Demiatma drop rates are unacceptable

[Arongar]

I've grinded for several relics in the past, and while there was a grind I never felt like I was truly wasting my time. It's different this time around. Maybe I just got lucky in the past.

I don't see a world where SE tested how it "Feels" to grind demiatma. I've spent roughly 7 hours grinding fates between zones and have gotten ZERO drops. My time is too valuable for this shit.

I don't expect everything to be "handed" to me, but I want my time to be valued. At this point there needs to be some sort of pity system. Maybe for every fate you do, and don't get a demiatma, increase the drop rate? I'm not sure what the best solution is, all I do know is...I'm skipping this relic. I was so excited for a new relic. To finally have a new chase in the game, but this is just awful. So disappointing. It's like SE has not learned anything in 10+ years of development. It's no wonder why players have been bailing on this game lately. Soon, I might be joining them.

I just don't feel like this game is for me anymore.

The drop rate is about 25% from CEs, so I recommend those.

I've got 8 Atma from 34 CEs, which is pretty good considering CEs spawning constantly. The drop rate probably isn't very good from FATEs, considering I've got 0 from 12 FATEs.

Drop rates are fine. I got over 7 of each just levelling to 20 and my jobs.

Since you're only doing this once, I think it's in fact a little high of a drop rate.

10-15% for me so far. Probably like 2-3% from fates, but yes CEs seem a lot higher chance.

i don't think it's 25% otherwise I would be done lol

You seem to have gotten lucky. I'm not level 20 yet... and yes, I have gotten a few from CE's. the problem is they're all the same fucking color. The whole point of doing the fates outside of CE is to target the colors you need. Riddle me this, if we only need 3 of each color, and we only need to do it once, why is it even possible to get more than 3 of a color we don't need? It's shit design made to waste the players time, plain and simple. The first night I ran OC doing CE's for 4 hours and I got one demi....ONE. so yeah, maybe I'm unlucky, but I know I'm not the only one as this isn't the only thread on the forums like this. Saying "Well I got mine easy enough" Isn't enough to say that the drops rates are "Fine". That's like saying "I've never been mugged so crime isn't a problem"

that's where I said we should be able to trade the one we don't need for a other color and have a vendor that can buy them but for high gold or silver piece

[Carin-Eri]

I, for one, agree.

I had the day off work today. Decided to try and grind for some Demiatma. Spent all morning and a good chunk of the afternoon jumping between OC and running FATES in Dawntrail zones hoping to obtain one or two at least.
Know how many Demiatma's I obtained?

None.

And to be honest, I'm not even remotely interested in trying anymore. Forget OC and these 'Relics' - I have absolutely no interest in wasting any more time on this shitty excuse for content.

Yeah...not a bad idea at all.
