And you have to have a complete set of high allagan armor for your job too.
And the High Allagan weapon as well.

you all aren't seeing the big picture. The grind is part of the relic quest. Thus when personal housing comes out, gardening is gonna be used for the next step.

After hunts, Animus became way better. The 1,500 Myth per book before hunts was literally hell on Eorzea grind.

After completing only one book a week ago, I basically stopped bothering with it completely. Maybe the Atma grind burned me out or something.
The real biggie for me is when the expansion comes out with a higher level cap, will that endgame bring back more Zodiac weapon upgrades ?
(which means I'll eventually have to complete it)
Or are we going to get relic 2.0 with its own set of new Zodiac quests ?

Given just how much work it is, I don't think they could end the original relic quest line. People would be furious.

I imagine they'll go like FFXI and do relic alternatives. FFXI had Relic weapons, Mythic Weapons (the biggest pain in the ass of all time), and Empyrion weapons
I had a look at the sol weapons but they didn't look great to me. By secondary stats do you mean critical, spell speed, det etc? Because those matter to me. They're the reason I haven't got the leviatetin. I'm specced as a crit monster at the moment and it's working well for me. The elder staff looked okay though.
Anyway it's all good. I switched zones, went back to Thanalan and, bam, ATMA drops like it's nothing. I'm convinced the N Shroud drop rate is screwy. I got up to six ATMAs with no issues and progress was at a good rate. Then I got there and hit a brick wall. As soon as I leave there I get my seventh. Also being out of that sh*tty zone I'm enjoying it again since I actually like doing FATEs.

Reminds me they had to nerf a few CNJ job quests for being too hard for folks.

On the Atma thing, was wondering, do they still drop once you're done? Like if you wanna farm them by using the same class over and over, does that work or do you need to stay on the step for that? Can you farm more than one of each at that point?

You can receive atma as long as you are equipped with a zenith weapon. So I guess technically once you've gotten all relics to atma level or higher then it's impossible to get more atmas.
tl;dr Collecting atma is not an active quest or anything. You receive them randomly by completing FATEs with a relic zenith equipped.
tl;dr tl;dr acquire atma using zenith
Yeah I can feel you as a scholar looking for as much crit as possible but at the end of the day Magic Damage and Int are a whole lot more important than anything else as a BLM and the Leviatetin will get you through the content. On the other hand it won't be optimized so by all means do the atmas if you want to maximize that shit.
You can actually keep using the same class if you really want after getting an atma weapon, you just buy your base relic from the calamity salvager in Limsa then upgrade to zenith like before.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
So last month I started with 20,000,000 gil, went on a purge of selling shit left and right
Cleaned out my retainers, every item that can be converted into gil
Now I sit pretty with 33,000,000 gil (Can't believe I had 13mil on my retainers!)
Now do I save it, sell account + gil, or retire (for the foreseeable future)?

Gimme all the gil
Man, you know I've been hearing for the entire year since this game launched how it turns a bit slow and grindy once you hit the mid 30's (coerthas mostly) and I'm totally seeing why.
I've done all the quests I can find up to the level 39 story quest that preceeds stone keep. I'm about halfway to level 39. I even went back and finished the guild leves I had nearby as well as completing about half my hunts for level 30-40.
I suppose I could just finish the hunts up to 38 and maybe just barely squeak up to level 39 but jeez, this game lead me to be over leveled pretty consistently until I hit 34, I was matched with the Titan requirement and I've been slowly lagging behind ever since.
I do have the level 38 dungeon to do still, I just wish I'd get luckier with drops, my equipment kind of sucks.

I never felt that the initial level-up process was grindy and going from creating a character to beating Praetorium took me exactly two weeks. But I took every opportunity I had to get more exp, from sidequests and doing every dungeon as soon as it's possible to an occasional FATE and such.
Wow. That's pretty darn crazy.
Why not just "retire" for now and come back down the road? No need to just give it all up.
Man, I need to get off my butt and make some gil if I hope to get my crafting/gathering accessories. lol
Was fun to see Bookey getting his Garuda pony. On a related subject, man I did not realize how rusty I was when it came to main tanking that fight, until recently. 
I better get used to it, if I want a pony of my own Ruda's probably the fastest way, and I can't always be the one off tanking it.

Platinum Trophy: Learned to Shit While Upright Again.
All those days spending chasing those achievements awards came in handy
I sold roughly 2 99 stacks of potash, 50+ peacock ores, a fuck ton of coke and some animal fats
I was just stockpiling 'em for the future, but the market rose to the 15K per item, I had to go on a selling spree
Most of the gil generated from shards and crystals, that old pic of how much shard/crystals/clusters I had, netted me close to 5.5 million in gil alone
Still contemplating what to do, game got me frustrated for awhile which burned me out, which led to said semi-retirement
From other places I've checked, my accounts worth $350-$500
Nope!

Thanks that's what I wanted to know, if I ever start farming it'd be on my SCH just wasn't sure if I could like farm after progressing further or not. Having to pay a bunch of myth to get another zenith doesn't sound too bad and SCH is just really good at doing FATEs even with no one around that's why I was wondering.
That one is already outdated a bit.

Grave Robber, I will give you $10 to delete your character live on stream (have to confirm all the gil is there too). Maybe we can get a kickstarter going and get everyone to chip in. You can read off messages from backers on the stream, and there could even be perks. Maybe a stretch goal of $350 and you can also stream the uninstallation and smashing of any physical merchandise related to FFXIV if you have any. It could be a lot of fun!

Prices were even worse last September.
gimme some gil before you go
But you get more damage with crits
. Seriously I get A LOT of crits now, like three/four in a row sometimes. It's great. I'll see how it goes. I have a very low tolerance for unenjoyable grind but since I'm back to enjoying the FATEs now I'll keep going.Yes. Go to the character screen and click the icon above your weapon.
