Impossible to complete books solo?

[NathanDrake]

I didn't mind collecting atma from fates, getting 1500 myth per book. I have got to my 6th book and have the (Four Winds Fate) This is impossible to do solo, you have to kill 4 of them, north, south, east and west. It took me 6 mins to down one, went to the second one and got about 1/4 of his life down and he kept getting stoneskin which takes ages to break. It's impossible to do it in the amount of time you have.

This has ruined the game for me now, I did shout for help but nobody came. It's impossible for me to get a huge group and to get them to wait a few hours for the fate to pop. I just wish I knew about this before I started the atma. This has really put me off the game.

I had problems with "Four Winds Fate" too. You need 2-3 people to complete it. I just check that it's up once and awhile, and there's bound to be other people doing it. I almost resorted in calling my FC for help.

This is a MMO, not a single player game.

ARR has too much single player content so some players treat it as a single player game.

You could always camp it by yourself and then request help from people in an LS/FC. Ideally, let them know beforehand that you need help (so that they'd be aware and willing to help) and that you'll say when it pops. Some of these things that are required of players to do are very unbalanced for some servers/players, but for the time being, that's what you have to do. You may need to pay for help too if anything, but none of this is unusual if you're used to group required content in MMORPGs.

... did you miss the part where he tried to get help?

Though to be fair, I'm not sure if this one thing is worth quitting a game over. Just try the Fate again at a better time maybe?

ARR has too much single player content so some players treat it as a single player game.

Yet I recall barely a few weeks back the multitudes weeping for more solo content.
As to which it is, seems subjective.


As for the OP's concerns, you could always request others to help you with the FATE's/Dungeons/Leves that what some people have done, sometimes even a duo with Chocobos is more than enough.

[IfritReborn]

If you participate in it, fail it, and then wait for it to respawn, it'll be nerfed so that you can solo it. By that time someone else is bound to come running in also needing to do that FATE

Also interrupt the cast of the stone skin

[Valmar]

Shouting for Help is one thing, but over the course of leveling from 1-50, gearing out for end-game, one would assume he would have made friends, joined a FC, or several LS's. Maybe if he did ask, and no one came to help, maybe everyone was busy, or the OP isnt a very helpful guy, thus no one wants to help him. Bottom line we dont know. but it sounds like he tried the FATE once, while shouting in zone for help, no one came to his aid, he failed, and now he wants to quit. One will not get very far in life if one quits after one failure.

Four winds can not be soloed, there are many forum threads on this fact. However 2 people with really good chocos/gear or 3 people + chocos can kill it. To say the game is ruined in an mmo, esp as your approaching the end of your book, and almost done with books completely is just sad. I did 4 winds while speed running brayflox about every 2 runs(14minish) the fate would be up. the longest I went without seeing it was 40min. tons of people are out there and will usually come if you shout. I also understand that its so far out there its hard for people to actually get out there. Now the fates that take over 4hours to spawn even up to 8 hours those are more ridiculous then a fate that you can't solo but can duo.
