Atma drop rate possible analysis/question

[Iskander]

So we all know that Atmas drop from all fates in specific areas of Eorzea. The drop rate is extremely low and is completely up to the RNG dice on whether you get a drop or not. At currently 5 atma obtained, I've noticed something that made me think. I've currently obtained all my atma from Boss Fates. While farming these atma, it was always within several boss fates that I would have one drop (I think the longest was dropped within 6 boss fates after starting in the area). It makes me think that just maybe the Boss Fates might have a slightly higher drop rate for these atma as compared to collection and multiple enemy fates. Can anyone else confirm or dismiss this? If they do have a slightly higher drop rate, even if its by like 2% only, I think it'd be interesting information to know.

Mmm i think i only got 2 atmas from "boss" fates. It's just random

im going to have to say that might not be the case. when i logged in yesterday and did a fate, it was a normal kill enemies fate, and i got the drop. so far, i havent gotten an atma drop from a boss fate except for lion.

Idk but I'm starting to get frustrated in outer la noscea where almost every fate in u'ghamaro mines is a boss fate. Been there for several hours with no drop.

I'm 9/12 on "Boss" FATEs and 7/9 of those solo (o.o ) Its just superstition though imho :3

At least you'll get a lot of fate items for your daily tribe quest . You won't need to do more fates...................... yay?

Lol that's what I was thinking. Of course I haven't gotten a fate beast tribe quest since the first day.

For me it's been 50-50. It's more of a luck of draw thing that there being any sort of advantage if you target particular fates best on their level or if they are boss fates.

The 3 inside aren't bad because you don't get that major set back due to level-sync. As a blm with my healer chocobo I can solo those boss fates within the time limit. Yet it doesn't really matter because I've been stuck on that Atma for 2 days now. Once I get back and keep at it I doubt my luck is gonna magically change so I have no idea how long I'm gonna be stuck to that zone.

I am pretty sure that it is completely random. I will say though, that if the changed it to go from dropping at the end of the fate to dropping from any possible mob in the fate things would probably be a lot less stressful on the playerbase.

One of the two I got was from a gathering fate. had to confiscate contraband from the rat people. My other was a mob fight gate where I had to kill the same named creatures while defending something.
