Why bother with ATMA now?

[Estellios]

It would be worth it if they bothered to boost the Atma drop rates in 2.3. The myth grind for Animus became waaaaay less obnoxious but there is no way in hell I would recommend people grind out the Atmas now that Unidentified tomestones are available to everyone and even if you don't get one you still get a decent amount of stones.

Is it true that coil is ending in patch 2.4? Will that be the last series in the Binding coil of bahamut? If so then what will happen to all that raid gear then, will that still be the best place to get the best weapons/gear or will something else take its place? According to some of the questions that were asked from the letter discussion forums, coil ends in 2.4, unless I misread somewhere and that those weapons and gear will not be the best forever. Thus, is it true that SE is trying to get away from storylines centered around primals? I'm just curious and would appreciate any information and/or thoughts on this. Thanks in advance

Yes, they said that 2.4 will be the last coil.
But that just means they will introduce a new raid series

I saw the difference between long term and short term players ^^;

You can obtain better weapons now without the stupid ridiculous grind.

Haven't looked at all the novus weapons, but it looks like thyrus is BiS because of det.

As far as relics go I got all the relics for the story line. You little a little bit of history and insight into the job. However animus does not offer story line. We also know that when the new coil comes out and we get i135 oil weapons. Novus will also be able to upgrade to i130 at the same time(unless they are behind schedule on it again). This means that the next stage after novus will be acquirable as a precursor to the HHA weapons. Remember novus was supposed to be 2.5 but it got pushed back to 2.9.

If i remember yoshi-p said that the relic would become the most powerful wep in the game. Like when Curtana become a Excalibur it be the top item in the game. He also said that they be more upgrade to Excalibur to make sure this legendary sword and the rest of the relics stay the most powerful ingame.

Sure he could end up changing his mind but he should pretty much tell us that now so we don't waste our time if that the case. I'm just going to keep doing it and hope he does not change his mind just to make player base that does not want to do it happy.

Why bother?
Because its part of the game, the lore, the story.
I don't know about you but I didn't buy this game to stand around in Mordohna looking fancy in gear I farmed from hunts.
