Demiatma drop rates are unacceptable

[AvoSturmfaust]

To be honest, i maxed out now 7 Jobs and im still missing 3 Atmas, so im not a huge fan of the Droprate BUT since its a 1time step and not required for every Relic im fine with it, thats how Relics should be, the one time step should be a pain in the ass and take a while (after all what the next step comes in how many months 5?) while the step to aquire the weapon then is a tomestone thing, i kinda like it it involves both worlds easy tomestones and hard grind

I would like atmas to continue dropping as an alternative to paying tomes for subsequent penumbral relics. Maybe requiring just one of each; rowena is bound to be able to sell them. They’re fun, I get an extra incentive to do fates waiting on roulette queues, and as these relics have achievements tied to them that can be used as a check to close the tap when all are acquired.

After way too much grinding, I finally got Demiatmas...

And this is why needing 6 sets of them is a terrible design choice which isn't helped at all by not being able to force certain FATEs and CEs to spawn... Just have to sort of hope you even get a chance to get to roll on the RNG...

The "it's only been X days since the update's release" responses don't make much sense. It's a broad generalization that lacks the necessary nuance. It's easy to say "it's only been a week", but if someone has farmed twelve hours a day for seven days straight and only has a single Demiatma to show for it then it's not difficult to understand why they might be frustrated and how demoralizing it can be when you realize you need to collect seventeen more.

I've spent several hundred hours playing Fates on OC and still don't have all the crystals for a relic weapon...
Especially for the "Malachite Demiatma," it took me more than 80 hours to get one...

I wish they had a system where you could trade atma for atma you need. Certainly not at 1 to 1 since that'd just be too easy, but hell even a 3 to 1 ratio would be preferrable to me just accumulating atma I don't even need while the one I need refuses to show up after countless hours of farming fates/CEs.

Why would 1:1 be too easy, LOL. You still need to contend with the RNG of getting 18 drops total.
People need to realize that this is only the first step of the relics with "bleh" item level to boot.

Being this grindy for the first step is just way overkill.

Because it would ruin the point of having multiple Atmas to begin with, which is to give each different region and CE different values for each player, otherwise people would just never attempt to spawn Calamity Bound past their first story-mandated one, or they'd just go to Heritage Found/Living Memory where they don't need to be sync'd down and is a lot easier as a result of iLvl creep, since FATEs are tuned to a 690 and lower iLvl. Video game players, especially MMO players, need restrictions, or they will always take the path of least resistance and then complain about the path offering very little resistance.

Level to knowledge 20, then finish off whatever remaining you have with shared fates. Bi-Color gemstones maintain good value with rewards, so at minimum you'll make some decent gil marketboarding something you don't care about. You'll speed up your grind considerably doing it this way I promise.

Also currently Yak'Tel still has instances, which is very relevant when green are the lowest drop rate inside OC.

The funny thing is all they had to do to fix it was make multiple fates spawn at the same time in oc so you could go to the ones you needed. It would also improve the monotony that is the run the only fate, return, and repeat gameplay. Like at least give us a choice se.
