FATE's partecipation rewards ( ATMA/ALEXANDRITE )

Recently i noticed some strategies that people do while farming FATE's

They attack the monsters just to get bronze rating, then swap to another FATE before the 1st one is over. This way you can finish more FATE's over the time

Do you still recive the ATMA/Alexandrite if you leave the fate? Or do you need to stay till the end?
Does bronze rating ensure you to have ATMA/Alexandrite? Or do you need Gold?

As far as Atma goes, you only need to stay in a fate long enough to get gold, then you can leave whenever you want and head to the next. No idea about Alexandrites though.

If this is true, I stand corrected.

Well, damn. I need to know about the Alexandrite
If someone got it from a FATE, feel free to post your info there

Got them only from Gold-Fates so far, while being in the Fate-Area.

I left a FATE to go to another before it was finished. I got a Gold rating and an Alexandrite. So I know you can leave it, but I dunno about any ratings other than Gold.

I did 800+ fates the last two days and no drop...

800+ fates in 2 days lol I call bs on this one, even if you went without sleep or going afk at all that over 16 fates per hr.

Ah the exaggeration of forumers

You can get Atma from any rating. It's been confirmed. It was confirmed a long time ago. Multiple people in my FC have got it from bronze themselves.

I'm guessing that Alexandrite works the same as Atma's.

I got it from a fate, but was gold. It's hard NOT to get gold if you wanna finish fates fast so next ones spawns faster.

I can confirm that Alexandrite drops from FATEs with a bronze rating. That was luck because I barely did 10 FATEs. 200+ FATEs later I didn't even get a 2nd Alexandrite and frankly was discouraged because my time would have been better spent grinding 800 mythology.

The only advanate that I can see with FATEs is you get Alexandrite and literally bypass the mysterious maps.

You can actually get atma from a failed fate as long as you hold a bronze, got one from that method myself.

I do recall reading "you can obtain atma through PARTICIPATION in FATEs". Participation does not equal winning, just as you can obtain 1 Odin Mantle for failing.

Anybody else got it with a bronze rating+leaving FATE ?

Small Bump

I got atma from two zones doing very minimum damage. All you have to do is show up and do an action. Got Western La Noscea from 1 shield lob on south tide gate and in eastern thanalan from a few hits as well. Also got one from a failed fate. All I did for atma farming was run from fate to fate tag one mob a time or two and move on. I only finished a fate if no other was up. (I know it's been a month since a last response but confirmations are confirmations)

I just finished farming my atmas (12/12 in 4 days, GG), and I never saw anyone doing that on our server. That's a pretty risky move because there's a lot of newbs running around and not actually finishing the fates.

Perhaps they should adjust the drops so that a higher rating has a higher drop rate? The drop rate at the moment is, iirc, 1%; if you kept that for bronze and had a 3% rate for silver and 5% for gold... it would still be a tedious grind, but people would be inclined to stick around and finish it. Win/win.

Unsure if this is the case for Alexandrite, but as long as you have any participation you can get Atma. I once just barely managed to reach a FATE, had time only to throw out a single Aero spell before the other players there killed it, and I to my utter shock was rewarded with the area's Atma crystal.

I do this a lot while farming Atma, especially in lower level zones. For any contribution you make to FATE completion you get a chance at Atma as long as the FATE is completed. For the lower-levels it's a Win/Win. I get my contribution and potentially Atma, they get to kill the rest of the mobs and get exp from them that I might have wasted otherwise.
