Hunts and fates

Fates are viable now? I heard of people doing 300 dates and getting one. That exaggerated?

If it's possible, people will do it. The original Atma drop rates are proof of that.

I think Alex drops rates are worse than the pre-nerf Atma drop rates, I've only ever got 2 Alex from god knows how many FATE's :P

Regarding the fates on the animus books - I must have been the only one who didn't mind them. After killing 100 mobs and doing a few outdated dungeons - Id typically grow tired of the game. I'd move to the fate location and start doing things around the house, work, etc. and woukd swing by whenever I heard the fate music come on. I feel that I could knock out all three while getting things done around the house. Was somewhat relaxing.

About, me:
3) I stopped at the books stage. I feel them so grindy I really have aborted any willing to go ahead at the point that I dunno if return to it, even if that part will be eased in the future

This is where I pretty much gave up myself. Too many books... too many tomes... to long of waits on stupid FATEs... It just got boring and idiotically grindy, plus, I dont really have the means or gil to finish the Alex stage, which will cost me tens of millions or more.

I've done it all, however

Getting said relic in 2.0 wasn't too bad, it was a decent challenge for the time.
Zenith was well just a tome cap.
Atma was a little bit of a pain, however nothing intensive, its not meant to be rushed in honesty, took me bout a week or two.
Animus took FOREVER, 1,500 myth for 1 BOOK then doing said book. thats 30 brayflox speed runs at the time.
Novus wasn't so bad, Hunts made it alot easier to manage, getting approx 15-20 Alexandrite a day.
Nexus was again, not too bad, just play how you normally would and boom it levels up.

1) Done it all until the very end (so far)!

... and looking forward to next stage.

Mind me asking how many hours it takes per day to get 15 to 20 alexandrite a day from hunts and your strategy?

It was a lot easier when B ranks gave 5 seals apiece. It's not much, but it adds up over time. I think the most I ever got in a day was 9, but then again I never hunted more than like 8 hours at a stretch, either.

it took me quite a few, honestly i wanted it out of the way so i put a bit of a grind into it. but when i did it mythology existed (r.i.p) but heres what i did.

Expert Roulette = 1 map.
Weekly Hunt = 50 seals.
A ranks = 20 Seals + 80 tomes
S Ranks = 50 seals. + 200 tomes
Mysterious Map exchange = 800 tomes.

1 Alexandrite = 200 seals.

So, for every 10 A ranks i'd kill, which is just short of 1 hunt cycle, id get 1 piece of alexandrite, and a map, of which then is a basic rinse repeat process, S ranks speed this up with the 50 seal bonus and the 200 tomes jump, Weekly does this also for your 50 seals. On the off day i didn't decide to fully grind in this process, id still grab 10 alexandrite. But, now mythology has gone, its a bit more tedious to get Soldiery for said alexandrite exchanges.

If you wanted to go even further, you can also obtain alexandrite from fates, simply do fates when not in said expert roulette, or waiting for another hunt cycle to activate

but hope this helps.
