Atma

[DAYvonte]

Hi, I just got my Zenith weapon and have a question about atmas. I know that I have to do fates but I was wondering if I should save the atma things I get for the new healer class coming out (idk if you can do that) because I heard it takes a long time to get the 12 atma things. I know the patch comes in spring but idk if I want to get all 12 again.

The Atma drop rates are now much higher so you'll probably get all 12 in an afternoon or two so I would personally just say use them now and get more later (or if you have a second level 50 job who also has a Zenith weapon, you can farm Atmas with that for later use).

here's the times for best drops

the times are in jst, so if you're est, Google jst to est to see what area togo to

^ take that time thing with a large pinch of salt. I did all my atma before the drop rate increase and got them all in 5 days without ever once lining up with the time for any given zone.

RNG is RNG, sometimes you get 4 amta in 4 fates, sometimes you get none from 200 fates.

Got all mine in 3 days at about 2 to 3 hours a day, before the increase ,I just randomly picked zones.

I had 2 friends who used the guide and It took them each about 2 weeks (no they didn't just do fates for days. They would try for 2 to 3 hours a day going by the guide) .

ever since I went by the jst times, I've gotten at least 1 per hour, usually 2

Take some time to properly understand randomness and chance and you will understand why that statement makes no sense.

Humans have a basic instinct that makes them see patterns where there are none. When presented with a truly random pattern, people will always pick out some pattern, even though none exists.

i remember i spent about 3 days doing fates for about 6 hours each and i only got 3 atma, all within the same hour on the same day, at the same map
considerably less than when i now go off the reddit post

Ty all, first time doing atmas and from what i heard before it took a long time, didnt know about the increase rate

I did all 12 atmas last weekend, over maybe 5 hours of fates. With the increased drops it is not as bad. However now that there are so many tiers it is still some time before you catch up.
