Ever since following this, I have not had to grind more than an hour for an atma.
Lmao. I love when people try to make sense and find ways to 'beat' RNG. First of all, if there was a set practice it would work for everyone, not just a few people who post on reddit. I say a few people because all the rest of non-posters are still farming their atma's. My buddy was convinced this Japanese theory would work, and he still hasn't gotten a drop in 2 days. Stay at home dad so he can play whenever he wants.

This theory says that you are capped at 4 atma's every 12 hours. Explain how I got my atma weapon within 2 days of 2.2 patch releasing? I got 8 of them in one day, the remaining 4 the next day.

Don't get me wrong, I am happy you were able to get your atma pops....but they didn't happen because of some crack-pot theory, regardless if the times coincided with those stated or not.

People are just blowing smoke up each other's you-know-what. There is no rhyme or reason to atma drops. If you hit the Atma lottery at that specific FATE, you get your atma, simple as that. The only way you could ever hope to increase your odds at getting an Atma is if you could trick the game into thinking your character is two seperate entities and you get two rolls on it per every finished FATE.

Another friend of mine is convinced that if you take the right-hand route through ADS nodes in turn 2 then the chests drop caster items...

OP: The best advice I have heard anyone give, is if you are getting burnt out with trying for your current atma, just stop hunting the atma and do something else in-game for a little while until you cool off. It gets frustrating for people when they hear of others getting theirs quick when you are stuck. Go farm some myth tomes and come back to it, trust me you will need a lot of those.
