How the hell are you not banned and this post not deleted for dropping the F bomb? I was banned for 3 weeks just for saying " F you spell check " but I used the full F word...yea 3 week ban for that.

anyhoo, so to add something constructive to keep me from another ban...I agree with OP. I have 2 light stages to go and I begin the same dungeon grind and I do not look forward to it at all.

It must have been your context. I'm an adult and will speak whatever way I want within reason of course, and there is still always a filter, to... filter, explicity words.

Anyway, I only have 5 dungeons left, so I guess I'll see this ludicrous quest to the end. I've come this far... o.O

Lol yeah the moderators on this forum are ban happy.

They ban you for anything in these forums. They don't even give a warning or let you explain yourself.

I was once banned for linking to the shop page of a person's 3D printed chocobo project. Topic was about 3D printed ffxiv stuff. They said I was advertising. Gave me 2-week ban. Didnt even ask me to remove the link they just up and banned me.

Yeah, most people are reporting numbers that are totally legit for the drop rate everyone's been quoting (10%). 160 dungeon runs for Zodiac. Compare that with Nexus pre-patch, which took 250 dungeon runs (no bonus - 167 with bonus). Sure, you also need a bunch of resources, but those are honestly pretty trivial compared to the cost of the Novus step, especially if you went with DET as one of your maxed stats. Zodiac isn't that bad, it's just the lack of a progress bar that has people freaking out.

Personally, I've gotten 12 of the 16 dungeon drops so far. AV took me ~15 runs, HM HM took me ~18, and SV HM took me ~6. The rest were ~1-3. Because I overlapped my Animus books for PLD with my Zodiac dungeons for BLM, a ton of my runs counted for both relics, making it feel even quicker.

I'll have my BLM Zodiac (and PLD Animus) by tomorrow night, hopefully, unless I get really unlucky like some of the posters here to make up for my overall good luck. Honestly, all the stages feel like they're taking the same amount of time for me.

I can't even begin to fathom doing multiple weapons past the Atma stage...

Going for Longinus and that's all I'll be able to muster. Though to see the same RNG Hell from the old Atma days creeping up into the Zodiac stage isn't encouraging...

I did farm Dusk to Down the day before yesterday, got 1 item on the 30~40 Run i've done. As for Today, i've got 4 items (it was Full Moon lol).
But... i'm totally agree with the OP, the farming is going to make me crazy, i just want to insult the first new gamer that come with no exp/stuff in dungeon because i'm to tired to explain everything and lose time on it.

Farming Zodiac is making me really bad...

If developers want to keep us busy until 3.0, then give us something fun to do. Running the same dungeon 30+ times isn't fun. Gear progresses so quickly in this game, that if you don't hurry up and grind, by the time you get the relic, it's obsolete.

I'd have no problem working at a slower pace if I knew the weapon would still be relevant in 6 months.

The later stages of the relic are all about getting people back into older content. If the purpose is to get relic questers to help people through older stuff, then how about a bonus if there is a first timer in the group? Something like drop rate is boosted for that run for zodiac or bonus light for Nexus, etc.
