Alex drop rate?

[Kyomagi]

What is the current Alex drop rate from fates atm?

[Evangela]

I think it's as high as Atma or even higher.

I've heard the number 10% float around the forums. In my personal experience, I tend to get 2-3 of them per hour in Northern Thanalan.

[Kyomagi]

thank you, i'll stick around there then

[Kyomagi]

is there a good spot to just non stop farm fates? i have heard summerford farms

N. Thanalan is still the best place since all the fates there don't have level syncing and a lot of people are farming so the fates will be finished faster than anywhere else.

I was unlucky as hell in N Thanalan - farmed there two days long and got there only 2...never went back...
I farmed in central la noscea - there were always groups and when there were none, I opened one, met some nice ppl who always returned to farming with me over the day^^ It has gotten pretty emotional when I got my last and had to left, I'm not even kidding oO
Yes, it's pretty annyoing to do low lvl fates and I'd loved to get all the atmas in N Thanalan but as I said, I was really unlucky - at least I could SB in thanalan to get nice Materia
Most efficient way to farm alex is to join a group who does fates and hunts
When u are more lucky than me, then N thanalan is the best place to go

I prefer Central Thanalan because there're a lot of low level FATEs around. If you're solo there, you pretty much can nuke all these FATEs in no time.

Some people say chance Atma < chance Alex, but in my condition, chance Atma > chance Alex.

If you want spiritbond + gc seals + alex, North Thanalan is a good place. If you want only fast alex, Summerford Farms is the good place.

This is exactly how I did it. Spiritbonded and capped GC seals in N. Than then went to Summerford Farms solo for the last 20-25 that I needed. The problem that I found with N. Thanalan is if something occurs where the entire horde doesn't go to the same FATE as you, then it takes forever to kill. Also when people begin to log off for the night, the FATEs are still geared towards a larger population. Summerford Farms has a pretty small area, almost always a FATE up and can always be solo'd quickly.
