Alexandrite Fate drop rates

[dcdistro]

Has anyone started a thread or documenting the frequency of the drop rates?
Any particular zone that has better drops etc? If not maybe we can start keeping track here and start working on something

I hear it's based on the time of the japanese day.

Statistics are indicating that it's a 1% drop for the person who got the killing blow to complete the fate. If you do not get the finishing blow or participate in a gathering fate, then your odds are (supposedly) 0%.

I heard it's based on the biological clock of the sound director's second cousin on his mother's side.

Very funny.

Anyways, based on all that we know, alexandrites seem to have the exact same level of RNG as atma. I wouldn't expect any time based placebos to make any difference in rate of drops.

I had much better luck with atmas, about 5-10% but I know I was lucky, I've manage to grab 4 alexandrites from just under 500 fates so far, all of them came from Mor Dhona, I would say 400ish of the fates were done there.

I hear it's based on the weather.

I was very lucky with atma drops in FATEs but I have yet to get an Alexandrite from them. I tried for a couple hours in a few areas on the first few days Novous was released and then gave up because it felt like I was wasting my time. The areas I tried and failed at are: Camp Bronze Lake, Camp Overlook, Summerford Farms, Aleport, Camp Bluefrog/Processing Plant and Dragonhead. Every minute I didn't get a drop from a FATE I could have been working towards grinding myth for an Alexandrite.

Just providing some information. I think Alexandrite's are exactly the same as atma's; strictly RNG.

Huh, I'd been under the impression that Alexandrite drops MUCH more rarely from FATEs than Atmas. The way I saw it, the daily quest is the default method for collecting Alex. The devs then realized that folks would be outraged that they'd be forced to spend at a minimum 75 days in order to reach the next stage. In order to appease the ravenous gottagetitnownownow folks, they added HORRENDOUS GRINDS that would allow them to obtain additional Alexandrite, since some people deal better with HORRENDOUS GRINDS than others do. It seemed like a great compromise to me, after the disaster that was the Atma collecting stage.

For my part, I'm satisfied with one Alexandrite per day. I may spend Tomestones on Alexandrite every now and then, and if I happen to get one from a FATE, awesome. But actually farm FATEs for Alex? No. Just no.

I've gotten about 12 in 80 fates. I'm told this is really high rate, but I'm unsure.
