Atma of the Crab

Isle of Umbra counts as well. I did mine there on the skeleton & mantis fates.

i have 9 Atmas so far and have been trying to get this one for 3 days now 4 hours a day, can anyone give me some advice on this atma. I just feel like i am doing something wrong for it to take this long to get

Yeeaa, shove it. I have near 30 hours in to Atma grinding and I have....................... ZERO.

System is broken.

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.

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...

You clearly don't read very well. The OP of that page suggested its possible that you are capped at 4 every 12 hours. Implying that it is not proven. In fact NONE of this is proven. It is as you say, a theory. A theory that is working for people who try it.


I tried it, got several of my friends to try it too and they all got their atmas very shortly after following it. NOTHING can be proven about how the drops work unless a dev comes out and states it (as they are the only ones that know how it works).

Plus, if OP is getting frustrated, might as well give it a shot. Can't hurt, can it?

Also, who said the whole thing was RNG? It is very possible that SE didn't design it entirely to be RNG.

I got a friend who got 5 in six hours. I think the cap part is false.

6 of my friends wore there underwear on their fists while back-flipping as Bard's and got their Atma's to drop as long as the hour of the day coincided with the blood moon's eclipse last night.

I don't read very well, but I promise I saw that this worked for at least 4.4 people. The .4 was a Lala.

Ever since following this, I have not had to grind more than an hour for an atma.

I can confirm that the times in that forum post for each atma do work but it goes by JST not NA or BST

tried it my self and worked perfectly. Got my friends in the USA to try it to in my fc and it worked them.

False it doesn't take the devs to do that. I had a couple of friends get more than 4 in a 12 hour period. I can disprove, without dev support, that part of the theory outright. With a large enough sample size even we players could prove the "improved drop rate" part as well.

Spent 19 hours on crab before I tried that reddit link about a week back, got it within the hour, and then proceeded to get every other ATMA I went after during the suggested time within the hour.

Not saying it's true, but as long as you're grinding for them anyway you may as well try it, not gonna hurt.

So if there is any truth in this, then right now it's atma of the bull?

Yes, 4:00 EST is 5:00 JST (this is how it would be for me)

Most say they have luck doing it at JST time rather than their own local time zone. It's conflicting and I am likend to believe this is a placebo.

Regardless it gets people feeling more positive with hope that there will be better returns, much like one with a dibilitating illness improving not by medicine but by changing the manner with which they think.
