Ifrit battle weapon drops ... or lack of!!

Im intrigued to know the longest people have gone without a weapon drop. I'm at 21 kills with DM each time and it's beginning to test my patience lol Can anyone beat that?

In my opinion, the weapons are terrible, why bother?

My personal record is 50 wins w/o weapon drop. :D Though I did go 2/2 last night. :) Gotta love that randomness lol.

They look cool, but that's about it. :c

What I was hoping for what that you could craft them, so you could materia in them and make them truly awesome. Since they are already made they only have 1 purpose which is +! to inventory.

The Materia system really kills u/u at the moment.

I've tested the harpoon against my hq1 hart lance w materia, and it clearly out damages it. Maybe if it was a hq3 with triple melded materia, it might stand a chance against the Ifrit harpoon. :D

Yoshia did mention they might let users meld nm drops in the future.

It out damages it based on the weapons damage value not the stats, obviously it makes little difference, extra damage is extra damage.

Mage weapons are worthless.

SE do need to fix this U/U situation they have created.

What NMs and Primals need to drop is Mats and materia, since this MMO was engineered to revolve around crafting. That means not mob/NM holding, no monopolizing areas or monsters. If you want something, make it, bake it or buy it. If Final Fantasy XIV wants to be special or different to ward off RMT, Bots, and other negative influence, I suggest players work for their wants and needs.
