ATMA ATMA ATMA

2.5 is when they plan to continue with the atma/relic weapon storyline. Prior to then, I really doubt there is going to be any nerf whatsoever to the drop rate. 3.0 will finish so maybe sometime between there they might change something. It's SE so I wouldn't count on it.

Except they intend to add more to it in 2.25, and 2.3; Not 2.5...

Insidious, the Zodiac Questline will be updated on in 2.25-2.3 from what we know here...:

Zodiac weapon story is going to start in 2.2 and will continue in all future patches, including minor patches like 2.25 and major patches in 2.3

How I Atma:

1.) don't stay in the same zone for over 1 hour
2.) don't stay in the fate until it completes/ends/finishes, do your thing and get moving to the next fate
3.) ???
4.) watch the glorious multiple pop ups when the fates end

What if only 1 atma is still missing?

Take a break and do other content.

1 atma missing is a good problem to have

Grind until you get it or pray to the Atma voodoo

Making it "different" because you can't seem to get it = making it "easier" to obtain. Now, where's my free hand outs?

No one wants easy.

But having something in place to where you actually earn the rewards is more satisfying and worth doing multiple times.

My favorite part of the whole Atma debacle is how there has been precisely zero response from any devs or community reps indicating that any of the complaints are being heard or any changes to the system are being considered. Meanwhile, the single thread about Leviathan mirror drop rates screwing WHMs and PLDs gets a speedy response from Yoshida himself.

That's because the mirror drops give an advantage to job classes that only use two-handed weapons in terms of the final upgrade. To upgrade the weapon/shield takes two mirrors rather than one. Atma is fair across the board because it's truly random, therefore giving an advantage to no one.

The logic in that really isn't that difficult to grasp.

Your post argues in my favor. Why should something feel like a job when it's made for fun?

He's telling you to go do something else.
Atma quest is optional, you don't have to do it if you don't like it.
There's plenty of other contents in the game.

Like everything else, when the new patch is out, 2.25 2.3 or whatever, old content gets easier. Do it then, and focus on something else
