Alexandrite FATE drop increase?

[The_Last_Dragoon]

I know it hasn't been out for long, but did anyone confirm that there was actually a significant increase in Alexandrite drops? If it's anywhere near the new drop rates on Atmas then that means that FATE farming is the new way to go with them.

Well RNG is RNG so even with the increased drop rate you can be unlucky and not get squat. I did like 20 fates and got two alexandrites kept doing more because I only needed two more for my Warrior and got diddly squat even after doing like 30 fates.

Sounds like they only really doubled the drop rate, if its taking that long. If you were farming atma, with the new rate, you would certainly have many more atma then you do alex.

Day one of patch I was getting alexandrite about every 5-10 fates, got 4 that day but didn't really do alot of fates. Since then alexandrite been dry did about 1hrs worth of CH fates came away with 2 alexandrite

I am tempted to try this out but I want to make sure I have all the abilities at my disposal. Do you have a recommendation on which zone. I was thinking northern than or maybe even Coerthas.

It would be awesome if you could have your animus and farm atma at the same time as Alex. They should allow animus to be able to still collect Atma.

I did more alex farming and got 3 lastnight. From my experience its been going in a pattern like farm for 1hr nothing then boom boom boom alex then back to another 1hr grind. Lower level fates been working out better for me, and I mean really low like level 5 fates lol, warped to central than did a 1 level 5 fate bam alex.

Both of my fates were from the one fate just barely outside O'ghomoro Mines in Outer La Noscea. It is level 49. Then I attempter coerthas and nothing.

My question is: Will Alex's drop from FATE's in any zone? Or only in zones where you can get ATMA?

If I was any other class than PLD I would tell you. Fate grinding on pld is.... boring.

Any zone works. I got a few from CCH yesterday.

Drop rate has to be in the range of 10-15% it is very noticeable as compared to the old 1% drop rate. I have gotten 7 total from Fates.
