atma and alexandrite stones simultaneously? Follow

Trying to confirm if you can still acquire atma stones while farming alexandrite via fates with a animus weapon equipped.

I would hate to have to log another job with zenith to get another set of stones which would eliminate the chance to get alexandrite on that job at the same time.

Considering the time involved, I would think that once you have completed the atma requirements on any particular job, you would remain flagged with any atma or higher weapon of the relic chain and be able to obtain atma stones from the appropriate fates (zones).

Or, is it one or the other? Can only acquire atma stones with a zenith and can only acquire alexandrite stones with an animus? My belief, or fear rather, is is that you cannot get both once you've acquired an animus, while the animus is equipped.

You answered your own question at the end. Zenith for atma drops and Animus for alexandrites, there is no way to get them both at the same time as this would make your second relic easier to get.

Yep and there is no way Yoshi would ever allow getting a relic to be easier.

Even FFXI wasn't THAT cruel with relic weapons. Once you finished a relic you got back something like 1500 dyna-currency to put towards someone else's relic weapon. So it was easier to complete relics beyond the first.

Completing relics was never easy, this includes the pre-dynamis change and it's current form with 24 hour restriction. You get back 30 coins (100 denomination of currency used in last stage), to make another relic you will need over 150+ (100 denominations of various currency) to complete the next relic, not to mention getting attestations and other materials along the way.

Naw, it was 30 of the 100 pieces, and what you would do was borrow the last 30 from someone and then give them back when you were done, 10 minutes later.

Most of us knew the other people building relics on the server, so we know who to ask when the time came. It was always a risk to loan, of course, so you usually asked for collateral. One time I loaned out 30 Montiont Silver and was asked to hold someone's -1 Cursed Dalmatica as collateral. Smiley: lol
