I agree that dont sound right..

IT is correct. Random Fate Random Drop. Everyone should be happy right? This is what folks wanted lol. For those who only main one thing I'm sure this is awesome. For someone like me who has ever relic... /meh

This is EXACTLY what a lot of people wanted! And while this kind of content isn't my usual cup of tea, I'm glad to have something more grindy and FFXI-esque in Eorzea now.

This is their response to people complaining that no one ever did FATE parties any more since dungeons were just as good.

Has anyone tagged a drop rate yet on these items? Has anyone found one yet and can shed some information as to the tediousness?

12 fate drops per sinle relic, I know that.

But is the 0/70 per fate or per enemy? Is the drop at the end of the FATE or after each enemy is killed? And keep in mind that the very first one on the list is mis-translated. It says Central Thanalan in game but it is actually Central Shroud. I hope they werent posting their central thanalan results, or that would be 0/infinity.

Stop making me want a Vita lol

3 hours and you've got one of the 12 items you need. Spend 3 hours 11 more days and you'll be done in less than 2 weeks and probably right back on here ******** about not having anything to do.

Wow. I totally retract my excited post from yesterday. Grinding low level FATEs without even being able to do it on low level jobs is one of the most annoying and pointless grinds I can imagine.

Sort fo agree, but I have been spiritbonding my lvl 45+ jewelry and converting some level IV materia, plus leveling my chocobo, so its not all that bad.

Interesting note though, I tried about 6 different fates in 4 different areas last night. I found the Twins one off of the giant lvl 10 enemy frog at the bottom of the cliff. First try. But the ones I clear that have no "big" enemies I have found nothing.

I wonder does this matter, or can you get the atma pieces off of the regular sized mob fates as well. Based in the description it seems like you would need to kill a big monster to get the drop.

With Dynamis, every 2-hour run you did (unless you were unfortunate enough to botch it somehow and have to home point before you even got to kill anything, but at least then you wouldn't be wasting 2 hours there) got you steadily closer to your goal. Here, you can spend 2 hours camping FATEs and (very possibly) end up no better off than where you started. To me, they're very different.

Did you even play FFXI since...post 2004? At all? Since a lot of your comparisons when you bring up XI hasn't been true since around then. Hell I've been solo and duo farming EVERY dynamis zone for over 2 years now. Hell you actually exp in Dynamis for certain stuff now (e.g Relic +2 buffed) and they die pretty fast if you're not procing for guaranteed multiple drops, e.g instead of 1-2, you can get 4-7 per mob etc or even guaranteed 100 pieces if it's a 'white' proc.



Welcome to MMORPGs that survives more than 6 months - 1 year after launch, XIV had plenty of grinds even prior to this, some just didn't want to admit it because they wanted to believe so badly XIV is "away from grinding". Quest based progressions are a disguised grind and even paying attention to the story you can tell a lot of it is copy/pasted with different terms in many instances.



All of them. You kind of have to if you were expecting to level prior to the update to dungeon exp. Many FATEs a lot avoided because idiots ruin it, i.e the "turn in item one" spawns mobs infinitely, you can rack up a ton of exp but it takes only that one idiot to turn in the items and cut the 15 minute FATE to 20 seconds within 2 minutes, losing out on a TON of exp.



FATEs were never overooked, people were just ******* sick and tired of them and wanted SE to boost the dungeon exp to get AWAY from FATE grinding lol.

Two more reasons not to worry so much about the tediousness.
1. 3000 FATEs gets you the paragon coat.
2. Each FATE gives you seals, and you can do 5-7 of them to get 1000 seals which buys you 5 retainer ventures to level up your peoples.

I have 4 retainers now and have all but 3 battle classes leveled to 50 so:
seals for ventures + progress to paragon coat + spiritbonding + chocobo + atma upgrade is especially important for incentive.
