This has to be a Bug! (ATMA)

[Tith]

I'm farming my adorable little BUTT off to get these stupid crystals and SE has the BALLS to put 2 crystal drops in the same zone each with a 1% drop rate....so that one the rare happenstance you GET a stone there's a 50% chance you can get one you ALREADY HAVE!

that's right people, I have TWO Scales stones...when I need a maiden and a scales...


this is STUPID! Why are this stones not EX so you can only get one of each. I will never repeat this quest, it's far to tedious to be worth it on more then one job. <.< I feel completely robed.

Sorry to say but the second one in central thanalan is a mistake. It should say central shroud? If i remember correctly. There are 3 in shroud, 4 in thanalan, 5 in limsa each in a different zone.

Yep, it is a mistake, Atma of the Maiden drops in Central Shroud... Think of it this way, you got a head start for your second Atma weapon

Refer to this thread for the full list of Atmas and locations: FAQ: Zodiac Weapons & You

Drop rate is actually far worse than that.

[Undeadfire]

The drop rate is 2.%-3% roughly, going lower and you will never see it.

[Caraway]

Drop rate is actually far worse than that.

Highly unlikely. It's more likely to be around 5%. People just get caught up in the fallacy that 5% means that if they do something 20 times they should get it within that period; whereas the truth is each time you only have a 1 in 20 chance of getting it at all.

If you want to see what sub 1% drop-rates actually feel like; go Card farming in Ragnarok Online.

[TaintedSpud]

20 minutes? Try 5 hours a day for 4 days with zero Atma.

Suddenly ESO is looking mighty tempting...
