No changes to ATMA?

I refuse to believe you spent 100 hours and only got 4 atma's... Maybe 100 hours have gone by since you been trying, but 100 hours of straight fates? Come on bro...

It's easy to think that something is simple when you're one of the people the RNG favors

Assuming from my OWN personal experience:

I can generally do 15-20 FATEs per hour without huge problems (porting whenever there's no fate around in this zone, not doing fates that take 12+ minutes which of course you can only do until you hit 10 or 11/12).
So in 100 hours of farming that would be around 1.5k-2.5k Fates depending on speed/luck. Most people assume theres a 2% chance to drop an atma in any given Fate, while your droprate would be something between 0.07% and 0.04% assuming above numbers and assuming you'd drop your first ATMA within the next few fates.

I'm not saying you're lying, but if that is indeed correct then you're probably the unluckiest person in the world :P

I'm at 7/12 now after roughly 400 Fates which is pretty close to the presumed 2%, however, my first ATMA took around 200 FATEs while the last 6 took also around 200 Fates. Most people I've talked to had a streak of unluck at some point and hit 100-300 Fates without a drop, but 2k seems ridiculous even at 1%. So you either have my condolescences for having such incredibly bad luck, or you're just telling a lie here and actually haven't farmed 100 hours but played 100 hours doing a few hundred fates or so :P

This ^^ and I really don't remember how long it took to get my Atma's. But I do know that I didn't see my first atma till 5 hours of farming. I was asking people what it looked like, and what to look for because I was confused. And my last one took 8 hours, and that was Southern Thanalan, and that 8 hours was the second time I was there, so... But in between me not getting drops, I tell you one thing. I never came on these threads until I was done...
