Suggestion - Atma and desynthesis

[Inzoum]

Hey there,

Atma are special items that are utilized as part of the Zodiac weapon quest and as such we do not have plans of using them in other content such as desynthesis.

Well, it's nice to know my suggestion at least got some attention, even if you're not moving forward with it. I just hope that at the very least, it helped put in light the two issues that are the current Atma drop rate (vs the time needed to solo FATEs now that everyone's done zerging them), and the overly excessive amount of Fieldcraft III Demimateria required to upgrade the tools to Supra

sorry airget gotta disagree with re-posting that. Atma drops have been the BIGGEST controversy with very few comments from devs, without so much as a "No we are not increasing atma drop rate THIS patch" The vast community would like a response and instead get something like this. The other option is that they have been slowly increasing drop rates and dont want to tell people hey we really messed up so this is us fixing it. I have seen a lot more people cheering about how they are getting atma's more and more and no i don't believe they "just" won at rng. If they did, be nice if they just came out and said so.

My first 7 atmas I wasn't even trying to get them. I'd pass through the zone doing other things and would get them on my first 1-3 FATEs. Atmas 8, 9 and 10 took a bit of farming but nothing serious. Atma 11 took me 4 days of farming FATEs for 2-3 hours per day. Atma 12 I got it in my first 3 FATEs.

Regardless, I don't think that the vast community is complaining that much about atmas.

This may be the case in your circle on Phoenix, but I assure you it's a very different tune for mine. We're all incredibly frustrated by the grind that is ATMA and the books. We just don't regularly gripe about it on the forums. And I'm fairly sure that's the case for a number of others as well.

Now, that said, I can't entirely fault Square for wanting to make the relics something you work for. However, I think an average reported time of 60-70 real time hours working on this, on top of everything else I've got to do in game (beast tribes, dungeons, leveling alt classes, gathering, etc.), is a bit ridiculous and generally not worth the effort in it's current state.

That's why I made my earlier suggestion. This doesn't have to be fancy, but they need to throw us some kind of bone!

People still complain about Atmas...? I figured people had their Atma Weapons by now, why don't you play the game instead of complaining. As for desynthing them, makes no sense to do so to me.

First of all, deal with it.
If you want Fieldcraft IIIs, there's PLENTY of them from 2 star furniture.
10 of those for the tool upgrade isn't much

The problem lies in that you might also be going the GSM artisan spectacles route which has a better chance for Mastercraft than Fieldcraft for obvious reasons: Artisan tools and spectacles were meant to be a source of Mastercraft.

Second of all, Fieldcraft from Atma? If ANYTHING it should be BATTLECRAFT because you know, its acquire through COMBAT and not from doing any Gathering or Crafting. And it still doesn't make sense to have those desynthable.

Now go make furniture and WRECK IT

Not enjoyable but it makes fates still relevant to the game instead of it dying off in high levels that's the obvious intention of it all. To make new players see other high lvl players and encourage them to continue. More money in SE's pockets. Deal with it or don't do it. It's not that hard to decide.

This idea is excellent. +1

But they should still increase the atrocious drop rate.
