atma drop rates

[Kagoma]

1000 character limit......

Unless those saying keep the current system and have them already put up with that kind of a drop rate, then please shut up during that time I could think of 100 different more productive things to do. It needs to be a measurable system aka like I had to do 65 fates in each zone for atma. That I could live with just needs to be fair and an actual goal like the damn books 1000x times easier then the fates. Tomes alone farming 7 brayflox's longstop (first 2 bosses) runs an hour for 80 hours ~ 28000 myth tomes enough for 18 books. Its smoothing sailing now, by comparison. Drops in FFXI were not that bad I camped mobs for days for a spawn pop, but guess what if you got claim, and killed it you got a drop.

Not directly, plenty weren't 100%.

Ya but most of the ones that were not 100% did not take days of camping.

You sir, obviously do not remember NM camping well in 11, it was VERY RNG based and the drops were usually very slim, even in BCNM....

Tiamat, Argus, Khimaira, Cerberus, Nidhogg, Aspidochelone, King Behemoth, Overlord Bakodek, Tzee Zicu The Manefist, King Arthro, Simurph, Serket, Lord of Onzozo, Dark Ixion, Sandworm, Bloodsucker and Fafnir. Plenty to mention that had drops not 100% and took more than 20 hours to show.

However most of their drops could be sold for a large amount of gils, and gils had real money value in FFXI not like ARR.
In FFXI for example if you obtained the "MP Ring" from the coffer at OZ, it just felt like you earn some real money.
Therefore I think the difficulity for item drop in ARR should not like XI as ARR is intented to be a game not suitable for RMT.

Agreed I have the other 11 Atmas got them within a week and a half. Atma of the Goat? 6 days and counting of 2-4 hours a night of farming

Regarding ATMA drop rate, it works like everyone has his own drop rate randomly, maybe it is what RNG refer to ^^;

What is the Exact Drop Rate % of drop? 2% Chance?

From my experience, I think that estimate is missing a decimal point.
