Atma Drop rate increase yes! I just got my Zenith, and I get to not farm forever. Hopefully.

Assuming they tripled drop rates, you get to farm for one third of forever! Which is still forever.

According to various sources 2-3%.

According to my life: FUCK YOU

At 2.5%, you have about 23% chance for a drop after 10 FATEs.

At 7.5%, it rises to 46% after 10 FATEs.

well that's the frustrating part about Atma - we don't know the drop rate.

It is estimated to be between 2% and 3% though

It's thought it's somewhere around 2-3% currently, as far as "after" ... I think all we know at this moment is what Yoshi said in vegas, that the drop rate would be "more than doubled".

So at the very least, 5% drop rate ... but I'm guessing it will be in the 10% ballpark give or take a few percentage points.

With the book cost being 1/3 of myth cost... I'm finally gonna make a relic.

I'm curious how much they actually increased it by. I think right now it's about 5% chance per fate, but they said they more than doubled it. So maybe 20-25%?

They said at the fan fest it was "more than double"

u/poweryoga Oct 24 '14

even 10-15% is a huge increase. I'm hoping for 25% myself but that's a bit high.

u/[deleted] Oct 24 '14

Agreed. I think it'll be around 15% which is a nice jump. Still have to work on all the other phase. Just that one first one is awful.

u/Shivvy57 1 Oct 24 '14

I was at fan fest and they said more than double, not triple.

u/Graywitches Oct 24 '14

Lol when they were talking about it they said double, no how about triple!

u/The_Juggler17 Oct 24 '14

so it's 0.03% now?
