Fates Spawn rate is STILL too low (for the Relic Book quests) ...

[Colorful]

I prefer Atma/Novus than Zodiac phase... it's really horrible.

I prefer the Zodiac myself, it took me around 100ish total runs to complete that so around average luck, but I still found it better than farming for Alexandrite.

While i didn't do the Novus stage i take atma over book stage any time.
At least with atma you were doing something even if it is rng.
Fates for the book stage? Sitting in the middle of nowhere waiting for 5min-6 hours for a fate to pop and then make sure you have to get gold.

That's why I suggested removing the FATEs, other than those you were always doing something, and a variety of things rather than farming FATEs.
