Got it, finally!

Artemis Bow Atma

Now to quit FATEs forever.

How much better are the stats?

The stats of the base Atma Weapon are the same as the relic zenith, just 10 ilvls higher. The stats only get better after you complete the Atma books you buy with ToM. The weapon doesn't glow anymore and the DRG one changed color, I haven't seen the rest yet.

I'm 11/12 since the patch and my average has been about 2-3 hours per atma. The least amount of time I spent on one was around 45 minutes.

The worst? Central Shroud. Overall close to 27 hours combined and close to 500 fates in that zone alone towards the achievement.

(The only reason I know it's close to 27 hours is because I've gone through 112 Venture coins doing the quick method for two retainers).

EDIT: Meant Central Shroud. Sadly, still working on Central Thanalan.

I was on a bit of a roll, getting a total of 7 atma. Now I've spent the last 7 hours in Western Thanalan with nothing in site. The zone sucks for this simply cause Fates are so infrequent, not to mention the size of terrain to need to travel to get to the next one. So half the time, you get to the 2nd one and it's 90% complete.

I've put maybe 12 total hours in, maybe more. I have 4/12. One was on FATE #2, another was a 1/1, and the last two were within 8 FATES. My problem is that if my luck isnt pulling it within 8, I move on to other things. It is probably why I only have 4. I think my max in one sitting was 25 FATES in a row.

I seem to have MUCH better luck in parties. 3 of mine were obtained in parties, while 1 was by myself. And I have probably spent more time solo.

RNG hates me by default, that is important to know. But as long as the map has a lvl 49+ FATE on it, I am happy to grind as long as I need to spiritbond my full zircon sets, and crafting sets =)

Have you seen how much even crafting 1 materia are going for? WOW.

Don't mistake that for sadness. I'm happy people have to choose, I'm sick of all the upstart bards who only play it so they can get quick coil invites. #Bard4LifeOrUntilWeGetRanger

can yo star the quest on lets say brd but then change to another job (thats wearing zenith) do FATEs and still get drops or do i have to do it on the job i started the quest on?

The rng is suddenly on my side... Six atma in the past two nights, leaving me just one short.

Maybe Garuda Ex was my good luck charm?

The Atma gods they just loooooooove me!!!!

I finished my atma weapon on Friday, and yesterday finished my 3rd book. http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/1718060/

(That being said, even though I finished my Atma weapon in two days I do remember my first Atma took me 4 hours, and my last one took me 5 hours. So I know how it can be out there. All the Atma's in between were just a blur as I was in the zone.) LOL

I came here to see if anyone had gotten their 4th book and completed it yet? I was hoping that our base dmg and stuff would change to at least the i95 dmg after the 4 books, and then maybe the i100 dmg after the 9th book. But that's just wishful thinking, was wondering if anyone knew this yet.

Imagination... I did a zone yesterday with few people in it and some fates we had to do alone.. There were no fate parties and we were pretty much it other than a few that joined for a while and a occasional run by... . There were 3 of us and none of us got any.... I did maybe 3 hours and Tes did like 5 hours... We did leave for a bit to do Garuda ex. And I will add this, This last atmas has been the longest for me to get and well over 15 hours which was my last longest. Also Tes is down to her last one but I believe the last two were two of the longer ones.. My two fastest well my only two came Sunday in which It seemed to be the peak and then slowed. I truely think it is random..

My 3rd book fate was like that, waiting on a spot for an hour, but I think that just kinda has to do with how many people are in that zone and how many fates are getting completed so the next set of Fates can pop. On my first book I happened to catch all 3 of the fates right back to back, finishing one and zoning to the next one already up. That was just luck, but for a moment I had believed that maybe the set they chose was all on the same pop time... But that was just in my head... I think...

Finally got my 12/12. Took me about 5 hours/day since Monday (on average, some nights were definitely closer to the 7-8 hour range). On the positive side, I made 160,000 gil from the seals.
