Ifrit (Hard) Weapon drop rate is a joke.

I'm more worried about the trolls who zone in with no gear on only to pull the boss and immediately drop group. I'll take random loot over folks wasting 30+ minutes of my life any time.

I am pretty sure this game is just healer racist. It is very rare in any instance that gear drops for my healer. I will repeat the same instance over and over and all that drops is dps and tank gear.

Wrote a quick random number simulator. Generating a random number between 1 and 8. The average person, will run Ifrit 21 times before seeing all 8 weapons drop.

After running the simulation 1,000,000 times the max number of attempts before seeing all random numbers was 130.

I did this after 15 ifrit drops, none of them being the paladin sword.

Running the same simulator assuming you want weapon X, the average number of attempts before you see your weapon is 7. The highest number in a simulation of 1 million scenarios was 101.

Assuming that this is all completely random of course and assumes equal weighting. But given the completely random nature, I would say 30-40 attempts is not out of the question of randomness, for the person who went 100 times, well that's statistically 1 in a million.

I've seen so many THM arms, Books, and the PLD swords, but never the Conjurer staff

Must have ran Ifrit 30+ times never seen my weapon drop (Monk) or a bow or a lance for that matter all and I mean ALL books and canes, did Garuda last night for the first time weapon drops on the first kill. Random indeed. Stastically most of these horror stories shouldn't even be possible lol.
