I agree that they need to buff the drop rate. I went from sub 300 fates when I started atma in april to 1100+ when I got the last drop start of June. And that was with quite a few weekends doing NOTHING but atma farming(started friday afternoon(so some 6h) then saturday(woke up started usually at 09:00/10:00, lunch break, a break here and there... and then went onward to 22:00). My drop rate was... 3 in April when I started, 3 at start of May... then 3 mid May and 3 end of May/start of June. I soloed every fate in quite a few zones and know them by heart now.

I started on my second set when hunts came out using the daily fate hunts... now expanded that to trying for half an hour in a zone. Am on 6/12 so apparently it might be worth not griding it but doing as little as possible each day to increase your chance. I did less fates so far to get half way then it took me before to get half way.
