Atma drop rate?

[Meenesfeja]

I am now trying to get my second atma wep... After 2 hours of farming, got 2 of them - so seems like the same drop rate as previously.

I thought it had been increased too. I went a few weeks without a drop pre-patch. Post-Patch, got 7 in 2 days. Now i'm back to farming my last 2 areas for 3 days now and counting.

THREE MORE TO GO!

Oh my god am I the only one STILL doing this?!

I swear yesterday someone in coil scoffed "look he's still wielding bravura lol!"
You know it's not like it's up to me when the damn things are going to drop or not regardless of how many weeks I've now spent in the remaining zones!

The fact that YOU got lucky does not mean it's reasonable to expect everyone can win the lottery.

Oh i feel ya Seif. I hate this atma crap. Insert the usual "oh there are alternatives" crap arguments etc. I'm doing this because i want it, i do also want the alternatives, and i will get them. In fact when i finish with the mindless drool inducing crap that is this RNG, i'm going back to kicking the crap out of extremes and coil just for that very reason lol.

2 to go, was on a roll for a few days there, but back to fervently praying every time i do a fate and hoping to get the bloody atma. Sort it out square, this many posts and threads on this shocking system can't go ignored forever.
(on a side note, a friend started his atma last night, got 3 atma in 3 hours, including one in a zone i've spent days on with nothing happening. Fair? lol.)

I started recording exactly how much time it takes me to get my Atma (my last 7 on my SCH took 19 hours, 21 minutes). The way I'm recording is I set the time I start and count all the time in between, hitting every single fate I can make it to. That means watching the map like hawk. I'll update when I finish collecting the next 10 for Ninja Atma (currently at 2/12 with 1h43m elapsed).

My husband and myself both just finished out atma grind.. won't be touching it for a second weapon any time soon. I'd love to encourage my FC mates to do the same but well.. ST drops the items needed for the weathered weapons. xP

$!(%Y!(^!)^*~! ATMA. I decided to try to progres and I've must have done over like 60 fates already and not a SINGLE atma. Not a piece. I say 60 at least because I'm sure I've done a lot more. Feels like I can rejoin FFXI and get a Dynamis Relic faster than this.

RNGesus can be a cruel bastard sometimes. I've ran Bray Hard for weeks now trying to get the Fistfighters coat and haven't seen it drop once.

Most people have either completely given up on it or are currently grinding for Novus.

atma grinding in the rain



I feel your pain. I've complained about this and, my Thread was taken down already

Was doing atma grind last night. Got two fairly quick (within an hour). Then tried my luck in Upper La Noscea. Spent 4 hours and only missed MAYBE 3 fates because they were on opposite sides, and not 1 drop. Is it just Upper La Noscea that has this poor drop rates? Or have I just been super unlucky?
