Ifrit Weapon

How many times did it take you to get your Ifrit weapon?
Seems like Codex, Bow, and Cane come up frequently.
Here is my bad luck so far. Doesn't seem like 1 in 8 odds, Bow seems to come often.

1. Ifrit Codex
2. Ifrit Cane
3. Ifrit Codex
4. Ifrit Cane
5. Ifrit Bow
6. Ifrit Blade
7. Ifrit Codex
8. Ifrit Cane
9. Ifrit Bow
10. Ifrit Cane
11. Ifrit Blade
12. Ifrit Bow
13. Ifrit Bow
14. Ifrit Claw
15. Ifrit codex
16. Ifrit Cane
17. Ifrit Bow
18. Ifrit Cudgel
19. Ifrit Bow
20. Ifrit Codex.
21. Ifrit Claw
22.Ifrit Harpoon
23.Ifrit Harpoon

My second run. I got the spear drop especially since the other dragoon didn't need it. Got VERY lucky.

It took me 37 tries with about 10 fails mixed in there to get the bow. My spreadsheet is at home or I'd list each drop.

I personally would rather spam garuda for her weapon, especially after doing Ifrit a ton of times with no luck.

got harpoon in maybe 10-15 tries. sword and claws in like under 5 tries each. i feel lucky.

Ifrit in maybe 5 tries (very lucky)
Garuda in 17 (averge?)
Loltastically useless Wall of Crags (passed on this one) dropped on my first Titan.

Took me about 17 tries to get Ifrit Blade.

titan shield is far from useless to me considering PLD is not my main and will be remain relic-less for the time being. i like my molten rock backpack tyvm.

The Titan shield is basically useless if you get your relic shield though. Zoomie probably passed because the Titan shield can be useful for someone that is gearing a PLD alt which sounds like what you're doing.

Exactly. I main PLD and had holy shield 2 minutes after killing Titan.

First run as PLD, 15th-ish run as WAR. Also got Titan's shield but haven't had the axe or the sword drop from Garuda.

First run as PLD : /

20ish runs for the Axe, probably lower as I wasn't actually counting (just felt like that).

I never post here but thought I would on this one... Got my Ifrit Cane first try through DF... 1 attempt, 1 kill, 1 weapon... (Garuda is another matter though)....

In all honesty, I'd just skip Ifrit and go for your Darksteel blade in WP until you get Gardua's sword or if you're lucky, your Curtana. Ifrit weapons aren't worth it at all. Titan aren't either since if you're eyeing for Titan you may as well do your relic at the same time to kill two birds with one stone.

If you get lucky and get a Titan weapon for another job you use, more power to you. However, I wouldn't count on it.

Over 100 hundred runs for ifrit Axe. On the plus side, I picked up most of the other ifrit weapons for all those jobs not to 50....

In the time it takes to do 100 ifrit runs you could have a complete set of Darklight for multiple classes.

Many 10s of runs for my PLD sword before finally giving up and tanked Titan on my pathetic green GC sword. On the upside I now have 7 greed weapons for potential alts. Every other drop seemed to be an Arcanist weapon.

7th try. After drop the BLM weapon 4 times in a roll! XD Then I went to Garuda right after and got the sword on the first try. :P Love RNG.

About 50-60 Garuda's I seen 1mnk lol.

Did this 10 times last night with a guildie trying to get him lance.
5x canes (we each got one on greed even)
2x grimoire
1x scholar book (no scholars in that group, I won for my scholar, yay)
1x monk fists (first I've seen in 50+ runs)
1x blade (second I've seen after mine, 50+ runs)

I haven't tracked every down I made, but since I have been tracking, I was a little surprised to see so few grimoires, but only a little. Normally the grimoire and cane drop excessively. It's frustrating and a little mind boggling that the drop rates for the various weapons are not even.

On the flip side, took another FC mate to teach him the fight, got ifrit bow first shot. He took the lancer I ran through ifrit so many times to garuda, got garuda lance first shot. Sometimes the RNG hooks you up.

Pretty frustrating when it doesn't, though, and lady luck is more fickle for certain classes than others.

Ive been really lucky, got the ifrit cudgel AND garuda weapon on the first try! :D

Took me 23 Ifrit kills to get my Ifrit axe (15th run dropped one, but it was a double WAR Ifrit kill; it pissed me off because I had to carry the living hell out of that WAR) and 17 Garuda kills for the same. My 25th Ifrit kill dropped an axe that got greeded away to someone that didn't It took me something like 50 Titan kills (I wasn't counting because I got Bravura after the very first one) to see the Titan axe drop (I took it because it looks kewl and there's just some stuff I like to collect :3). I've still only seen 1 Titan axe drop ever and 2 DRG spears (I've got one of them because I didn't have an i70 for DRG yet).

There really are some weapons that seem to drop an inordinate number of times on certain primals: I saw *so many* Ifrit Harpoons while I was farming him, Garuda fists are, for some reason, insanely common, and I see so many WHM and BLM titan weapons it's become kind of crazy. There's also some that are insanely rare: I don't think I saw a single Ifrit book in over 40 runs, I think I saw maybe 1 Garuda spear and only 2 axes in over 50, and I've seen the WAR axe drop a *single* time and the DRG spear drop 3 times in over 100 runs. It really has gotten to the point where I just *expect* certain weapons to drop and am dumbstruck when one of the rare ones does.

My one and only Ifrit run resulted in a shiny new weapon with the additional bonus of lots and lots of cursing from FC mates :D

Did Ifrit 30 times as a White Mage and have yet to see a cane drop... until I do Ifrit for the FIRST time on my warrior and win, guess what - Ifrit's cane drops. Really frustrating.
Ifrit's Axe dropped on my second win as a warrior though.

Did Garuda 20 times as a WHM, have never seen a wand drop. However, Garuda's Scream (WAR) dropped on my first try as a warrior though!

...oh RNG.

Ive been horribly unlucky with Ifrit.
It took me 110 runs to get an Ifrit sword.
I got the Ifrit sword after I gave up and got my Curtana.
Got the axe on run number 200.

Good stuff.
;_;

I was lucky I got my Ifrit weap on my 1st try and Garudas on my 2nd :D

Sorry for taking all your luck guys. On my third Ifrit the sword dropped and other PLD already had it, and I won the greed for the Axe on my first Ifrit. On my first Garuda (with DF PUG) that sword dropped and the other tank already had it. Of course I now get to tank both of these for all my FC mates who will likely have worse luck than I lol.
