That's the one that ended my atma quest.
Found an Onion Helm code on eBay and just redeemed it. That makes ARR PS4 preorder items, ARR CE items, both soundtracks & their minions, and now an onion helm! Can't track down the Garlond Goggles or FFXIII Asuran Armguards and I don't have FFXI for the shoes. Heard those three items are hard to get.
Wasn't planning on buying the Onion Helm, but good price for a hard to find item.
EDIT: The Hermes' Shoes are no longer being given. Heard reports the Asuran Armguards code doesn't work anymore. The only possible item to maybe get is Garlond Goggles.
My search for special items ends for now unless I happen upon the goggles. I just randomly happened to see the Onion Helm when I decided to see what FFXIV stuff is for sale on eBay.

I know. But it would be a shame to quit since there are other parts of the game I really enjoy.
2 months after? So you mean like a year from now?
They are are sh*t compared to the relic though.

No, some of those soldiery weapons are really good.
Say what? The i110 unweathered weapons have the same base stats as the highest level relics you can get. The secondary stats won't be as good since you can't choose them but they are certainly comperable to Novus and more than good enough for anything in the game right now.
The Conquerer says hi.
No wonder she went crazy, after SR all these dungeons over and over.

What seeds are worth gathering for gardening? Starting to be able to get them on botanist. Are there certain ones that are well suited for various chocobo foods? I'm guessing in terms of soil it's Thanalan top soil (grade 3) to go after primarily for cross breeding plants? Not sure how much I'd want to be using the others.
I swear the droprate was higher on gear in 2.2
Look at Kagari in the back with that scrub bow. How far she has come.
I don't know see how this is relevant. Functionally yes, they're a good substitute for Novus at the moment, but I have to assume most people going for the Novus are doing it for the long term nature of the weapon which the soldiery weapons don't have.
That thing used to be so amazing. :<
That was probably when you were galmouring that thing over the Tidal Wave bow. You should glamour regular Allagan over the HA just for fun.
Also it will stop making me jealous.
Problem is that most players are more into having a band aid than put in any sort of effort or work into something that doesn't have immediate results.
I beheaded you in another one of The Tree screenshots.
Oh I noticed. I'm flattered that you keep pictures of me, even if I don't have a head in them.
It'll probably last longer than the soldiery weapon that gets advertised a lot here.
so like 3 berries an apple and sacrifice 7 lalas to get that center color?
Given that every step in the relic chain starting around Atma has just been straight grind, it's not insensible to encourage people to check out the sold weapons if the Atma grind is damaging their enjoyment of the game. "Keep doing this shitty thing so you can do two more shitty things to end up with the second-best weapon for like a month before they introduce more shitty stuff to do to make it better." Is.. Eh. Unless post-Novus steps are less bad, the effort to return ratio on the relic is kind of jacked up for anyone trying to play catch up.
Best solution, IMO: sold weapon and then do relic when you have nothing else you'd rather do.
Yesss. Come to me, affordable i70 accessories.

And here we go missing the point of pursuing the Zodiac weapon again.
Sure yes, long term nature of the weapon, potential for growth etc. As long as they are going to keep introducing comparable alternate weapons (which they have up to this point) I see no reason why you should subject yourself to the worst content in the game.
And for the record I'm talking about atmas. I'd love to do books and Novus seems interesting.
I hate to be "that guy" but I felt the books for animus were way worse than the atma grind. Atma is annoying since you can't control it, but animus is annoying because of the time it takes. Novus is annoying because of the money you need to spend or the amount of gear you'll need to spiritbind. Atma is the easiest step, in my opinion.
Like Taruranto said, people do Novus cause it's a long term objective. Whether or not there's a comparable alternate weapon is irrelevant.
I'll take something I can chip away at slowly like the books over atma RNG hell any day. At least you can see your progress. I've been chipping away at the beast tribes since the quests were introduced, and I enjoy it even though I'm going slow (still have the Amaljaa to go). The problem for me is that after spending hours grinding fates without getting an atma, I feel like I've accomplished nothing. I spent a week doing fates for an hour or two a day in the same zone (North Shroud) and never got the atma. It felt like I was making no progress and that I was wasting time I could be spending doing other fun stuff in the game. So, I decided atmas weren't for me and gave up.
Well, if the end result is a high level weapon, I don't think the presence of other comparable high level weapons is irrelevant. If atma was the only route to getting a better weapon in this game I probably would have unsubbed. Some people don't mind that grind but it's not for me.

I didn't mind the books. It was not nearly as repetitive as the Atma grind,
I think it's more a "the journey is the prize" sort of deal.
Yeah, this is me too. haha
Hey GAF, been thinking of getting back into FF14 with Ninjas coming around at some point. I happened to quit the game because we had turn 5 on lock back when it was semi relevant and ran out of content...
Not too familiar with the GAF guilds, it's gonna take me a while to get back into things but are there people and places open in here for serious raid progression?
I just want to enjoy raid mechanics again without having to deal with 10 years of pug wandering for guilds lol
*I quit somewhere around when PVP was about to come out, I think.

Welp, if you come back, you'll have a looooot of content to catch up on.
Kinda hard to find Raid groups right now though, as most the established groups are busy gearing up for 3rd Coil, and don't want to waste time training up new players. You might be able to get in with a group that doesn't have T9 on farm yet though, it looks like a lot of those groups are either losing members or falling apart.
Still, you have a lot of new Primals and dungeons to keep you occupied for awhile, and it'll be a lot easier to get into groups once third Coil comes out in October.

With the increased myth output, the books aren't that bad. If some of those FATE's weren't on such a long timer and it didn't take horribly long to queue into dungeons, I would have burned through those books even faster. That was my main issue with the books.

I think the longest I waited for a FATE was an hour, and that was the few that I was the only one there on. Mostly, I found other people waiting at a FATE location and we partied up and each picked a different zone to watch, so we didn't miss them.

Unless you're capped out and bored of them, do the daily beast tribe quests for a nice pile of ventures.
You can exchange untradable equipment for Company Seals at your GC.
I think if you hit up the lowest level of GC leves and spam those for half an hour those would be faster for ranking up, especially if you're overleveled for them.

It would be funny if the next relic step requires us to clear all the Ex primals.
I doubt it; fun content isn't a part of the Zodiac quest.
Since Relic is a farm fest, I think something like Allied Seals will be involved or some other content they want to bring back to life, like guildhest.
