Longest Time for Receiving Atma

[Alice_89th]

When you've got bad luck you've got bad luck.

My longest was Western Thanalan as well, but even then it was only 8 hours in total (with 4 hours straight before I got it).
The most hilarious thing was that I ran into an fc member and we joined up for fun. In the hour we were together before I got mine he got 6.

As if to make up for it I got 3 in one hour after that *shrugs*. Such is life I guess.

Personally I found that it really helps to turn of the game bgm and put up some music you like, grab a drink, and settle in like you are in for the long run. Don't expect that ATMA to drop in the next fate every time, it only makes it frustrating when it doesn't.

32 hours total so far on Central Thanalan: Atma of the Scales--still have not obtained

Southern Thanalan: Atma of the Scorpion---9 hours
Eastern Thanalan: Atma of the Bull---------3 hours
Western Thanalan: Atma of the Twins------6 hours
Middle La Nocea: Atma of the Ram---------12 hours

Will report back with final numbers when all are obtained.

I got the same experience for days and I even suspected my zenith was a fake goods. ^^; Are you sure your zenith is legit?

So far I've gotten two. My first took around 8 hours and the second took 2 F.A.T.Es.

Pretty much the same here, longest took me 8-9 hours (not continous), and one i don´t even wanted dropped after 3 FATEs ^^

[Erudain]

finally got my Scorpion atma last night after farming 12hs on Saturday and 10 hours Sunday.....fun time indeed lol

[AeirTalies]

It took me 73 hours to find my 5th Atma. And yes by that I mean constant running from fate to fate during the counted hours.

I feel ya on this....I farmed Atma of the Goat in E.Shroud 3-4 hours a day for over 1 month...but check this...that Japanese Atma theory, there is def something to that. I farmed in the theorized time frame and bam..Goat dropped, also the last 4 I need I aalso farmed in the JPN theory timeframe and got all 4 w/o fail in the correct times. Everyone needs to look in to that..helped me out alot
