Atma Japanese TheoryFollow

The jist of it is, there's a zone for Atma farming tied to a time with an hour long window.

I went out to test this, farmed for 35 minutes and nothing. Then I realized I was in the wrong zone (wrong translation). I ported over to Central Thalaan instead of Shroud, and boom, Atma in my first fate.

Player also assumes you can only get 4 Atma every 8 hours. Participation doesn't matter, medal wise.

Well my question now is, if it's linked to time, why is it that people in parties don't all get an atma at the same time?

I assume real world time and not game time?

And those are JST?

I have noticed that when I am in parties, when someone says "Oh, I got it!" and leaves, someone else will almost always get one within 1 or two FATEs. Occasionally it runs a chain. I have also personally observed two people in the same party get one at the same time. And to debunk more myths, I got 8 of mine as black mage, and 2 of mine as paladin. So as long as you have a relic zenith equipped you can get the atma to drop.

snip....

Updates based on the thread and my own testing:

FATE times are SERVER TIME. Not Eorzea time, or your local time.

I just got Atma of the Water Bearer as predicted by my third fate in Upper La Noscea at 3:11 AM server time.

Edit: Better translation of the schedule:

Doing FATEs during the window has resulted in 4 atmas dropping after rougly 5-15 mins each.

However in Central Thanalan I did FATEs for the whole hour during the window without seeing a drop.

Nope server time and PST are the same. It's 3:34am PST and 3:34 ST right now. Still holds water as I'm pretty sure it dropped right after 8

ETA so let's say I got the lion at 805pm. Also just got the goat. 445am. Also matches the timetable.

How would this even work? Couldn't you just adjust the clock on whatever system you're playing on to fool it?

Snap back to reality guys. Allowing the local client the ability to store hackable game sensitive information is so.... Phantasy Star Online.
