Completing a book every 3 days is hardly "being left in the dust"...

Completing a book every 3 days is hardly "being left in the dust"...

First of all this is a comment in reference to what happened in WoW, certain classes getting less popular because they can't AOE Nuke being left in the dust. It's something that happens when dungeons get too easy to AOE. It also promotes a real crappy style of play in my opinion.

Though getting 50 Myth about every 5 minutes while compared to doing what 3 or 4 roulette? It's certainly a disparity. It's irritating to see people who desperately want more dungeon farm badge grinds. I guess if the devs are listening to you I really will have to level a BLM, tank, or healer simply to get my relic on my DPS charcter.

If you want it in a couple of days, yes - otherwise the disparity is non existent. You can just do roulette and do a book every 3 days, which is hardly being left in the dust, hence my comment. I know he was referencing WoW but nothing of the sort is happening here, so there's no comparison to be made. There are other ways to get myth besides speedrunning Brayflox, and they are perfectly viable for any class, unless you're in a hurry. If you really want it now and are willing to spend hours farming the same dungeon... you can put in a little more extra effort and do it with the most desired class.

Changing class is not an option, you would obtain the upgrade for another job's weapon.

I was talking about farming myth with Brayflox speedruns.

I think he means specifically for the myth farming. I've been doing my MNK's weapon, but all of the atma and a lot of the myth farming has been done on BLM.

EIDT: Beaten, but kinda funny that I've been doing exactly what's 'not an option', though it's just a coincidence. I had BLM leveled already.

Well it's not happening yet. Though if you continue to see this trend of the preferred way of running dungeons being AOE spam you'll have a lot of trouble finding non-roulette groups. Especially if there will be a tome nerf each extra part of this relic there is, unless they start Soldiery Tomes for the next branch with this nerf in place to begin with. Honestly my issue isn't the grind but instead the style of which current content dungeons are being run.

Also roulettes take time. I mean are you doing all yours in under an hour? I guess it all depends on your luck having to do 4 roulettes a day is a little much. Of course I'm sure you'll reassure me it's the same exact thing as being able to get 10 tomes a minute.

If they keep this design for the next relic I'll definitely be leveling a BLM.

This is what I meant. Sorry if it wasn't clear.

Dude, if you want to speedrun, you'll have to use the fastest party, otherwise what kind of speedrun is it? This game is throwing myth at you everywhere. You have maps, you have beast tribes, you have roulettes, dungeons and raids, and soon we'll have even more options, with frontlines and whatnot. If you want the fastest way, which currently is AoE trash mobs down in Brayflox, then you're gonna have to play a job that does just that, it seems pretty logical. Otherwise, you can get myth in other ways - that don't take that much more time and you can do it in other ways. Again, a book every 3 days is not and endless wait. I'm doing just that btw. It's perfectly designed to be completed by any class at the same amount of time - and with the armory system, anybody can take the "Brayflox shortcut" regardless of the weapon they want to upgrade. There is no issue.


Anyway, this is about Atma, not Animus, so I'll stop here. For OP I've got not much to say except keep trying. I got 7 Atmas in 2 days and the 8th after 3 weeks of nothing. Just don't obsess over it, do some FATEs while you wait for other things and eventually you'll have 12. The more you think about it the more it'll piss you off, so don't. If it makes you feel better, it's downhill from there.

A lazy and uninteresting system isn't made by better by accessibility.

[Valmar]

two 20 hour sessions of Straight Fate farming, right when the patch released, amounting to just about 1000 Fates.

Then

about a Week and a half to finish the books.

I suspect some time in 2.35 or 2.4 SE will increase the drop rates for Atma Stones.

Please Look Forward to It!
