What is your Atma Drop Rate & Farming Method

[Kozh]

Finally done with atma grind
Stats:
74 Fates, 76 CEs
(Plus probably around 10 koza fates)

Total: 21 atmas

I got lucky that 1 azurite and 2 verdigris drop from Fates insteas of CE.

Finally, just finished farming the atmas it was 5 hours in the DT zones for the last 3, and I did over a few days. It was easier than ARR relics but it was super boring farming the 1st DT zone for 2-3 hours when everything died and getting bicolor gems but only being able to buy crafting mats.

Total: 20 hours

I got 4/5 base Silver set, 1x Oracle job, and 3x maxed PJ. I'm not sure if I want to bother getting the missing dropped job stones since I'm not doing FT for a long time, and CE was boring after the 100th one.

I've spent most of my time in the Crescent, save for a few hours farming out in the world (which yielded nothing; everything has come from OC).

Currently at 69 fates and 53 critical engagements. Knowledge level 20, 2 phantom jobs maxed.

2 Realgar, 1 Orpiment, 5 Malachite, 4 Caput Mortuum and 3 Azurite. Not a single Verdigris in sight.

The Caput Mortuum seemed to take the longest for me whereas the yellow gummies (I think its Orpiment?) I had in spades.
I did pretty much all of my Atma farming in OC until I went to farm fates with an FC mate.
Based on our experiences, I would definitely say that OC has better drop rates for Atma than farming fates in DT zones; we were farming her last set for like 6 hours over the weekend before any dropped.
Its easier to make it to the fates in the overworld though since they just get deleted in OC, so I guess you have a choice between convenience and a higher drop rate.

I hate Occult Crescent so I've been doing it outside of OC and in the DT zones. It is very hit and miss. For example, Shaaoloni it took me 10 hours and like 80+ fates to get the 3 atma from that zone. Then I went to Yak'tel and all three popped for me three fates in row within 10 minutes.

[Granyala]

3hrs of the DT zone with the Pelu Pelu settlement: ~45 FATES, one Azure drop.
2hrs in OC doing Criticals: no drop. Did not record how many we did. A few but not overly much, as it was the first visit to the zone.

Prefer to do the farming outside of OC, since I can do shared FATES and level other classes. It boggles the mind why we have to be Lv 100 for OC.

Kitten's definitely going to need a few Snickers™ for this one.

Players should be able to buy specific Demiatmas with bicolor gems, and silver coins.

[CCheshire]

Honestly, unless you're OK with 10x longer atma grind outside OC, I'd just stay inside to farm CE since it's faster overall. It's just super boring to sync'd down each time and make a huge circuit of the map for hours in DT areas for often nothing for days, from what I've read already.

So SE seemed to confirm that the droprate is 20% from CEs and 5% from FATEs, therefore there is no point in me gathering more data. My final data is:

CE Data:
19.78% (37 Atma / 187 CEs * 100)

FATE Data:
4.85% (18 Atma / 371 FATEs * 100)

And now I know that even pretty early on, division ends up pretty accurate tbh. My initial assumptions were spot on.
