Animus Zodiac >>> iLvl 100

Pre-Requisite

Before begin to create your Atma Zodiac Weapon, you must:

• Complete your Zenith Relic Weapon.

(For Paladins: Although you can start the quest with either the Curtana Zenith or Holy Shield Zenith, you must have both on hand at the end in order to get your Atma Zodiac Weapons.)

Up in Arms

Starting NPC:	Gerolt
Starting Location:	Hyrstmill, North Shroud (x30,y20)
Speak with Gerolt with your Zenith Relic Weapon equipped who will then direct you to Jalzahn standing opposite him. Jalzahn needs you to bring him 12 crystalline objects known as Atmas. Atmas are dropped randomly from FATEs in certain zones around Eorzea when equipped with a Zenith Relic Weapon. After speaking to Jalzahn, the quest will move to your "completed quest log". Collect all 12 Atmas, bring them to Jalzahn along with your unequiped Zenith Relic Weapon and you will be rewarded your Atma Zodiac Weapon. FATE Locations Zone Region Atma Outer La Noscea La Noscea Atma of the Lion Upper La Noscea La Noscea Atma of the Water-bearer Middle La Noscea La Noscea Atma of the Ram Western La Noscea La Noscea Atma of the Crab Lower La Noscea La Noscea Atma of the Fish Eastern Thanalan Thanalan Atma of the Bull Central Thanalan Thanalan Atma of the Scales Western Thanalan Thanalan Atma of the Twins Southern Thanalan Thanalan Atma of the Scorpion North Shroud The Black Shroud Atma of the Archer East Shroud The Black Shroud Atma of the Goat Central Shroud The Black Shroud Atma of the Maiden Notes Atma drop randomly from any FATE in that zone. It is completely random: you may get 3 atmas in the space of an hour or just 1 atma after three days. The drop rate is suggested to be somewhere around 2%; which means on average at least 600 FATEs for all 12 atmas (Source). Being in a party or having your Chocobo out has no effect on the suggested 2% chance of drop. (Source) Being able to finish FATEs faster, however, will allow for more chances in the same amount of time. When Atma's do drop, you will be alerted in-game by a popup. You must be equipped with a Zenith Relic Weapon in order to get Atma; however this can be any Zenith Relic Weapon / job. Atmas go into your normal inventory rather than your Key Item inventory. Make sure you have free space in your inventory. Your rating in the FATE doesn't affect your drop rate; however only successfully completed FATEs will drop atmas (Source). You do not need to stay for the entire length of the FATE (Source). Because the quest is marked as "completed" after the explanation from Jalzahn; the game does not automatically track the number / type of atams in your collection. You can collect multiple Atmas of the same kind; however only one of each type is used per weapon upgrade. This is a good opportunity for you to train your Chocobo if you wish.
