Demiatma drop rates are unacceptable

Unfortunately, there's no pity system of any kind, so theoretically you could continue not getting anything forever if you're simply unlucky. It's pure luck and there's nothing you can do to influence the drop rate afaik, so you just gotta keep going at it until you get all you need.
One thing mentioned before and in other threads, in case you didn't know, is that the color of demiatma dropped depends on where in the map your FATE/CE is located. So if you already have all you need from one color, you can ignore that area if you want.

That’s just the RNG grind unfortunately. I believe the CE drop rate is 20% (I think the person who got 8 in 34 CEs was slightly lucky), and my own experience with demiatma grinding was that it’s incredibly fickle. Keep doing it and it’s a mathematical certainty you’ll succeed eventually. But until then it will just be frustrating. Definitely look up a map of the South Horn showing which demiatma drops where, so you can ignore CEs that drop ones you don’t need any more of, and … I guess just cruise around the zone looking for treasure chests and mugging monsters for gold pieces in between. (Also note that you can influence the spawning of most CEs by killing particular monsters; look up what you need.)

lol i plugged my demiatma drop rate into the osrs drop calculator and it asked me if i had talked to oziach

i still got all my demiatma eventually but man does getting bad rng on this sort of thing suck

If this hasn't been datamined it certainly feels more like 15-10% and the fates under 5% but not below 2.5%

If memory serves, the 20% CE/5% FATE rates were confirmed by YoshiP directly, it is a step beyond datamined.
