Yoshi P said not to worry about getting zeta the first step of anima isn't that bad

I'm just here to join the chorus of people laughing at anyone who thinks this relic grind is bad. Y'all weren't around for the 1.0 relic. I never finished mine because like so many others I never got the primal seals. It was HALF the drop rate of the ORIGINAL atmas, and you only got one chance every 48 hours.

Honestly, it's all down to personal RNG. I've heard of some people on my server who've gotten all the crystals for the first stage in just two-three hours, while I've done it for at least 4-5 hours and only have 4/18 crystals. It's just the nature of RNG. I'm sure there's some lucky assh-, err, fellow out there who's done a total of 18 FATEs and gotten all the crystals in one sweep. I don't mind it, because it gives something to actually work towards as a long term goal that doesn't require seven other people coordinating multiple times a week.....

just talking so people see my sig.

[Warlyx]

because it was WORSE in 2.0 (yeah it was no doubt) , doesnt make it any better now...

Lol you think this is bad? You don't know of the horrors of the pre-nerf Atma grind. I spent a week getting all the drops, some of the guildies took a month to get them. Compared to that, the drop rates on the crystals are almost heavenly. And if you think Step 1 is bad, you don't want to see Step 3.

this is pre nerf atma grind it's the same content and I did the same thing here as I did there, except then i actually had people to play with but those people kind of don't play much anymore

[CGMidlander]

It's really not that bad though.
Pre-nerf atma had a worse drop rate.

The shard farming isnt even hard, I literally have 12 of every crystal only fate farming about 8 hours over 2 days

Difference is the drop rate here is closer to how atma grinding is today. This makes it better than how it was then. I do suggest using PF to find people willing to do the grind as well, it's how I've been getting my pieces (when not leveling AST).

I did use pf and i did level pld while getting my crystals, I'm just saying the mindless grind over playing for a whole day straight and half another day was ugh. when I got done i didn't feel satisfied or anything. It was just oh i got that first exhausting thing done out of this 3 part series. not ot mention i have never been so bleh in my life from the no lifeing that part

[Immut]

The problem with the original atmas wasn't the drop rate, it was the fact that you needed your zenith equipped, meaning you couldn't level alternate classes doing it.

You guys do see that they're trying to get you to level second and third classes, right?
