What is your Atma Drop Rate & Farming Method

[mallleable]

The secret is to trick the 'desire sensor,' and do anything else besides actively pursue demiatmas. I got 5 phantom jobs leveled by the time I was able to get all of the required demiatmas. Actively trying to get the ranger soul stone fragment meant the game would annoy me by giving me duplicate demiatmas or notes instead. lol

Now I just have to experience the despair of not getting the new emote from chests.

The murphy's law basically, lol.

Updating my states.

97 CEs, 165 Fates.
I have 14 usable Atmas, and 6 that are just extra and useless.

I do wish they would stop dropping at 3 since you can't use any more, but I think they get a chuckle when people keep getting ones they can't use.

I finished yesterday with them.
The hardest atma was the verdigris one, because only a few fates (Dehumidifier, that mud pie, and the pot fate with the tentacle eye) and the CE with the Cloister Demon dropped it. I had like 5-7 each of the others before I saw the second one.

Why are the Yellow atma drop rates so f*cking stupid when in the occult crescent??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

[Valence]

Final tally for me:
63 CEs
127 FATEs
20 atmas

-> which makes it an overall 10.5% droprate both comprised.

I do not count the hours of fates I have tried in normal DT zones since I got no atma from there at all.

Sharing what I still know from my farming, I didn't note down exact numbers but this is how it went for me:

Tuesday: Farming Occult Crescent Fates and CEs from 1pm to 1am (with some breaks and also finishing up the zone story), also did a few fates to check the drop rate which dropped 2 Living Memory Atma, and ended up with 13 Atma iirc, one extra
Wednesday: Farming Occult Crescent Fates and CEs from 2pm to 6pm, at which point I only missed one Urqopacha Atma which I farmed with zone Fates until 7pm (maybe 20 Fates, lots of waiting for them to spawn)

I was not yet knowledge level 20 when I finished (I would have been if I didn't go for zone fate farming for the last Atma) and completed less than 50 Fates and CEs both since I got the achievements for both after my first relic. I had around 5 extra Atma iirc. I did approximately 40 of CEs and Fates each, so 80 in total for ~20 atma for 25% drop chance. At worst, my OC drop rate would be 98 (49/49 CEs/Fates) for 17 Atma, which would be a 17.34% drop rate, but I did get a few extra Atma from OC, so this is just a lowest estimate. As for shared Fates I did maybe 30 Fates for 3 Atma, so a 10% drop chance there. 40 Fates would make for a 7.5% drop chance, but I'm not sure how many I actually did, so those are just rough guesses. Overall I spent maybe 1 1/2 hours on Fates.

Compared to what I've heard and seen from other players and friends, this is an extremely high drop chance. I finished the grind ~33 hours after server maintenance was over, but I spent roughly 16~17 hours on it.

Atma Drop rate seems heavily unbalanced



ill get the last one from fates now just to be done with this.

It's the critical engagement distribution that's unbalanced. One of the atmas only has a single CE that drops it, while all the others have multiple which all get spawned more often by the players.

actually not, all zones have about the same amount of fates and CE,

The Purple Atma has only one fate though (but 3 bossfights), and that very often died so fast that i couldnt land a hit on it.

i am not really sure why it was so uneven, perhaps just bad luck..
