I completed my Thyrus Atma at a stage of the game when the majority of the players were also grinding theirs. Completing F.A.T.E's at that time was quick and effortless. Every single time I completed one, I always had Gold Participation and the F.A.T.E's were always successful.

Now, I'd like to work on another Atma weapon and I have heard some theories on what is actually required to claim a F.A.T.E. in order to have the chance at an Atma dropping. I'm hoping that with the communities help I could separate some myths from some facts.

Note: Please provide screen shot's (when possible) to support your answers. Thanks!
