Fix ATMA drop [LIKE] Thread

[SythSynner]

5% DR is a good rate. Leave it be.

If players really try to do the FATEs and went solo (with or without Chocobo) they will get their Atmas faster.

Doing a FATE or two and calling it quits will get you no where like 45% of the players have been doing. If you want loot and good gear handed to you, go play WoW.

Atma takes about 2~5 hours per drop and just the fates for the Animus are about that much.

Animus fates are not all 3-4 hr pops. It's quite literally a total of like 6 fates out of the 27 you have to do that have very long 3+ hr pops. You can knock out an Animus book in a window of 5-6 hrs playing optimally.

It might be easier now that hunts are a thing. I'm disillusioned by doing Animus when it tough to do. So forgive my ignorance.

They've also reduced the times on some of the fate spawns since Animus's initial conception. Hunts is part of it but you can farm Myth far more easily off running new people through EX Primals or T1-T5.

Actually grinding FATEs instead of moaning about the drop rate on here.

Poetically enough those moaning about the drop rate on here could go out, do a couple FATEs and get a couple atma after they have had their say here while you have actually been grinding FATEs and end up with nothing. When the amount of FATEs grinded has nothing to do with acquiring atma, your comment comes up rather moot.

No, fates you pop in and check and if theyre not there you do something else. You dont have to stand around waiting, lol.

And I have a log for every Atma, my average was 7.2 hours. You may have gotten better luck, thats nice for you.

[Exstal]

I didn't log all my Atma but with the ones I recorded, I have an average time for 2.67 hours. I always did the fates last but since everyone was doing fates at the same time, they did not live long while they were up. But I fully expect my Warrior's Animus to take much longer than the Atma portion.



I didn't record SCH one properly because it was something of an afterthought. But it's my anecdotal evidence versus yours. We'll never agree.

I mean, we do kind of agree -- its individual per person. Yours took 2.67, mine took 7.2.

Mine for comparison:

Archer - 12 hours
Bull - 5.5 hours
Crab - 9.5 hours
Fish - 9 hours
Goat - 4.5 hours
Lion - 16 hours (this one was insane, I nearly gave up)
Maiden - 2 hours (yay)
Ram - 5 hours
Scales - 3.5 hours
Scorpion - 1 hour (!!!)
Twins - 10.5 hours
Water Eater - 8 hours

So far my Animus has been going much faster than that. (6.8/9 books complete).


That said, I also kind of agree that _absolute_ time on Animus is higher due to Fate spawns, but as I said I can just do a quick tele-check and see if its up and if not do something else. So the actual time spent on the books is much less, I just can't guarantee I can finish them in a night or anything. Whereas Atma you actually have to sit there and grind it out.

[Exstal]

When I was doing Animus (when it was new) it took 9~12 hours per book. It was pretty awful.

Bray was 3 hours
Mobs was 30m~1hr
Dungeons were 2~3 hours (low level players are slow)
Fates varied from 3~6 hours (I was 2/3 on fates and I was camping one in Southern Thana that took 5 hours to spawn =_=)

But it's been said it's nerfed so maybe the second time won't be so painful.

and there you go ignorantly defining a duration based on your own luck.

it can be 5 minutes to 65 days because its RNG
