Grindus Weapon

[Lucem]

From the look of your helm abyssal blue might work better; that's the "adaberk blurple" if you're familiar with ffxi stuff.

Didn't even think to look in the blues >< just tried it and it does look like a better match! Thanks! ^^

Been on my Novus for quite a while - tbh, atma back then did syphon most of my motivation to do it, but got it done anyway; animus was only painful because of the FATEs (again! except this time with 300% more waiting); now with Novus... materia is just way awful. Spiritbonding either takes way too long and then it's praying to RNGesus, or takes way too long because gets way too expensive way too fast. And in a fraction of this time, anyone can get an alternative i100 weapon and upgrade it to i110 - heck, not even one but several. It's just not worth it wasting all the time and energy on it anymore. Which is really sad considering what it's supposed to be (lore-wise). So I'm just somewhere between 2 and 3; there's simply neither fun nor challenge to it anymore.

3) stopped after 3 books. Have to say this was all before the nerf and you still needed myth tomes. Other than that, my last atma took me 2 weeks of my break and I was already done with the whole.

I just wanted to see it through, but I wanted to sitll keep my social life and now I'm just lacking the time, cause I'm in my final year of college and soon I'll be job hunting. I won't ever have a zodiac for this reason, which.... sucks.

#3 and #4....

I also stopped at the books stage - and went to the Soldiery weapon.
I wouldn't mind so much if the books were just the dungeons, leves and the monster grinding - but the fates... the length of wait on a good number of them is just such a long waste of time in camping in one spot x_x and it's not like you can do anything else while you're sitting there. Really wouldn't want to craft in the middle of some of those areas, just to do something.

My other jobs and alt character went straight to Solidery...

3. I lost all interest when materia got introduced for novus so animus was stopped in its tracks. I'm not lending credence to greed.

Just to kill some time, I'd like know how you felt about the relic weapon questchains.

1) Done it all until the very end (so far)!
2) Progressing it and want go to the end!
3) Stopped at some point (say which one )
4) Never cared, usind dropped/tomes ones
5) Anything other.

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.

So now I go for dropped/tomes weapons and no care relic anymore.

Share your feelings

2 on several weapons, also 4 cause that's how the whole thing is designed so far, also 5 on account of hating these threads.

2)

The initial relic with titan hm as the road block is a good skill/job check - to bad many got carried and still to this day even with ilvl baggilion fail at it(this is what I do fer every job I hit 50)
Zenith was a bit of a grind at start until they started dropping myth like candy - really non content now-a-days
Atma - 1000 fates for the first non-upgrade - best troll ever - funny got the second one in 200 fates(pre nerf)
Animus - ok kill 1000 mobs, run dungeons(some you like some you don't), leves(hey atleast it helps towards those achievements see SE is thinking of us), FATES - I mostly got lucky but at one point due to bordem waited a whole day on the fates to pop
Novus - this for me was good progression - at worst it would atke you 75 days to get all the alexandrite - couple that with SBing and stuff along the way and you would have everything you needed by that point
Nexus - 2000 light is way too much of a grind - I've gotten my novus before the nexus dropped and have basically been doing normal every day things each day(drex, drtrials, dr high every so often, raids, exs etc...) I haven't even reached 1000 light and I even suffered through 2 1h long light farms - I don't plan on doing that anymore but will be running some other stuff with friends
Zodiac - not bad - get mts, find a 3 star crafter, do some dungeons for rng drops(this can be good or bad) and do it...

3.

I stopped after Animus and am not sure if I will continue. Waiting for rare FATEs to spawn for the books was absolutely horrible.

When I think about what is involved with continuing, I wonder... "Why?" It just doesn't seem worthwhile anymore.
