cant get any atma to drop

i been trying to get atma for a week now, and no luck, is there any tips i should know? i have my relic weapon on ....i be in areas for lik up to 4 hours at a time, and im using my game time to do this and would rather get gear. i hear they rise the drop rate but to me it dont seem like it.

if you guys could give me some tips that would be great

Is your relic weapon a zenith?

Are you in the right zones? I've seen people in east la nocsea trying for atmas.

I really can't see what else it could be. In 4 hours you most likely should get most, if not all, of your atmas.

^^What Person Above me said^^

Here is a link to a list so you don't have to keep finding the journal entry: http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest.../blog/1362938/

Also, you can get them even if you fail a fate or get lower than gold, so tag a fate that you can't finish if it is next to you.

Make sure zenith is equipped, make sure you actually flagged the quest with Jalzahn - it's not going to be an active quest, but in the completed quest section.

Atma are dropping it took me 4 hours to get all 12 on Sunday. Just follow everyone's advice above.

The blasted things may take a while to drop, but they do. And moving to a different zone will help, if only because the change of pace will help you to endure the repetitive nature of the process (while becoming a Pro at certain FATEs, and gathering sizeable amounts of Grand Company Seals, I must add).

Lol.
I startet this Quest on Sunday.
First Area was Eastern Thanalan.With the 5.Fate i got the Bull Atma.
After that i farmed Fates in Southern Thanalan over 3h and got nothing.

12 in 4h?Never with this 1% Dropchance.Waste of time.

Except it was never 1%, even on day 1 of atmas.

There is more than enough combined evidence to show, on average, it was just above 3% back on day 1. Now? Reports show the average around 13% chance per FATE.

Recent average of people farming is like 5-6 hours for a full set. I took back then when it was newly released 3,5 weeks for first set my second set took ...dunno... 2 weeks? with farming 4 hrs per day D:
Both sets were prenerfs havent tried since for another set id go mad on books again I think :rolleyes:

It is so far from 1%. You should have done it at release. Took me 3+ weeks. I spend 3+ days in North Shroud alone grinding 6 hours a day. Your grind isn't even 1/10th of what I put in on my first Atma. Suck it up if you want the relic. I am imagining all there will be is a complaint unless it drops within the first 5 for every zone.

10-15 Fates each zone is ok 4 me but not over 3h.
Its like in Aion 1.5,grind 4 Weeks,craft ur Heart,if u fail repeat.
I dont like this random shit.

12 atma is nothing since its followed by....

75 alexandrite
75+ materia (depends on how many you blow up)
2000 points of light
drops from each lvl 50 dungeon as well as DD and AV (Copperbell took me 40ish runs my first zodiac, Satasha took me 30ish my second as well as other 10s and such in between)
Who knows what next week will bring...

If atma is that much of a problem for you, I suggest moving on now, cause it is by far the easiest and most relaxing part of the relic farm atm

They are legendary weapons and optional after all and shouldn't be achieved overnight. Quick/easy, no effort weapons are what primals are for.


To OP
If you have your zenith weapon equipped and the quest flagged for a first time go, you should be getting the atma. My guess is one of these two things isn't on. That's the only reason I could really see. I just farmed up 4 sets over the course of a few hours each day for 3 days. Just double check those two things
