FAQ: Zoadiac Weapons & You

I think mine might be bugged. It wont drop the Atma of the Goat from the East Shroud. I've been at it for 4 days straight. 5 hours each day.

I think Atma of the Goat took me 2 FATEs to get.

Atma of the Scorpion on the other hand, that's been days of FATEs without dropping.

Not bugged, just very unlucky it would seem. If you still have any other atma remaining it might be a good idea to go try and get one of those and then go back to east shroud. Any time I took a break I would swap areas. Doesn't really affect the drop rate but it kept me from going nuts with some of the bigger, more annoying areas.

My FC have started speculating that the atma drop rates are based on the zodiac affinity of your character's chosen birthday. We each found the quickest drop was the one that matched our character's zodiac sign whilst the longest farms were usually those opposing our own. Not sure if anyone else has seen similar?

Data gathering spreadsheet, go!

Nope :/ I wish... Atma of the Fish gave me some trouble while Scorpian and Maiden dropped almost instantly.

Well... it's been 2 weeks & i still have tough luck getting atmas. Particularly at Lower La Noscea, think I've counted a week of my time spent there, and still no single atma. :(

BTW, if I died during middle of FATE, do I still have chance getting atma?

I don't think that would matter as long as you're in the zone the fate finished in.

If you're at East Shroud and die and the fate finishes while you're elsewhere then you don't get credit.

Just an update, the last 3 Atma took me 7, 27, and 119 fates. That's 372 fates or about 1 in 31 fates. Some people in my FC are speculating the drop rate is 2.5% which means I was a little lucky but not exceptionally so. I did this for about 3 days and it kind of made me a little nuts but I don't think a drop rate like this is too bad if the grinding had been spread out a bit more (easily grind 30-40 fates a day and get all your Atma in a week and a half). I think what drives people crazy is the need to have all the Atma right now. I understand the urge (pushing myself to put off sleep for just one more fate lol) but you might save your sanity to take it slower :)
