Demiatma drop rates are unacceptable

[Akira]

im not even trying for relics this time around, this game can't get me to stay entertained to do that grind for something that ends up meaningless except for glamour

Here's my issue with farming demiatma in DT zones, let alone "target farm your last demiatmas in a DT zone:" this crap is like a year old. Unless you have a personal vendetta against being in OC, I'd rather be running the new content, steadily maxing-out phantom jobs and earning silver pieces for somewhat relevant alt-gearing and scoring random stuff in chests while participating in FATEs in there and even CEs (with a reported better drop rate). Heck, if you're chasing FATEs with a semi-active party or even playing solo on tank, you can get full-credit on FATE bosses that die in under half a minute as opposed to potentially spending upwards of 5 minutes on one DT FATE, pending the zone's active players.

You could make an argument that the verdigris demiatma is the most egregious, (I have an FC mate with a story on this one; spending their day-off in Kozamauka with no drops at all), but unless you've already maxed-out your shared FATEs in all zones and can buy the mount vouchers, increasing your reputation in just that one zone is more or less useless, even for crafting mats, as Cosmic Exploitation is a thing now.

I mean, you do you for whichever of the two methods you prefer, but even as someone who completed the DT shared FATEs, I'm so over them that I couldn't imagine going back there and wasting a whole day on one entire zone again.

This was absolutely the devs' intentions

At the end of the expansion and early game next expansion it's the best weapon. It's not just glamour.
