A possible solution to the ATMA issue!

[scarletfoxxy]

I myself do not like the way SE went about implementing atmas in the game as a great portion of the community are not doing other content. Most of my gripes is the fact so many people are concerned with getting atmas that almost noone wants to do other things like dungeons, coil, ex primals etc. So my solution is fairly simple! Please tell me if you agree.

1. Make an alternative way to grind for atmas! This can be done by having atmas drop from more then just fates. Anything from dungeons to primals can be considered. This way noone feels as if they have to put their lives on hold obtaining or waiting for others to obtain 12 atmas.

*THERE'S MORE*

2. Make it possible to purchase 1 atma once every daily reset period. They can cost seals or myth! This keeps people doing jobs/fates/challenges for seals and also gives more reason to have myth outside of the other 1000 reasons already.

3. Increase the drop rate or make it so that you will get one every 100 fates completed with gold rating. This will give players a sense of progression that they can get one either every 100 or sometime before they reach 100! This keeps people who enjoy grinding happy and helps those of us that would like our work to not be in vain.

any other suggestions? we've complained enough so now let's put our heads togther and come up with solutions that we all can agree with!

100 is bloody insane if someone is really down on luck.... Drop Rate increase 1% every FATE done for the first 20, the .5% every FATE there after sounds better.

Then again... does the engine/server allows this type of thing?

Lower drop rate ( to .3%)
Add Lottery Spawn FATES and have Atmas only drop from those lottery spawn FATEs.
?????
Profit.

Though in all seriousness, I think eventually they will change or add more ways to get Atmas to the system (like when they add the next form in a later patch). I don't really have any suggestions.

Maybe a retainer quick venture could get a random atma you don't have via quick venture (if it's not already possible, seeing how we get random items already).

Edit: With the venture thing. a "quick" venture that takes a week, but guarantees a random atma. That wouldn't feel like progression though.

SE, please do it via timeworn maps & not fate's.

So people will be forced to level a gathering class to 40 (a grind a lot of people will surely complain about), or to buy timeworn maps from gatherers that will charge a ton for them due to the highly increased demand?

They could do something like you pay 25000 company seals for a random Atma maybe...

Whoa! that's a little steep. I earned about 50k seals over the course of getting my 12. Of course some of those low level fates gave like 5 so if they were higher I'm not sure what I would have earned had they all been level 45+ fates. I don't think 300k seals though. Besides, I was able to use my seals for something useful which made the grinding for ATMA a bit less painful.

I guess it is high, but don't forget that by farming myth spamming first two bosses Brayflox you can get 800ish seals for every piece of armor you turn in. That adds up fast and I have collected tons of seals that way.

Better solution:

1 atma per completed category of challenge log entry.

Do everything possible in the log in 1 week? Grats, you are on books now.

9 weeks of doing everything in the game if you want all 9 zodiac weapons.
