Some steps did because they were artificially limited. But I recall some steps as the anima steps came out that people had done day one and sometimes for more than one weapon if it was something they could just grind over and over.

Man I remember when some fates tied to the ARR books would take forever to spawn. Like Giant Seps or Tower of Power. Course this was before we learned that zones could only have X amount of fates up at the same time. Even after we learned that they still made them appear more frequently. Course you're talking probably more about the maps part. I'm glad we don't have to track down a crafter that could craft you the Dispelling Arrow anymore.

Anima, not Zodiac. Anima was Heavensward. There were definitely some bottlenecks in animas (umbrite, ugh) but there were some steps that people were showing the weapon around same-day.

The ARR books are still that bad with FATEs. I polished off the Zetas I didn't have recently and some of those FATESs when I was on the book steps still refused to spawn. So it was a lot of waiting around on that step. Alexandrite step is easier now since you have the daily quest for maps and you can buy them with poetics.
