    Thank you for the response! I have the quest, but admittedly skipped a lot of the dialogue when I picked it up. Also, didn't think to check the DB haha

    I completely understand there are a lot of variables here to consider, so it would be very difficult to pin down something like this. Personally, I don't have the time or patience to log something like this, and have never actually "farmed" Atmas. It is quite possible that yes, it is truly random. Which is not bad thing, imo. However, doing research on this kind of thing would be awesome. Players used to do things like this in FFXI for figuring out drop rates/spawn times/stat calculations etc.

    My hat goes off to these people, they have a far better tolerance of grinding and calculating then I do. I personally could not do it, but since you CAN get multiples of the same Atma, I could see it possible for people to obtain the drop rate calculations through this by staying in one zone and just grinding until they obtained enough Atma to collect the data from. Well beyond my pay grade and/or time constraints.
