So.. How are the zodiac quests now?

[Calypsx]

Just wondering if things have been sped up, kind of want excalibur for glamour.

[Maero]

Everything has been increased according to the patchnotes. Light increase, dungeon drop rate increase, etc.

[BreathlessTao]

According to patch notes, everything has been (further) nerfed - but the materia infusions for Novus. Then again, materia prices are pretty much wrecked now (at least from what I saw on my server), so there's that part to it....

I spent a lot of time to get all Alexandrites and now you get 5 from one chest x] Now I have too much.

I'm curious what the ATMA drop rate is like now, because while just about the last thing I want to do right now is run around doing low level FATEs all day, I have half a set of ATMA in a retainer's inventory and might as well put the set on a weapon and free up the inventory space. If I had to run more than three FATES for each ATMA I think that would suck considering all the other ways I could use the time.

I'm still getting light for my pally gear but it seems to be between 25%-50% faster there.

[Thayos]

Keep in mind there is no reason to get the best materia for a glamor weapon.

[Calypsx]

What about the books?

[VirusChris]

As far as I recall... only the enemy count has been reduced in books. So instead of 10 of each 10 monsters, it's only 3.

Every thing else is the same. Though FATEs respawn time is between 30 minutes to an hour now and with the Underparty feature you can get a Level 50 - 60 player to help you and burn through the old dungeons like nothing.

Oh nice! I've been wanting my zodiac staff for a long time now.
