More information about this Atma quest (likely the first zodiac weapon upgrade)

Relic Zodiac - Atma - Level 100 weapon

Looking through item descriptions...

Atma of the Maiden - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in the Central Shroud. (Careful!! in game has mistranslation of Central Thanalan)
Atma of the Scorpion - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in southern Thanalan.
Atma of the Water-bearer - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in upper La Noscea.
Atma of the Goat - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in the East Shroud.
Atma of the Bull - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in eastern Thanalan.
Atma of the Ram - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in middle La Noscea.
Atma of the Twins - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in western Thanalan.
Atma of the Lion - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in outer La Noscea.
Atma of the Fish - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in lower La Noscea.
Atma of the Archer - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in the North Shroud.
Atma of the Scales - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in central Thanalan.
Atma of the Crab - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in western La Noscea.


Clearly zodiac signs. My guess is that we have to fell all twelve. How hard they are is anyone's guess at this point. Are these solo, four man, or 8 man quests? My guess is that they are all equivalent in strength to chimera / hydra, but I am seriously hoping that is not the case.

I'm so stoked to dive into all this new content, it's not even funny.

I also can't get the music from Coil out of my head.... must find on youtube...

Oh, bad news Kat. Just read the patch notes. Stuck with a bunch of seeds and fish. That's what I get for speculating. At least if we get aquariums mine will be the coolest ever.

Grasping at straws here but:

Atma of the Maiden - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in the Central Shroud.
haukke manor hard mode?

Atma of the Crab - The crystallized soul of a formiddable foe felled in western La Noscea.
(I Just) Died in Six Arms Tonight? Maybe a hard mode of this Fate?

They are very much fates.

For the Level 100 Relics, you'll be hunting down no less than 12 fates (The ones described above.)

For the Animus (110) relics, you will be purchasing books with Myth tomes (1500 tomes a piece) then completing the trials listed on those tomes. Note, we only have 4 of the 12 tomes available to even buy right now, with more coming in subsequent patches.

People wanted long term goals and challenges, there it is. Not sure how I feel about it all. Not terrible, not amazing. Lots to be interested in at least.

And not 1500 Heavy Metal Plates in which you get no more than 3-4 plates per NM with a group of 12-18.

Hmm cool. Care to share where are you getting this info?

Great! Here's the copy/paste from the journal entry:

This information can be reviewed in the completed journal for the quest “Up in Arms,” which can be found under “Side Story Quests.”

And then:

Much to your delight, G'jusana has the full collection of the Trials of the Braves in stock, and offers to sell you each book for the bargain price of 1,500 Allagan tomestones of mythology. The means to possessing a mightier arm lies before you─you need but reach out and take it. ※You must be equipped with the relic weapon atma you wish to enhance when making the purchase. ※You can possess only one book in the set of nine at any given tome. ※Upon completing the objectives in all nine books, present your relic weapon atma to Jalzahn to complete the enhancement process.

Complete Atma fates first for Zenith Atma > Then buy the book for 1500 myth and complete the Trials.

More Notes:

- Complete Atma fates first for Zenith Atma > Then buy the book for 1500 myth and complete the Trials.
- By defeating all the foes listed within a book of the Trials of the Braves, your relic weapon atma will gain in attributes.
- Distinct sets of Trials of the Braves exist for each relic. A set is comprised of nine books, of which only four are available at first.
- A paladin's set comprises seven books for Curtana, and two for the Holy Shield. Only six of these are available for exchange at first.
- Each book can be purchased from G'jusana. Please note, however, that you can possess only one at any given time.
- You must complete all of the objectives in a book before you may obtain another.
- Alternately, you may also dispose of it by speaking with G'jusana, or via the Key Items menu.

Looks like we will need a total of 6000 Myth to buy the 4 books that will be available until more are release with next patch.

I really like that the quest is long and requires a lot of tomes and stuff. It gives me something to do and something to spend tomes on after the first few weeks of the patch, and more importantly, gives me a long term goal. Long term goals are something I've really been missing in this game. Everything is so fast and relatively easy that I have nothing to dream about. Instant gratification is all well and good but there's nothing to dream about when practically everything in the game can be attained in a matter of days, or a few weeks at the most.

Wonder if there will be any way to guarantee the drop of the atma? In XI's Abyssea, you aimed for a "red" stagger (done with elemental weapon skills) to force the KI to drop.

I hope not, I dont want staggers. I doubt it though since fates most of the time are just random people...

so youre saying the 12 fate items drop on ANY fate? huh? i thought the crab fate would drop the crab crsyatsl but your saying any fate on that map will drop it?
