and keep the ones you invested in as its still functional compare to a lv1 glam item.

I don't recall that quote either. I do know it was jokingly part of speculation as to what the phases could involve. But nothing before today suggested a new Atma farming round. I just hope those items stack and are not KI's tied to the job taking the quest line.
