Anima Prediction: How we will customise stats

[pikster]

I like to imagine that the devs have a whiteboard with the sentance...

"The next stage of anima is *Insert old dead content here*"

And they just keep that there until the next expansion and change anima to whatever is next...

So this next step? Who knows? Guildhests? Levequests? 5000 Titan SM runs?

As long doesn't use Materia melding again or stupid expensive crafting things is ok. I like something like the Animus books (but without FATEs that take ages to spawn).

You have to choose between differnet book. Each book will give you a determined ammount of an specific stat. For example, for Tanks, you can chose between Parry, Critical hit Rate, Determination, and Skill Speed, and accuracy maybe. THe basic stats, like VIT and STR will be automatically corrsponding the item level als always. We can put every book give you 20 of a single stats, so you can use 6 Determination book for a maximun of 120 Det, but once you reach the cap on a stat, you cannot get more books from that type. This can take some time and people won't be struggling with the stupid high prices from Market board to meld materia and get the perfect relic, (like hapens with the fucking Novus)

I like the idea of choosing a book to get the wanted stats.
The only thing I hated in the book (and I think, most of us hated) was camping Fate. I hope they put some fate, but more like "3-10 fate in xxx or yyy zone" instead of specific Fate.
Likewise, for killing mobs, i'd rather have kill 100 from a list of mob instead of 10x10 of this specific kind (cause it'll be another battle of first to get aggro if it's specific)

How to customize anima. Be war. Have crit+det anima. Done customizing

[Brownondorf]

Bard relic doesn't need customization, its already awesome! if they go with the materia way, it will be totally pointless because we'll put the same stats on it...

[The_NPC]

it could go a way we'd never expect like: Fight "this" so many times or grind so many of "these" turn it select Primary 2ndary stat -> select 2ndary, 2ndary stat -> done with primary being 60% of total pool for 2ndary stats.... Gods I wish it was that simple -_-! but knowing SE it shalth never be, even thou 3.25 stage was stupid simple for some reason

[Jamillion]

I'm really hoping Gerolt is just like "Yo, which stats do you want on this thing?"

Barring that, I hope the quest is to do something to get bottles of booze for Gerolt, each stat point can cost a bottle, and it won't be because he needs it to work, he's just trying some hair of the dog to shake off the hangover from drinking half the aether oil you brought back.

[Ragology]

They use relic steps to breath life into old content, right? I figure they might throw people back into diadem.

And also 20 items that only drop from the last boss in Aurum Vale.

[Canadane]

A lot of people say the Diadem is dead.
While it may not be serving it's original purpose, it is still the fastest way to accrue grade V materia.
I find parties going, full alliances even, at times.

obtain 1000 ultima weapon fragments in the praetorum, obtain 1000 white magitek plates from castrum merdanum, obtain 1000 soul fragments from the aetherial research facility, obtain 1000 pieces of "sickness must be pruged" from the vault complete that rare fate in the forelands with the tortoise solo,,,,collect 2000 steel sky pirate spoils in the diadem, or 2000 brass
