Be happy it's soon.
It took forever for Atma to get anywhere.

Relic should not be made trivial to make. I'm making a second one now after all the buffs it has been given and I find it amazing that people really think it needs to be nerfed more. People who complain about wanting it to be made even easier should be forced to do it in the un-nerfed manners because it's hilarious how easy and fast it is now.

Says it all, thank you.

Right? The nerfs came while I was most of the way done with my second one (I had around 60% of the light and most of the Zodiac drops) and seeing how easy it was prompted me to start another one. I got through atma in a single day and am most of the way through my first animus book, along with having a few zodiac drops now. It's something to do, a pretty easy long(ish)-term goal for my spare time.

You're going to have to excuse the gaming community, op. It's currently impossible to mention a suggestion like this without people who already have something getting afraid of other people having it too. How else will they be able to feel "special"?

I've done the novus thing a couple times and while I agree with some of the people that that stage isn't so bad, it's pretty clear that there is no reason to be using fates when the yield is drastically lower than doing hunts for both soldiery and allied seals. Having options is nice I suppose, but I'm not a big fan of having "useless" methods in a game either, so I understand where you're coming from.

Why would anyone that has a Zodiac be "afraid" of other people having it too? It's not like it's a super duper rare raid drop or it makes mine less powerful if other people have it, so where's the logic here? I mean, without other people doing the Zodiac grind, our queue times wouldn't be nearly as fast and there'd be a much higher instance of running into new/undergeared people in the dungeons, which would further slow down our progress. I've got two and am working on my third, and I offer nothing but encouragement to those that are working on theirs, whether it be their first or their eighth. With that said, I do think that the relic should require an investement of your time as in the grand scheme of things it's still a really good weapon. Yes it's third best, but how many people can actually get a tomestone? How many people can actually get a Dreadwyrm? Of course the best weapons drop in Coil, which requires both skill and a time investment; relic is just time.

I really only farm alex from fates when I'm doing fates for other reasons (spiritbonding, GC seals, etc).

I wouldn't mind an increase in drop rate. Anyone who says otherwise already probably has Zodiac or one stage from it. Anyone still on Alex stage is three or four stages behind Zodiac. Then when 3.0 drops, they will be even further behind unless we get a completely new relic at lvl 60.

I'm working on my third. Drop rate's fine. It's not meant to be completely trivial.

They need to just make 5 Alex drop from chests, instead of just one. That would be a good change. Not everyone can grind fates all day or want to run around trying to do hunts because of the massive zergfest and highly unlikely we will get a reward anyway as things die before we even know they are up.

Get into a good hunt linkshell. Or just get alex with soldiery, the game practically throws it at you these days.

Zodiac continues in 3.1 so you have a whole patch of 3.0 to catch up.
