Currently I'm working on my first atma weapon, now at book 3 out of total 9.

I think Zodiac weapon quests is COMPLETELY waste of time, energy, and a quick way to lose my interests to the game.

For us to get relic weapons, we go through quests, dungeon , kill hydra/chimera and 3 primal hard mode, they are all fun/challenging to do. And if we want a 2nd relic weapon, we use a different job, and we learn different playing technique, have different role, and fun. I have all 9 relics, I like to play different jobs, and I enjoy when I try to get my 9 relic weapons.

To get atma weapons, it's only pain, no fun. We will need to spend loads of time to get atma, loads of time to get enough myth (1500) for a book, loads of time to participate FATES, killing mobs in order to finish one book, not to mention we have 9 books for 1 single weapon. To get ONE animus weapon, we just need LOADS of time, that's it. No SKILLS required, No CHALLENGES required, No FUN required, lots of Boredom.
