RNG doesn't hate you

I can't speak for Alexandrite but I'm pretty sure you need at least silver rating on FATEs for atma. You are right about not having to complete it.
I have gotten atma from failed fates. I have gotten atma from level 3 fates. I have gotten atma from fates on the other side of the zone.

Wait really? I've always seen my FATE's through to the end. Do I.... not.. have to? I understand if someone completes the FATE, but an actual failure? IF so this would make my 2nd Atma grinding so much easier.
