How hard is it to get Animus now?

[Obysuca]

I finished my Atma quest line and I'm casually doing my Animus books. The quest is pretty much the same except it's easier to get mythos for the books.

It still sucks.

This. It's easier to get books faster, just by doing roulettes. Only problem that sucks are the ragequitters on dungeons you need, like Stone Vigil or something :/ Oh and those fates that can take all day. I sat from noon until 9pm at night, Seps did not spawn until 9:45pm -.- It's like camping a nm without a ToD lol

Or perhaps the dozen or so other MMO's who managed to toe this line perfectly fine and still make the grind fun and interesting. It doesn't need to be nearly as boring as it currently is.

That said, once you've got Atma the 'grind' does become at least a little more interesting (myth notwithstanding) rather than mindlessly spamming the same low level, no-reward Fates you've been getting tired of since level 30.

I have not been bored once in the whole quest line, so that's completely subjective and entirely based on your approach to the weapons.

The relic upgrade is something you can (if you love to push a grind hard) do very quickly, or you can do very slowly. Since it started, I'm currently on my 7th Animus book for my first weapon. Some people had finished this within a crazy short time. But really, it's also there for players who don't have the will or time to commit to pushing Coil 2, and these players are naturally going to be taking their time with the whole thing. The overall results are quite nice, but definitely not needed, for a player like myself.

Technically, you can get the i110 tome weapon in 3 weeks after it came out, which was like 2 months ago. i110 novus came out like a week ago. By the time a player gets a novus, he would have probably attained his tome weapon and made use of it for a while. Any sense of boost you get from the animus will be near minimal.

I have yet to do any Coil, so I'm as far from an i100 tome weapon as I am the i110 version. I'll likely have my Novus before I even get to having such a weapon - in fact, I'd be getting a tome weapon for a different job than my main. Not everyone is capable (for many reasons) of just hopping into Coil and getting their weapons from there. But for those who can do that, they have already had access to better weapons and those are there for those players. The Novus is something that hardcore grinders can get pretty quickly (probably just as quick as beelining for an i110 tome weapon), or that casual/midcore players can simply progress towards. And this lets the latter type keep up over a longer period of time, assuming they keep up with it.

Please enlighten us with details. This information may be worth millions to the MMO industry.

myth is easier to get.

i really wonder why people keep saying this. myth is not easier to get, they just changed the amount you get from 3 of the dailies and CT. thats it. all this did was raise the amount you can get per day doing dailies, and thats it.

Atma is a walk in the park compared to Novus. If atma is too much for you, then you don't want to know about Novus. MMOs are designed to have content that allows players to play for a long time. If you want something short and sweet, either play single player games or online shooters like COD.

IMO atma is the worst part of the quest because it's a 1%based RNG and you can spend several hours/days/week making 0progress.
atma can take longer than brayfarming your 1500*9 tomes.

Indeed. Instead of doing dailies, aside from the trial one, you'd probably make more myth just spamming Brayflox. So in reality, it may be easier for the people who don't wanna burn themselves out (hopefully the majority), but the fastest/most efficient way to get myth hasn't changed. And I still have other things I'd rather spend 1500 myth on. =/

Just got my atma like 2 days ago, what I wanna know is does the stats increase after every book I complete or do all books have to be complete to get a stat increase?

[Osmond]

No, it's not hard. It would be best to get them in your own pace. If u want to get them out of the way quick u can, but you'll burn out faster. I don't mind it, after all it was expected for MMOs.

They do go up after each book.

I don't think you understand why people have issues with the Atma quest. It's not that it takes long. It's getting Atma's that annoy people.
