I've been procrastinating, but today i finally started. I've done 3 critical engagements so far and have gotten 3 atmas.
I've been procrastinating, but today i finally started. I've done 3 critical engagements so far and have gotten 3 atmas.
Currently at 60 CEs (idk about fates, probably half of that since the enemies died so fast I can barely keep up)
3 yellow, 4 orange, 3 purple, 1 dark blue (azurite), and 3 green. Still haven't see the last atmas at all.
Tried the fates at the DT zone for an hour tonight, but no result.
got pretty much 17/18 from OC ( Souch Horn ) from around 2-3 days leveling up to 20 and doing a few of the ph. jobs... approximately between 10-15 hours
I regretted moving out of OC/SH to get my last one, wasted 5 hours of litterally getting no additionally in return..
So do your stuff in new zone fates + CE in there is better by far.¨
EDIT:
OC/SH also made me have surplus Atmas in various kinds... so yes better drop rate given the time spend, if had focused harder could probably had finished the grind 4-5 hours earlier but just went with the flow and got as much xp and experience from the general area in, instead.

I did fates in the DT zones. It felt like a 5% droprate, but overall took about 4.5 hours to get the 13 I needed. I had a single of 5 types from leveling to 20 in OC before hopping over to that.
I did 16/18 ATMAs in CEs and it seems I needed more Fates/CEs than others. The last 2 Verdis I went and did in DT since that area is under-represented in zone events and I joined probably 30 people in DT who also only needed Verdis.
It took me 18 Fates to get the 1st one, and another 28 to get the second one.
I will say some people in my group started complaining about 10 fates in and claiming they are impossible to get - so I feel some people may overestimate how long they've been at it.
Literally got 5 Atma in 100 FATEs so it still seems clearly a 5% rate from those.
And the roughly 20% rate (17 Atma) still seems consistent for CEs after doing 79 of them, which is really a night and day difference in how worthwhile they are to do over FATEs.
My final stats (sorry, I didn't have the patience to track which demiatmas dropped from which "specific" region):
- Southern Horn: 47 FATEs, 26 CEs, 14 demiatma total -- 14 / 73 ~= 20%.
- Dawntrail regions: 73 FATEs*, 5 demiatma total -- 5 / 73 ~= 7%.
*I didn't actually count how many FATEs I did in Dawntrail zones, so I'm using an over-estimate based on 16 bicolor gemstones per fate.
I have extras of the other colors except Verdigris and Yellow atmas so I've had to move outside since after 100 CE, inside they never showed up.
For the first hour, things were looking up as I got 1 Yellow and 1 Verdigris, but then the second hour passed after I came back from my break, and nothing dropped. I figured I'd take a break for the day, but I'm not really into Fate farming overall. I feel like I just need 3 more atmas, so I'm resisting the urge to live in the 2 DT areas.

I did not keep track of the overall pacing, but I had half of my Phantom jobs leveled (6) before I got my last one.
Edit: I also should note that it took me 6 days to get everything.
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.
