First, he said 200 for a weapon, not 500, but moving on....

Glad you were lucky, glad other people are lucky. Western La Noscea took me almost 300 fates, 12 hours plus or minus an hour. So far in Lower La Noscea 186 fates, about 8 hours (thanks to all the running around). At least you used the word average, but average means dick to the people burning 20+ hours just for two. I say + because I still don't have LLN atma... don't worry, after this one, only two more to go. Goat (already at 6 hours toward goat) and Maiden. The other 9 have only taken about 22 hours total, give or take an hour.

The math for my own time makes someone else get done in like 18 hours for all 12. Rng is stupid. Add on top of this the grind for your books and the things required by the books and you're looking at way more than 40 hours for one weapon.
