Seems like East Shroud tops the list for most people. I really hate the way fates are spawned there..
ALL the atmas in the shroud areas take me looooooooong time for me, maybe because i already hate that region anyway
best ones are La Nosca area, even once i got atma on the 1st fate
Central Thanalan. Total number of hours spent farming Fates was roughly 47
A close second is Western La Noscea at 38 hours of farming.
That's total hours, not me sat at the computer for an overnight marathon. I have had literally the worst run of luck when it comes to getting atmas, and it took me weeks to get all 12 for my paladin weapon. So much so, I have no patience to even attempt to go through all of that hassle again.
Definitely my last one which was in aleport/swiftperch/Sharknado Heaven. I've done my previous atmas except for the first 3 or so just sending my retainer on a quick venture or two (so 1-2 hours of atma farming sessions) and eventually got 'em. This last one however, took my rouhgly 8-9 straight hours of grinding and it was... awful.
Worst of it is, I have another 12 to go in preparation for Ninja.
Atma of the Scales from central thanalan took me like 12 hours, a freaking entire day, I even remember which fate dropped it...those level 3 efts...when it happened...I was like..."EFTS FOR PRESIDENT".
For me, hands down, Atma of the Bull. It took me 24 hours total, spread out over about a week, to get it.
I STILL hate Eastern Thanalan after grinding for that Atma.
it took me 257 fates to get the one in East thanalan.. Can't remember how long it took, but i was mildly frustrated :p
The Atma of the Crab. It took me like 6 hours. Then, randomly doing the beastribe quests, I got another one. Damn Atma.
Even though I finish relatively fast. The two Atma that were a pain to get was the: Atma of the Fish (Lower La Noscea) and Atma of the Maiden (Central Shroud). Not surprisingly, both of them were my last one.
East Shroud. A month's worth of farming to get that damn Atma, but when I did I jumped straight up and shouted, haha! That said, I never want to go into that zone ever again... but Ramuh's there, so I guess I have to bite the bullet and do it *sigh*.
