Atma Fates and Timetables: Not a spot to complain
Lets see if we can compile a list of where it takes longer to get atma to drop. Personal experience so far was:
Southern Thanalan: Atma of the Scorpion
Eastern Thanalan: Atma of the Bull
Western Thanalan: Atma of the Twins: 6 hours no drop
Central Thanalan: Atma of the Scales
Central Shroud: Atma of the Maiden
East Shroud: Atma of the Goat
North Shroud: Atma of the Archer
Upper La Nocea: Atma of the Water Bearer: total of 4 hours 30 minutes no drop
Middle La Nocea: Atma of the Ram: 1 hour
Outer La Nocea: Atma of the Lion: 2 hours
Lower La Nocea: Atma of the Fish:2 hours
Western La Nocea: Atma of the Crab:3 hours
I'm still collecting mine
I try not to FATE grind since it becomes tiring. When I learned that you need to do FATE again for getting ATMA weapon, I had to stop and waited.
So, I started yesterday and randomly picked where to go first. Since I was in East Shroud, that's where I started.
Central Shroud: Atma of the Maiden
East Shroud: Atma of the Goat - 1 hour
North Shroud: Atma of the Archer - 15 minutes
Southern Thanalan: Atma of the Scorpion -
Eastern Thanalan: Atma of the Bull - 2 hours
Western Thanalan: Atma of the Twins -
Central Thanalan: Atma of the Scales - (been in here for half a day and nothing, so I'm going to stop for today and maybe try next week)
Upper La Nocea: Atma of the Water Bearer:
Middle La Nocea: Atma of the Ram:
Outer La Nocea: Atma of the Lion:
Lower La Nocea: Atma of the Fish:
Western La Nocea: Atma of the Crab:
