Garuda wp never drops? (WHM)

ive done the garuda battle over 80 times now ive seen the weapon drop once for me and it got rob'd :( (faerie server) im so sick of garuda .... have anyone seen it drop at all ??? like square should just give it to me by now for running the battle too many times hahahaha

You are just really, really unlucky with the RNR system. I got Garuda's my second run and Ifrit's on my 30th. Garuda's isn't necessary to progress to Titan. Just make sure you have around 3150-3200 HP for Titan which you have well over. Garuda's weapon is only useful for Titan because you get your relic soon after. So don't sweat it and move on!

Took me 30 runs to get it and i really only got lucky because the other healer happened to be SCH so it was guaranteed if i needed on it. Normally i only ever saw her drop MRD and PLD weapons with the odd BLM weapon every 10 runs.

I have only seen it drop once. I see a lot of books and war weaps. I have only seen mnk, brd, and whm drop once; unfortunately i need all three (have mnk now). It's all random, just chalk it up to bad luck.

Until the relic +2 quest comes out and we need to turn in the Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan weapon to complete the new transformation.

(yes... i'm kidding/trolling) Good luck on getting your weapon!

took me 34 runs to see it, lost to the other healer, took 5 more runs.

Granted not everyone has the option on hand. But after a few runs and no weapon from either primal i decided rather than waste a day doing repeat runs and potentially not getting anything, i ran cm instead and got the tome items needed to just make the HQ 2 star ALC weapon which was actually really nice.

On one hand it was sad to replace it so quickly with relic but i still think i potentially saved myself time running primals over and over and over.....

I did Garuda about an hour ago two Scholars no WHM guess what weapon it was. :P

It's just bad luck on your part. For me the one Garuda Weapon I've only seen one of is the Paladin weapon. Everything else drops fairly evenly except Dragoon and Warrior weapons which rain from the heavens like candy.

got it after ~15-20 runs maybe? My bow in about the same amount, of course with dps queues it took my bard alot longer. I always, always see ifrit and garuda books drop, like 50% of the time its a book.

I literally saw it drop 4 times in a row. My monk even has the WHM from greeding.

My Garuda weapon drops on the 7th attempt.
And after that when I did it again while equip her weapon (for relic quest), it drops again...and the other healer was a SCH...so the tank took it :3

I was just rudely lucky and got it on my first run -.-
Made me feel bad too, since it was a run solely to get some of us (including me) the relic step.
On that note..we need more ilevel 50+ shields..or any..really.

Just really unlucky. ): I've seen the WHM Garuda weapon quite a few times...but on the other hand, I've seen my bow drop once in 50+ runs and I wasn't the one who won it. In the end, I just bypassed the Garuda bow altogether, though I wouldn't mind having one once vanity slots are available.

I hate that stupid feather duster. The Ifrit Cane was good enough for me to get through Titan.

I've only seen it once and gladly passed on it (though, admittedly, I already had my relic at the time).

Small top: form a shout group with the intention of farming gear. Make sure every knows that the team will be farming Garuda 7-8 times and I guarantee you it will drop.

Because I did it once, farmed garuda 8 times in one night, everyone in the team got a weapon.

Weeeoo weeeoo weeeoo, math police incoming!

What you say is akin to "if you roll a die 6 times, the chance of getting each number exactly once is 100%". Math police no like!

Tricky probability math incoming!

So, calculating the actual chance of getting exactly one of each of the 8 possible weapons when doing 8 runs of Garuda goes something like this:

Number of runs (R) = 8
Number of possible outcomes (different weapons) (W) = 8
Probability of a specific weapon dropping on a kill P1 = 1/W = 0.125
Probability of 8 specific weapons dropping in 8 runs (D) = P1^R = ~0.00000006
Numer of different orders you can get 8 unique weapons in (O) = R! = 40320
Total chance of getting 8 different weapons in 8 runs = D*O = 0.0024

So, the real answer is 2.4%!

What about the probability of you being one of the 2.4% person to get a weapon in the next round?

I mean, I agree with you assessment but you can't really talk about probability in something that comes from luck.

All I can say is in my experience, a continuous grind would give a more favourable result than just DF in random or doing it ust once a day.

On top of it, my group decided to pass everything if you don't need it. So it only have 2-3 people rolling greed on a ingle item for their alt class and the rest role need when what they want dropped.

All I am saying is, you can improve your chances by organising your own HM raid.

This is no joke. I got Ifrit WHM weapon on the 4th successful run. Garuda WHM weapon after my 3rd. I guess I am the luckiest guy on my server, lol. But yeah, WHM weapons do drop.

It took me about 30 ifrit kills for that one. Then Garuda it dropped the feather duster on my third kill. I helped my tank friend farm for ifrit and it took us about 80 kills. The other pally said it was his first ifrit kill and lost the roll. Cane of Crags dropped on my first kill.

It isn't a big upgrade from the ifrit weapon and even then you need a shield with it. If you have ifrit's you are fine for killing Titan to get your relic.
