SE why??

[JonBigwood]

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

Please Look Forward to It!

Of course Atmas will drop easier, and later also Alexandrites, who also drop with FATEs, but not very soon, I suppose.

People have made a lot of effort for their Animus weapons, and also for their End game drop weapons, just because they are better than the Animus.

I'm not saying anything about the myth grind being an endless wait. I'm saying that having AOE farm being the optimal way of running dungeons is bad and will have negative side effects. I don't even know if you're reading posts at this point. I mean it's certainly not perfectly designed and I sure don't think I'm going to be getting 500 Myth as fast as a farming group by going through four roulettes. It's just becoming another daily grind at that point

I mean honestly we're in agreement here. You just can't stand a flaw in the design being point out and want to show me how it's really not a problem because I have the option of just leveling up the optimal class! So there's really no issue with some classes being bad for dungeon runs because you can just level up an optimal class! I mean if they go with this myth grind for the next step I guess I'll do just that. Though it's certainly not "no issue" because I need to cap out another class to reduce my daily chore farming.

I finished the atma and aminus grinding but I decided to quit as I predict the game will require me to invest more and more time in boring content. To maintain the progress, one have to do at least daily roulettes and the weekly binding coil, but the weapon quest just takes up all my daily limited playing time and even some of my rl and I can't see the end as SE can extend it indefinitely. One may say that you don't need to do it if you don't like, if I have that mentality, I won't be a MMO player, and that's y I quited. I am not saying that grinding is not a good thing as it is a good time killer when one gets nothing to do, but I just prefer to spend my time doing more pleasure rl things.

The worst part is that for classes like SCH the relic weapon quest line is actually BiS slot at the moment. So as someone who mains SCH I don't have too much incentive of doing t9 for the book. As the high allagan gives +46 crit and +26 piety( scholars are not starved for piety as they have a low cost physic and get free heals from pet on top of having aetherflow and drain) The novus weapon can have +44 crit and +31 det, so the difference in crit is negligible and with det I will get bigger heals over all. So...if relic was intended to be second BiS then the system is terrible as this is obviously not true and on top there's no guarantee that they will ever get passed the atma part of the quest line....so that's not really fair with coil at least SOMETHING drops.

Update: As of 2.3, the Animus and Novus upgrades will be getting easier with all the increased myth gains from bosses and dungeon completions! But atma questline is still solely based on luck. Yoshi and the devs have decided that an RNG only system is still the logical way to go. This makes me ROFL. They have lost touch with reality i think. They deliberately decrease the time needed to complete the second and third parts of the weapon upgrade, yet do nothing to help those who are not as lucky as everyone else.

As the great Yoshi would say: Please look forward to it, but its working as intended so screw you guys. HAHAHAHHAHAHA!

Divine, I spent 50 hours grinding my 12 atma. It was by far the most irritating part of the quest. I can tell you how it's worth it and all but I know when you're getting no reward after days of grinding it starts to feel pretty hopeless. My best advice is to just take a break from the frustration and do something else for a few days.

Update, as of the opening of this thread, still stuck at three atma. At least 4 hours a day farming different areas. Just about ready to give up on this if it wasn't for the fact i prefer the stats of the eventual whm novus over the high allagan. -facepalm- sort it out square enix! at least increase the drop rate. (can someone confirm, current drop rate of atma is about 3%?)

It took me one week and 391 FATEs to get my ATMA, mind you I only did FATEs and nothing else while logged in. I'm sure if I did roulette and other in game stuff I will still not have my ATMA. It's not fair for ppl who don't have much time to play, prob why it's taking a lot of ppl 2-4 weeks to complete! It feels good having it! I will be getting my first book after update

Also watching a movie or listening to music really helps ease the boredom of the grind. Music was my salvation!
