- The items needed to complete each of the Zodiac Weapons side quests listed below will now be awarded to players every time they clear the required dungeon.

A Ponze of Flesh / Labor of Love / Method in His Malice / A Treasured Mother

- The rate at which weapons gain soul attunement and soul resonance has been increased for certain duties.

- Soul attunement and soul resonance levels will now increase even if players complete duties with an undersized party.

I have a friend doing the old relic to avoid the atma phase on the new relic. I mean I think he really hates atma farming, but is this a thing?

It seems to me that doing the old relic to skip the first phase of the new relic would take longer. I know it got nerfed to all hell though, so maybe I'm wrong.

I farmed the crystals and it took me like 3-4 nights of just random farming, so it didn't seem bad to me.

PLD (which is going to get my fifth Zeta) isn't exactly AOE king... Need either two Circle of Scorns (on long cooldown) to kill the mobs in these low dungeons, or one and then finish dozens of these mobs individually. Which is time consuming and isn't too fun.
My SMN breezed through Sastasha in less than 4 minutes though.

Also a good tip for starters going for second relic is to combine Atma books stage with Zeta 16 dungeons stage, by doing overlapping dungeons only once you can save a few hours.
