I need a honest opinion about the Atma drop rate......

[Wobble]

If you don't like atma you will hate novus. I got my animus finally and don't plan to go further.

[Radkat]

Don't you guys remember those threads here where people wanted open world events or bosses that has low drop rate of useful/valuable stuff like NMs in FFXI?

Yeah. This is a mild version of that, since everyone has a good chance of obtaining luck-based items, while in FFXI you needed to camp everyday with your ls and take months to actually get your drop.

[Chihaya]

Oh, the OP again...

Guess you couldn't move on.

1 Book away from 2nd Animus and 3 Atma for 3rd Atma weapon while spiritbinding to meld onto Novus scrolls.
And I can only play a few hours a night except weekends.

ooo boy that ones really gonna get the casuals kicking and screaming haha


(but i agree)

Not really.
Minako simply called it like she saw it. Nothing wrong with that.
The casual gamers that care for top tier content will do whatever they can to obtain the gear that is necessary to tackle on top tier content.

I have done alot of timesinks and I will say this is bar far the worst

Worse than Magian?

[Andres_Lonegrief]

I started to grind ATMA with a BLM instead of my SMN. Maybe It's just a placebo but it looks like it is a bit easier. Anyway, I still need 5 atmas: I'll upgrade only my main (SMN) weapon and start farming leviathan ex as soon as I get good. At least, Primal Ex are challenging, while low level FATEs are just dumb and prevent new player to level their characters.

low level FATEs are just dumb and prevent new player to level their characters.

if it wasnt for atma people wouldnt be doing FATES at all, having lvl 50's around to help down FATES helps the new folks more than hurts them.

for what its worth tho, new players shouldnt be grinding fates to lvl up anyways. they should be learning how to properly play their jobs in group settings like dungeons or guildhests.

[Yoohre_WildRiver]

i was lucky , i got 12 atmas in 1 week and a half, i would not stop until i got at least 1 atma a day.

[Dragoon4life]

Use the clock theory its not proven but and ppl keep saying it BS but it workout for me.
There should be a way to guarantee an atma. Its a lot of luck based grinding with absolutely no reward.

[Felis]

I've done ONE MILLION FATES AND ACHIEVED NOTHING
