    72 hours for 2 Atmas?

    I have nothing more to add to the existing conversation. Just frustrated and looking for an outlet. ><

    3 weeks - 6 Atmas. Trying to do 1-2 hrs a day and about the same luck as you. Anymore than 2 hours and I fall asleep on my keyboard.

    The timezone thing is just a placebo, I tried 2 zones at their specific JP times 2 days in a row with no drop. Luck based RNG is just that. I went about 20+ hours of farming, an hour or 2 a day, and only ended up with two atma. Yesterday I sat down and went on the grind hard, and was able to get the remaining 10 atma in about 12 hours total (Soloing boss only fates in a few zones was my huge time sink).

    Just keep at it, and eventually you will get the atma, may RNGesus be with you.

    Ditto. I tried the timezone trick and it was just smoke and mirrors. I got all my atmas by doing them at random times

    :/ Idunno what to tell you guys. I've only spent a total of around 6 to 8 hours looking for them, having started the quest recently, and at the time of writing this have 11/12 Atma. It's just RNG being terrible, as it always is. The only time I ever ran into a problem while hunting them was when I forgot to empty my inventory because I didn't know that for about 45min it was full, so I couldn't find anything anyway.

    Best of luck!

    My problem isn't that this is hard. It's not hard. Low level FATE grinding. If anything it's easy, but boring. The problem is that there's no gauge for how well you're doing. I've burned 80 hours of my life at this point, sitting in front of my computer doing content that bores me for very little payout. The kick in the teeth is seeing people doing the same thing in 10 - 20 hours. Why do I get punished because I'm not as lucky as them? What a terrible system for advancement. ><
