SA's aren't the only way to obtain them, however, in a realistic situation, it's the only method that should be employed.
Wish I still had all my notes, as I did countless runs on these and took note of the minutest of details (The SA used, current Vana time, day, moon phase, and results) But if I recall correctly, the best rate at spitting out Adaman Nuggets was Dangruf Wadi..
Should be noted that the only synthesis material that can be reliably obtained is cermet chunks... Cermet is far far far more common then the nuggets, and on top of that, you get 4x as much cermet as adaman at a time.
Unless you have your heart set on a synth that uses these, I'd just forget about it all together... Practicly the only way you'll turn a profit off the SA's is by selling the gear you obtain in place of the nuggets... The chips needed are over 20k a peice, that means to get a stack of nuggets, you'd need a bare minimum of 120k worth the chips, and if you could get any where near a stack of them out of 6 chips I, as well as many others, would already be doing SA runs on a regular basis, you'd never see infinity cores on the AH for longer then just a couple of minutes, and the prices for the items obtained would plummet.
