Ifrit (Hard) Weapon drop rate is a joke.

I smiled every time a WAR was in the group since I knew the sword drop would be mine!

Did not realize until now how lucky I was last night to get my weapon on my very first run.

i have only had the need to do ifrit 3 times so far.

every single time has been a summoner book.

a white mage in my FC has done it 20 times and has never gotten the drop.

garuda sword dropped first try for me. :|


on a completely different note i now have a ifrit summoner drop that i have absolutely no use for. can we make it so i can get rid of it and actually gain something?

Gaaah stop whinning and be thankful Ifrit Hard Mode is a short run.
I have been running Wanderer Palace to get the shield from Tonberry King and 20 runs still no shield in sight...
Random is random just like people say and hey notice that Ifrit HM gives Tombstones of Mythology? Thats actually nice.

You can ask them politely to drop Defiance and let you do both the tanking and stunning. That makes Ifrit much more enjoyable xD

Edit: I haven't seen a single PLD sword drop in my ~60 tries. I think I'll just move to Garuda at this point...

I don't know what you are talking about. I did Ifrit HM for the first time last night and the Bow dropped.

Seeing as I'm a Bard, I find this drop rate acceptable.

Running both Garuda and Ifrit last nights back to back, both drops Monk weapon and NO monk in the party..Wtf? .... For those who said the drop rate is acceptable, mainly because they already have their weapon drop. Otherwise, I would see more QQ about drop rate. The drop rate need to be changed seriously, should be by based on what class the groups have, no random drop >_>!!!

I feel kinda cheated out of being enraged about this. It's not Ifrit, granted, but it took 6 Garuda kills for her to drop the sword, and the other Paladin rolled higher for it and I was all D: -- but then on the 7th kill, the sword came up again and I rolled higher than the other Paladin for it and I was all :D.

I always roll Need or Greed on things (because I love useless gear in my inventory XD), I now have my Garuda's Wile (no Ifrit's Cane after 40th win), plus Ifrit's Codex (SMN), Garuda's Will (SMN) and Garuda's Talons (MNK), all got as WHM XD

I have ran HM Ifrit running on between 70 and 80 times. I have the fight locked down in my head. Never once seen the sword drop. I attribute this to my luck where it will drop AFTER I get my AF sword.
