Japanese Atma theory is real, proof in link.

[xjia]

So after getting my first atma set over a frustrating period of two months I googled atma theory and saw a link to a post on reddit:
http://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/commen...arming_theory/

I followed the times listed as attempting gathering my atmas, low and behold I never spend more than 30 mins in an area before I was given my atma. The longest I spent in one area was 11 fates before a drop.

There is one thing though the reddit post mentions about going during server times,in my screenshots the times all match the post. The times of capture listed below.

Heres the link for the screens to show the item drops:http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodest.../blog/1725601/

Its RNG, ive got my atma drop in different time, ET, ST, LT.
