FAQ: Zoadiac Weapons & You

[Errors]

I wonder if it's:
Each FATE has a X percent to drop Y amounts of Atma and each participate that completes with gold rating has Z percent chance to get it (you have a lower percentage of winning a Atma the more people who participate).

Or is it:
The player has X percent to get a Atma from a FATE.

I'm always curious how they implement the loot pools in games.

Wait... I was told that you couldn't get all the books until they started releasing newer content down the road. Can you currently obtain all the books to get the animus?

Yes, once you obtain the 12 Atma you go turn them in, and he will give you the base weapon back upgraded to item level 100, and shiney new colors, however no stats will be upgraded at all. You then go through the 9 books to upgrade each stat individually until you cap out for that particular stat. Such as getting +2 Int per book until its capped out. So it may take you 3 total books to get all the Int you need to cap out (this is just an example I don't have exact numbers).

It was said by the developers that later on you will be able to upgrade it even further, more then likely to ilvl 110, and be able to customize your stats. However they have not given information as to how we will do this, or exactly how much of each stat you can in fact customize.

This makes perfect sense. Can you follow me around and be my personal FFXIVpedia? :]

If youd read the topic, youd have already seen this exact info. (changed 'he' to 'you')

Yes...
Book of Skyfire for example is divided into Book of Skyfire I, Book of Skyfire II, and Book of Skyfire III. But you can only get Book of Skyfire II if you've completed Book of Skyfire I.
Four available simply means you have for book series to chose from. By completing those, you can select the next in the same series...

Different for PLD, since it's divided into 4 series for Sword and 2 for Shield... That's why it says 6 available for that set...


I admit I was confused about it at first too, and talked to others who were confused...
But I'm currently working on the second Book of Skyfire, which only became available after I completed the first.

Word around the street says that as long as you hit a fate enemy once, you have a chance of getting an atma. All the game checks for is participation status. If this is true, you can run to fate to fate. Hit them once and move to the next and wait for them to finish to see if rng smiled upon you.

Also have heard this from others, however the question remains, does it still count if the Fate Fails?

If you are completing the FATEs stated in the books, please remember you must get gold medal or else it will not consider you completed that FATE. I got silver medal and is not recorded.

Ok, that is good to know.
