    Yoshi-P: Atma drop % = "it's just luck"

    Confirmed:
    There is no secret to increasing the atrocious, soul-sucking atma drop rates. It really is just RNG luck that wins the day.

    Sad news for those who believe that farming FATEs in certain areas at certain times leads to higher drop rates.

    Also, sad news for anyone like me who isn't "lucky" enough to be in a static or an endgame FC and has to depend on DF/PF to challenge LeviX and 2nd Coil for the other endgame weapons.

    Personally, I got all 12 atmas for Artemis bow in about 24 hours of farming over a week. So though I guess I was one of the "lucky" ones, I won't be doing that again ever. Since there's no guarantee I'll be that lucky again. Also, standing around twiddling my thumbs for 2-3 hours for a non-soloable FATE, then losing because I was the only one there when it spawned, and having to risk that x9...
    Yeeah, I guess if they apparently only intend one Animus per player they surely succeeded with me ._.; oh well

    Like absolutely everything else in a video game, it's not about need it's about greed

    y; thank you
    p; regarding atma
    p; this time we have a new zodiac quest where we need get 12 atma’s to progress into the quest
    p; the FATEs, I’ve spent the whole day running FATEs and haven’t gotten one
    p; and I was wondering if the devs are thinking something for this
    p; there has to be some secret even
    y; first are you equipped with zenith
    y; and you’re in the correct area?
    y; ok had to ask first, it’s just luck, there are those who might get in 23hours and others who haven’t gotten, it’s really based on real luck
    y; there’s some occult rumors to run FATEs with time have you tried that
    p; yes, but haven’t gotten it
    y; well lets talk over about your real luck later
    f; were you nervous
    p; yes, well it’s players against the producer, so for sure
    f; challenger lost
    y; I think everyone has better drop rate than us
    f; thank you
