Longest Time for Receiving Atma

[Laurell]

I'm honestly ashamed with myself at how much time I've spent in lower la noscea... I just keep thinking "Well I'll just do one more fate,,, ooo another popped near by!" and the hours have just melted by.

[Tarethen]

My first four atma didn't take that long. When I started my fifth (Central Shroud), I thought it would go by fairly quickly. Nope. I think I've been hunting for that one for about three weeks now. The game threw me a bone, though, when I popped into Lower La Noscea, did one fate, and got that atma on the first try.

Then I went back to Central Shroud... and nothing. It's becoming frustrating and I lose a little part of my soul after ever fate that doesn't drop the atma...

I have done over 500 FATEs without a single item drop

I think I spent a total of 15 hours straight on Atma of the Scorpion... That was sad.

about 12+ hrs East shroud.

Oh jez do not remind me of thanalan. The atma of twin (central thanalan if i recall) took me 2 weeks to get, very painful indeed

[WellFooled]

I was in the North Shroud for a good week and a half, totaling in at something like 15 to 20 hours. Still I had good fortune, most of my Atmas were obtained within an hour, only a handful of them were any trouble.

6 hours Western Thanalan I think. It was bad, but in retrospect not nearly as bad as the myth grind.

[Odd]

I don't know how many hours, but I've been grinding in central shroud for 3 weeks now, and still no drop. Sometimes for 30 min or less, sometimes for 3+ hours.

My last Atma was 18 hours over a few days.
