Before I post this in bug section, I want to find out if this is normal or not. It has been three weeks of farming FATEs for three to four hours a day and my last two atmas have not dropped. The two atmas in question are: Atma of the Bull and Atma of the Archer.
The grind is real.
Sorry about your bad luck.
Took me about 50 hours to get all 12, and those two weren't the difficult drops.
Atma of the Maiden was a monster, though. Easily 12 hours in that one zone.
Yeah, I've had some drop in one FATE, some drop in a hundred... Some even longer. It's the chief complaint of the system.
Working as intended :(
1% RNG = Drop the first, or drop the thousandth...life sucks in the latter.
I'm in no rush so just getting my Atmas as they fall, doing FATE's when I happen to come across them, not actually seeking them out or grinding on them. RNG bugs the hell outta me (regardless of whether I'm unlucky or lucky) so doing a bunch of FATE's in a row and seeing how often they drop just isn't for me. So far I've been lucky and got 2 out of very few FATE's but with my style it'll probably be a year+ before I get all 12 just because I so rarely do FATE's in general XD
Good luck everyone~
Mathematical probabilities can get a little confusing (or annoying) sometimes. So with that in mind, here is some information:
A 1% drop rate means that each individual FATE that you complete, you have a 1 in 100 chance to see the Atma drop. In other words, whether it's your first FATE or your 500th FATE, your chance to see it on that FATE is 1%.
You have a...
...25% chance to see it drop within 28 FATEs.
...33% chance to see it drop within 40 FATEs.
...50% chance to see it drop within 68 FATEs.
...66% chance to see it drop within 109 FATEs.
...75% chance to see it drop within 138 FATEs.
...99% chance to see it drop within 458 FATEs.
No amount of FATEs gives you a 100% chance to see the Atma.
