Need More ATMA

ok crew we need more atma the only way we are going to get this shit is systematically bring weapon that can do elemental ws so think like limbus and you may have to carry multiple weapons and sub sam just to weapon skill.

So what we need to do as a collective group is ensure with our group we can cover the list if not we need ppl to get the skills needed this may mean bringing a ninja main for the katana skill a war/sam changing all the weapons and so on and so forth.

lugahoo

tachi: jinpu

winds day

proc-ed !!, red i think idk, it cause lugahoo to terror

proceed to kill and dropped atma


according to these JPs that been farming atma's they say that:
1. elemental WS produce the !! (red?) that drops atma
2. proc it once for highest drop rate. doing 2 times or 3rd times screws the drop % or even lose the !! effect after
3. not all mobs that pop in the same day produce same result. Group i went today did the exact same elemental WS on lugarhoo but jinpu only proced on the 3rd lugahoo. All popped on same day, so yea, random weakness for every NM is random.

how they did it:
1. everyone sj dnc or /nin for cure and survivability (yup even whm with club skill or staff skill lol)
2. have all weapon types in alliance
3. everyone repeat 1 elemental WS 2-3 times......gain TP on normal mobs, while NM pounding on people lol thats why get DNC or NIN sjs
4. use weak weapon, single wield even if your /nin
5. once u cycle through all ws 2-3 times, report your weapon so that your weapon type is out......go help cure lol
6. mass chaos
7. ???
8. profit! atma is all it matters!

I was doing this for my own use, but figured I would post it for lulz. Dunno if it is useful, but here ya go. I plan on doing grellow and blue later. This is all the confirmed Red !!'s from this post. If someone did not say what color !!, I didn't record it here.

What we've got so far:

Lachrymater:

MY guess? Every NM has a pool of 6-8 weaponskills and spells it can have a weakness to, when it pops one of each of these is selected.

There also seems to be some kind of correlation between the monster's drops and whatnot and its weaknesses, IE Khalamari has a pool of weaponskills almost entirely of dagger and GK weaponskills.

...

On the other hand this could very well be because its drops are for dnc and sam, which means lots of dncs and sams are fighting khalamari.

Thus if the weakness is just straight up 100% random, then whenever it lands on a dagger/GK weaponskill it gets noticed, but when its any other its much less likely to be found simply because no one is there to proc it.

IE, someone said heavy shot gave a !! on Khalamari

Red lotus blade--red !! on Briareus and Ruminator. Atma dropped on Briareus, and...

Atma dropped only to the mule who popped Ruminator and was dropped from ally for someone.

Ok went again today and what a success story!

We had RNG,MNK,SAM,THF,WAR,BLM,RDM,WHM,SMN,PLD and whatnot - 11 people total.

PLD and me SAM had stocked up on all types of weapons we could wield from octave club to pole, sword, polearm etc.

We ended up going 1/1 on Atma on Dozing Dorian and Lungarhoo afterwards!

In both cases it was the PLD that triggered the red !! on both NMs with club elemental skill, im not sure which one cause i had chat filthers on,
- but it was the same club elemental ws that was used by the PLD on these 2 different NMs and gave the red !! and Atma to everyone upon kill.

Both NMs was killed within 15 minutes of each other and as I said with the same Club WS to trigger red !!, so now im wondering:
Could whatever Elemental WS that is needed to trigger the !! be in correspondance to a particular elemental day or moon phase? And not be NM specific whatsoever?

Just speculating since im happy now I got my Atma but trying to help others

I think its safe to say that its already been established that whatever elemental ws needed to trigger !! is not NM specific, since earlier reports of WSs used to trigger !! on Dozing Dorian never worked on earlier runs for us.

Turul - Tachi: Koki - Red !! - Atma
Turul - Blizzaga3 - Grellow !! - Belt, Cape, Amph Hide
(both !! on same Turul)
Eve - Tachi: Jinpu - Red !! - Atma
Kukulkan - Energy Drain - Red !! - Atma
Raskovnik - Raiden Thrust - Red !! - Atma

Edit: Fixed WS on Kukulkan. It was Energy Drain, not Energy Steal.

What I've discerned through rummaging through this thread:

Grellow !! (Greenish Yellow) = (Common drops/AF3 items - Magic Spell)
Any magic spell with the exception of those 76+, merited enfeebles, and single-target tier 1's and 2's.

Blue !! (Rare items - Physical Weapon Skills)
Any non-red !! weaponskill whose skill ranges from 150-289.

Red !! (Key items - Magical Weapon Skills)
-Club-
* Seraph Strike
-Dagger-
* Cyclone
* Energy Drain
-Great Katana-
* Tachi: Goten
* Tachi: Jinpu
* Tachi: Kagero
* Tachi: Koki
-Great Sword-
* Freezebite
-Katana-
* Blade: Chi
* Blade: Ei
* Blade: Tekki
* Blade: To
-Polearm-
* Raiden Thrust
-Scythe-
* Shadow of Death
-Staff-
* Sunburst
* Earth Crusher
-Sword-
* Red Lotus Blade
* Seraph Blade

Please help me eliminate any inaccuracies and what not.

Okay, mystery solved then. Nynja's day relations thing looks right.

Grellow !! = Spell of an element corresponding to the day before, of, or after the day the NM was popped. - Use these to force more seals to drop, crafting items, or AF3+2 items. Seems to give approximately 2 more slots for seals / AF3+2 items to drop in.

Red !! = Freezebite, Cyclone, Energy Drain, Earth Crusher, Starburst, Seraph Blade, Red Lotus Blade, Seraph Strike, Raiden Thrust, Shadow of Death, Blade: Ei, Tachi: Jinpu, or Tachi: Koki - Use to force a key item drop. Atma, Abyssite, or Tier 2 NM pop item.

Blue !! = Who the shit knows. Analysis inc probably. - Increases the drop rate of a "Rare" ~10% drop pretty dramatically, but not to 100% even with TH.

This is NOT a final list, but it is the one I present to my LS for testing. It's very likely a bunch of them aren't triggers, but until we're damned sure, it's what we use.



(It's arranged to the "day of week" theory obviously)

Wiki has a detailed listing now of Atmas:

Even ovni has one worth getting Magic acc Major is sexi

http://wiki.ffxiclopedia.org/wiki/Atma

Added for necessity

Minimum needed to do everything:
(1)BLU/NIN
(2)BLM/RDM
(3)WHM/BRD

Code:

That's the bare minimum of course, now if a group like that can even kill anything is another story

^ Second this. if someone needs a basic template, here's one you can tweak that I'm using atm:

Attempting to proc a !! while stunned from a Red !! will not work
Attempting to proc !! while the monster is stunned using a TP move/Casting will not work
Attempting to proc !! on a stunned monster that was only auto attacking (sans iron giant attacks) WILL work

So you can only proc atma while a mob is only auto attacking and not stunned....... So ws during mobs tp moves and casting or if stunned will not proc it must be done over again.
