    Thanks, S-E!

    Good on the developers for streamlining the Novus and Nexus legs of the Zodiac Braves Relic series by increasing Alexandrite drops via FATEs and increasing lights for Nexus. Before reading the patch notes, I was considering abandoning my Thyrus & Yoshimitsu projects because the steps after Animus looked nearly impossible even with the daily Alexandrite quest (In my case, I had to burn 20 of them redoing the stats on my Veil of Wiyu prior to making it Apocalypse). Now it seems more doable and less tedious.

    Again, thank you for this.

    Yeah... let's celebrate AFTER the patch has been added. We still don't know if this drop rate is going to be significant enough to even consider, especially given that current drop rates are at around 1%. An 'increase' may be barely noticeable anyway.

    Still hoping they do something about the Atma>Animus Books. 2 hour spawn time on fates is kind of ridiculous.

    Well thats wrong thought like they said before if waiting for fate for book you might need kill fates around area to make pop faster.

    Try that with Taken, Giant Seps and Taste of Fear and get back to me. Done books twice now and It's easily the worst part of getting making a Nexus.

    To me - the fates weren't bad at all - because I could do them when I didn't have time to play. So if I had to do some work, clean the place, play a console, watch tv, etc. - i could have the game running in the background - and when the fate music came on I could spend a few minutes completing the fate, move to the next fate location and go back to my other stuff. It was a cake walk.

    Dunno about those specific FATEs (could never be bothered enough to observe), but yeah, I did do that pretty much every time and - it helped absolutely nothing. At least it's especially annoying on bigger maps, trying to do that. Also, you might do that, but it's kind of the farthest thing away from "fun". Most people get enough of FATEs while leveling up, sending us back to do even more of them, not once but twice (after atma here) is just cruel, especially with these notorious ones on special timers. Because I refuse to believe they aren't and that nothing can be done about them, literally seen other FATEs pop four or five times (if not more) by the time one in my book finally popped.



    DEAR FORUM AUTHORITY PEOPLE, PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF F×××, REMOVE THIS RIDICULOUS, EASILY-CIRCUMVENTABLE CHARACTER LIMIT ALREADY, THANK YOU VERY MUCH.

    I had one alexandrite drop from a fate and haven't seen one after I turned my shield into novas.

    I just been slowly working on my sword, though fates stopped dropping them and I haven't got one and I do a ton of fates all the time and spread out to each fate I think the drop rate has to be like 0.01% ain't no way its higher than that.

    Tried the method of clearing fate in the area to force the needed fate to pop. However I recalled several times that when I did this, sometimes I couldn't dash back to the position in time if the needed fate pop since there are some who's already camping there or the new comers are there just on time to clear the fate.
