The complaints about atma farming are silly. If you're that frustrated with it, farm Coil 2 for the Unidentified Tomes or the Turn 9 weapons. Farm Leviathan for his weapon. Those are comparable. Heck, in many cases, the animus weapons are not as good as the others anyway.

I put in 15 hours in Central Thanalan before I found my first atma. Was it frustrating? Maybe. But not because the game is bad for it. It's frustrating when your luck is on such a downswing like that. I stuck with it and, guess what, I got all 12 (plus two duplicates) within the next 8 hours of farming.

So, to anyone who is so fed up with farming atmas, stop farming atmas for a while. Go do something else for a while.
