Iv been trying to get the crystals for like 9 hours now and I only have 3...

I really want the weapon but this amount of mindless fate zerging is getting to be too much...

It help if you do them with a job between lv 51 and 59. It is a good opportunity to level up other jobs while doing it for the relic. Just see it as an exp FATE farming.

You have to get gold in the FATEs in order to have a chance to get a drop if you didn't know that.

I got one with Silver, ~24k exp (instead of ~42k) and a lightning crystal.

I don't think it would take 48+ hours of farming for anyone even with really bad rng luck to get 18 crystals, it probably took me about 8-10 hours of actual farming to get all 18 crystals and just for a reference roughly 3-4 hours to get 12 atmas (and 50-60 hours to get 12 atmas pre nerf).

One of my FC mates had done over 1000 fates before he got the atmas. Not even exaggerating, he nearly quit the game over it lol

Yeah I was quite lucky with pre nerf atma drops, a lot of people I know took much longer to get them XD
