So far so good - I've obtained my first 5 atma in roughly 5 hours. However, I want to find out if there is a reason for us being so lucky - if not just for luck.

I have a hunch. I've heard countless stories of people grinding for 12 hours to not obtain a single Atma but then eventually switch zones and grab a different atma right away. I started thinking about a different approach I take when farming atma.

When I atma farm and a fate appears on the opposite side of an Aetheryte on the map I typically "ALWAYS" teleport to the Aetheryte and then choco from there. By any chance do the players who have been lucky do the same thing? Is it possible that the RNG gets adjusted when you zone?

Apologize if this ends up not being useful but I thought it was worth a shot to try to help others.
