Animus Weapons Underpoweresd

[Bloopan]

If the stats on the weapon is way better than it is now then waiting for hours for FATEs to pop would be worth it

I cant help but feel that SE doesnt know how to reward players based on how much effort they put in something..

Just look at how this game treats Melee DPS and all their positionals and more importantly, the ATMA grinding and Animus Upgrade

You farm 12 stones for god who know how many hours and what do SE respond with?
Here's a re-skin (great !) - sarcasm intended

Why work towards this though? the atma is a pain and to top it off, the books and myth requirement is even worse.

Get a leviathan weapon + mirror, save yourself the nightmare...

Or the Soldiering Tome Weapons. It's a hell of a more interesting grind, at least.

And come next update when they release the next tier of weapons your leviathan weapon will still be i100 while everyone with an animus weapon starts upgrading theirs to i110 or beyond.

Then eventually when they release full customization for the weapons you're left settling for whichever crafted/raid weapon has the closest to BiS everyone with an upgraded relic is fitting their weapon with the best stats possible.

I haven't bothered with the quest until the drop rates increase, the reward is not worth it atm.

I don't know what you're talking about. I got two first fate atmas in a row and I was just doing the beast tribe daily fates. The drop rate might have increased with the latest hotfix but don't quote me on that. Also I already have and atma Bravura, on book 4 atm, and I was using my pld (sword zenith and allagan sheild) to do the beast tribes since I rarely get to use it and they just dropped as soon as I finished the quest.

@OP: you do know that they will be patching in more steps so it might potentially be ilvl 110 right? 2.25 will add more steps.

[SarcasmMisser]

Do we know what ilevel the upgrades will be or are we just being completely baseless.

Considering people were saying that the relics will be i115 in 2.2 in the lead up to it's release I am going to use more than a pinch of salt here.

apparently, there WILL be another comparable i110 and beyond just like how EX and Levi weapon do
and I doubt Yoshida's customization is feasible

[LunarEmerald]

Agreed.

It's really silly that zenith has no stat upgrade when becoming atma when the quest dialog states that your weapon has become more powerful.

They need to boost atma and animus power a bit.

You don't realize how astronomically low your chance of obtaining a mirror is. It's a nightmare of itself, perhaps even worse. Unless you're lucky, you're looking at HUNDREDS of Leviathan Ex clears. Literally hundreds.

Drop rate 5% or less. Then you have to roll against 7 other people for it.

Anybody that thinks the mirror is an actual alternative has no idea.

Everything has rng in it lol
We see it as who can survive the longest doing 1 of these things. Lol
How much coil r u going to grind for dat weapon and tome?
( u need a good group or your chances will be like 0 lol )
How much levi r u going to kill just to successfully win that mirror drop?
How much running around and spamming attacks in fates can you last for before giving up and considering the two other otions?
