I tried it. Tried it using server time, jp time, even local time. At least 3 hours each. 10 hours later I had 1 more atma.
Suffice to say, It seems more superstition than useful.

I still don't have even 1.
I was using the JPN time Theory, and have been getting consistent atma gain
but I think that the theory is incomplete, i think there may be more to it than just the hour of the day.
Took me a month and over 200 FATEs, but I finally got that damn Atma of the Goat from East Shroud. And, I'm not sure whether to be thankful or annoyed with the RNG, but after I got that Atma I spent an hour in Central Thanalan and received the Atma of the Scales. Just need the last three in Thanalan, now...
I had a two days off work and spent the entire time (-sleep approx 40 hours) in east than and I still haven't got it!!!
I'm getting sick of east shroud, 10 days now,around 6 hrs a day, I don't know how many hundred fates I've done by now and still nothing..
Then someone in my FC says its better to rotate areas as drop rate will increase like that, so I go to north shroud and get in within 3 fates. I'll do west la noscea next then I'll go back to east shroud , maybe better luck this way
I haven't received an atma in 5 weeks after farming hours every day. This system is beyond broken.
I have done over 500 FATEs without a single item drop
