I finally got past the book grind. Now Im a step closer to getting my Excalibur! XD
btw thank god the inks dont cost 500 poetics now. I was surprised that it was just 50 when I stopped by Mor Dhona 5 minutes ago.

5 Alexandrites per treasure chest from treasure maps now ^^

I got excited after finishing my books but now this crap.. bump this imma go play Destiny... Well that's what I want to say but I know I'll keep going until I finish this weapon, even if it is killing my soul...

The relic is not mandatory, I found the magitek weapons to have some real nice stats and were higher then my novus!

I'm at this point! -_- Hahahaha

this certainly helped with some of the points i was having a hard time understanding as im early on in my alexandrite count but it sure is going to cost me with those darn determination IV =(

the quest needs to killed with fire 100%. I cannot get any alexandrite anywhere fates or the dally quest that is lock on for some reason this total BS

This quest is draining my fucking soul. I love this game so much, but this quest is like...
Imagine FF XIV is a person, and you are dating this person. This person takes you on a dinner. EVERYTHING until this quest, is delicious dishes of multiple kinds. You finish your meal and then you go outside of the restaurant... and then suddenly this person PUNCHES YOU in the dick/tits for NO REASON and just stares as you crawl in pain. THAT is the Zodiac quest.

hey what is best for the dragoon Sphere Scroll

You mention the alex drop rate in fates is close to atma.... In no way is this true. I've done over 600 fates with NOT ONE alex...

And got all 12 alex in one day, lol

Alexandrite drops are not the same as atma rate? I got all atmas in one day. I have been grinding FATEs for alexandrite for 2 days straight without one alexandrite drop. Don't lie plz. i wasted too much time.

Lol the game is based off of grinding for hours on end whether its leveling to 50 or running a dungeon for that one awesome drop its an mmo ppl you should have expected a grind and its a relic one of the top weapons in the game and its there for all the ppl who want or need a high lvl weapon but dont have raiding groups to farm for the 115 weapons , there are way more other things to do but every class in the game takes a grind to make it that much better and that much more fun

What's the best build for the Sphairai, if anyone has any suggestions or definite results?

People taking my comment the wrong way. I enjoy a good grind. There's nothing wrong with grinding and its part of mmo's. My issue is grinding that feels weak and monotonous. Grinding atma is just an excuse to get people to do fates no one does, so you will in-adversely help randoms level up via fate grinding. Give us a grind that feels rewarding and challenging. I came back to XIV and I'm working on my nexus now, and I'm ilvl110. I love the game but some decisions made are very lazy.

THANK YOU for posting this the game does a really crappy job of explaining how to do it
just wanted to confirm one thing: so assuming i do not fail any of the melds i will need 75 alexandrite and one of each kind of materia listed in my scrolls?

Legit Mr. happy you are the best. I really find your ff14 video's really helpful and i want to thank you. and i will for sure follow you on twitch and twitter :). Keep er going Mr. Happy.

what happens if u already melded the 75 materia into animus, i know it can be uninfused, but can you do one stat at a time? or when you choose it the whole 75 goes?

ok so I did 5 different stats but I see now why everyone just did 3 stats only cause you lose the 2 stats that were on animus such as the mnk animus I had 452 skill speed and 472 acc but lost 27 acc and 9 Skill speed so its defintly best to just focus on 3 stats. After I enfused the 75 alex I put material in pity, det, crit, acc, and skill speed.

I regret now not paying attention to as why people did that but now I know so I hope I see the chance to reset the novus or just start a whole new scroll

I just got my novus weapon today just with myh grinding and the daily quest, took me a month however I felt less stressful than the atma farming, it's a shame that the only difference are the stats and a glow color change, no originality at all

you won't lose ink so put it away
