    Thanks for the exact numbers. I've had yet to see them acutlly posted any where. All my intell still shows that the average drop rate for any particular atma per fate is less than 10%. So that's still alot of Luck needed. And Range has always been a confusint term to me. That inplys the percentages arn't the same for every one when it's just fighting a percentage. if it's 5% drop than that means only have a 1 out of 20 chance of getting an atma. Since the percentage is constant than 5 out of 100 fates is not true because you can do 1000 fates and neve see a single atma.

    And unlike dungeons where something is guranteed to drop, the percentage just determins what, atmas either drop or they don't. There is no alternate loot when atma hunting so it's a 1 in 20 chance that you'll get any thing and a 19 in 20 chance you'll get nothing more than a repair bill for your gear. Atma's have never been magical, the quest has been to find the actual system drop rate so we actually know what numbers we are fighting.

    These are not exact numbers per say (hence the range). They are relatively accurate guesses considering the current drop rate observed (around 10% so far in my intell) and the fact that we don't know by how much the devs improved the drop rate. The numbers won't ever be remotely close to accurate until we have tested some 100k fates at least AND until we know by how much the devs improved it ^^
