Seriously people, get your soldiery weapon and stop torturing yourselves over a shiny. If you recognize that the atma system is broken (and if you do, boy you're gonna love spirit bonding for that novus!) why do you keep bashing your heads into it? It took me 40 hours to get my atma. 2 weeks of non stop farming to get my animus. Got to Novus and noped my way out of that stupid grind. Save yourself the trouble. They aren't even, and will never be, the best weapons in the game.
