Feedback Regarding the Relic Upgrade Quest

[Tagihi]

So SE knows that we are sick of fates and then they make you do not one but 12.

And it doesn't stop there, it's old low level fates that don't even have a 100% chance of giving you what you need. So you wait for 30 mins to get nothing, and you have to do that x12.


From what i know then when you are done with that you have to farm trash mobs, just like before doing Hydra for the original relic, so more boring stuff.

I know that they shouldn't give free relics but this is way worst, it's not challenging or hard, it's just boring and time consuming. I don't know who had this idea but it's clearly a terrible one.

Also there's not even a way to know what fate you need and you don't even have a quest to track your progress....

Then don't do it.

I know, but what about gear sets? 13500 miths means almost 3 AF+1 sets...

a) Should i have to spam T1-T5 and pray to the RNG God who has been avoiding me since 2.0? No, thanks
b) Should i buy/craft ilvl 90 recipes? no way, too expensive/insane to craft to get it. Doesn't worth it
c) Spam T6-T9? yeah, well, "good luck". I have no static for coils (never kill Twintania yet), so this option is not valid
d) Restaured weapons needs an unidentified tomesone... if it's a drop from T6-T9 i'm in the same situation than c)

I know i'm being exigent, but i really feel that i can't have "good gear" with at least the "one dps, one tank, one healer" setup. So i have to stick with my Monk and pray that it won't become useless in the future

Sounds like MMO's aren't for you.

This is two weeks max. How is that hard?

[TeaTimeBear]

LOL these threads are gold muh sides~

[Soreneon]

That is not that bad. I got tons of diablos ran the first minute server popped, then started atmas. I am on number 8 right now, and it has taken the longest by far; but it's fair, easy, and makes the reward even better.

[whoopeeragon]

I am already at 8 atmas

I hate you so much right now. I'm at 4-5 hours of FATE grinding, 0 Atmas here.

[SendohJin]

Are you guys seriously complaining? I am already at 8 atmas, and had time to do 4 runs of lost city the minute server came up.

I hate you so much right now. I'm at 4-5 hours of FATE grinding, 0 Atmas here.

see this is not work, this is dumb luck.

i'm not a fan of FATEs either but it would be much better design if to get an Atma, you do every FATE once in a specific zone with the proper Zenith weapon equipped, at least that way you actually have a checklist to work with and each time you do something you are one step closer to your goal.

low random drop rates is bad design.

[Ranghar]

I agree. Making it based on pure luck isn't steady progression. I spent 4 hours doing 70 fates on my second atma. A guildmate showed up did one FATE and got it the first time. Lucky people can have the 12 atmas days before an unlucky person with the same amount of play time.

[Meshico]

Yay, I like the grind, because it's a different option. Granted Allagan weapon is still Top Tier and that is the real goal...talk about Tedius @.@;;

But Fates, its just as random as the Allagan...once someone posts a video on how to beat it that is

Alas I digress, I like the new system since it offers something for us "casuals" to poor over and try to get ^.^

p.s. This is a great thread but bad title...just saying.

[PArcher]

All I have to do right now is figure out which class I'm going to run this quest for first.

I'm actually thinking of doing my secondary first; the Liberator is just so much better than Gae Bolg Animus (and will be going for the High Allagan Spear ASAP anyway), and I don't like the i100 options for WHM other than Thyrus Anima.

This will take some time. That's good. Something to do for a long time.
