    I did a little Atma hunting on Saturday, and got nothing. But, then yesterday I got 6 of them. I'm hoping I can get the other 6 tonight.

    I collected all 12 again. I spent no more than 30 or 40 minutes on each atma.

    Majority of them dropped the first or second fate. What took the longest was WAITING for fates to pop. Lol

    Does anybody actually think that the drop rate should be lower than it is currently?

    Atma weapons don't improve stats at all and the stats on them are a full 45 ilevels behind (stat wise) the current best in slot weapons.

    In my opinion they should nerf the animus stage too and at least give people some sort of incentive to really work on getting these. As it stands the weapons are only 3rd/4th bis when fully upgraded, not worth the time and effort in my opinion unless you just want a pretty glamour.

    Post 2.4 I farmed 8 atma, 2 of them took around 2-3 hrs each, the others all took about 10-30 minutes each.

    Why should the Atma drop rate be lowered again?

    I think he means even higher.

    And yes, I have thought about it. Especially, as I am now wanting to make BLM my main DPS and want to work on the Stardust Rod. But, the insane amount of work to put in to eventually get an i115 weapon. However, on the flip side, not sure when I will beat T9, and if I do, if the HA staff would drop for me.

    Animus stage got already a nerf. With roulette you can buy a new book now all 2 days (all 1 day if you do every roulette) .

    Some people having Ninja Nexus alread doesn't really mean Atma would be easier to obtain, many people already had the atmas and alexandrites collected before the patch hit, leaving only the books and lights to do.

    But yes, the drop rates are significantly higher.

    It took me 3 months and over 100 hours of farming Atmas to get my first weapon. After the patch I decided to test out the new drop rates. I farmed up TWO Atma sets in about 2 weeks through very casual play. The Atmas would drop at a rate of about 20%, with most dropping in 1 - 5 FATEs, and occasionally taking 10, 15, 20 to get.

    Atmas drop WAY more frequently, and I plan on getting all my Relics an Atma set now.

    I'd say the drops are way more reasonable now for sure. went from 180 hours to get only 2 atma (prepatch) to like maybe 11 to get the other 10 (post patch).
