He only got one wrong. The correct answer to #5 is Yes. LOL. Just kidding. I got two atma weapons. I didn't do any more farming than over a weekend for each. There are plenty of theories out there and zero.zero of them are right. You run fates, you get lucky enough to get an atma, you move on. Don't join a party or fall into the trap of thinking there's some magic way of getting them. Run every fate every time. No fate is too big or too small, too short or too long. Just so long as you get in there and get a successful completion: Gold, silver or bronze.

I heard that if you do them naked both in game and in real life and only have your zenith equipped while doing the manderville everytime you kill something it increases the drop rate by .000001%

I was with you until this part. The first thing I do before I start an Atma grind is check PF to see if someone's running a party in one of the areas I need. If there isn't one the second thing I do is go to an area I need....and start recruiting in PF. lol.

You're going to complete more FATEs in less time when you know you'll have 1-7 people with you as opposed to possibly trying to solo some if nobody else is around.

Tried it. Confirmed.

I gotta bow to you on the Party thing, Ringabell, and thanks for clearing that up for me too. I'll be doing more with more people. It's not that I don't join in multi-person fates, I do it all the time, I just don't tend to party up. I'm that jerk that follows everyone around and pops in and pops out. I have one more Atma that I really want to get, but I have to level my Warrior and get the Zenith first. Ugh, the same grind in Coerthis and More Donuts for XP and finally the trials and spending tomes on the mist.

Stupid me, I believed someone who said there was one drop per party.
