Animus Weapons Underpoweresd

[Zephyranthes]

I don't mind fate grinding the 12 atmas. I don't mind myth farming 13500 to upgrade an Atma weapon to the Animus version. But I do mind that a ilvl110 Animus weapon is underpowered in comparison to other weapons of the same ilvl.

Atma version (ilvl 100) => same damage/stat levels as an ilvl 90 relic or ex primal weapon
Animus version (ilvl 110) => same damage/stat levels as an ilvl 100 weathered weapon

There should at least be an appropriate reward for the task.



Edit: Noticed that I had a typo in the title. Should be "underpowered"

Animus weapon is i100. And this is why I haven't bothered with the quest until the drop rates increase, the reward is not worth it atm.

[Zephyranthes]

My mistake about the ilvl. Yea, they're indeed both ilvl 100 after rechecking. The end fact still remains the same though that Animus weapons' stats are underpowered in relation to the effort you need to do.

[Itseotle]

effort you need to do.

Didn't know fate grinding required effort @__@ Have I been doing it wrong?

It requires patience, very little effort if you ask me.

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.

You can solo the entire line except for easy 4 mans, and the weapon will be continually upgraded in the next few mini patches. The reward is definitely worth it. And people going "YAH BUT, HIGH ALLAGAN WEAPON IS BETTER!". Yah, use that excuse when you are farming turn 9 every week.

Very good point.

The animus weapon with the stats you've seen is still not "done" yet. And that's the point.

Yep, I agree the reward isn't worth the amount of effort you have to put in it... To an extent. If you look at it in the long run, then it might be worth it. They will be adding in new upgrades to the weapon with later patches and soon we'll even be able to customise the stats on it iirc. I think by the very end it will be the best weapon.

So, in some ways its good to do it now, so as soon as those upgrades are made available, you're much closer to the goal.

That being said, I agree with Sove92. These later patches will also most likely include a buff to the atmas drop rates. Right now, I just don't feel it is worth the effort (despite the long term potential), especially when I can just get Levi X or Gerolt weapon for the same ilvl and have a much funner time doing it.
