Mirror of the Whorl drop rate is still a disaster

Honestly, I don't understand the drop rate for Mirror of the Whorl. It seemed like prior to 2.4, the drop rate was like 1%. Now it seems like... 2%? Honestly, even if it was 100%, you'd acquire Mirrors less quickly than you would 5 Diamond Dust from Shiva to upgrade a weapon.

To compare:

Shiva EX, you need 5 wins to upgrade a 110 weapon to a 115 weapon. The drops are GUARANTEED.

Leviathan EX, even if the drop rate was 100%, you'd need 1-8+ wins to possibly win a drop to upgrade a 95 weapon to a 100 weapon. Since the drop rate is like 2%, you will probably still need 100s upon 100s of wins to MAYBE, EVER upgrade a 95 weapon to a 100 weapon.

How does this make any sense? I just want some mirrors to upgrade my weapons for glamours. Does it really have to require beating Leviathan like 1,000 times when I can get Diamond EVERYTHING, GUARANTEED, in less than a TENTH of that?

I mean, seriously guys.

Yeah, despite the drop-rate increase I still think the Mirror of the Whorl is as rare as a pony in my eyes.

Wish we would get consistency on primal ex weapons if they want people clearing it several times. First it's the rare mirror in Levi EX , only ilvl 100 weapons in Ramuh EX (incentive to farm is much less), to guaranteed dust drops for upgrades in Shiva EX. What is it going to be next?

I don't agree. I've gotten 3 Mirrors since the upgrade, and I hardly even do Levi EX anymore.

Never saw the mirror drop.

Wow. you should play the lottery. You´d become rich as f***

Mirror drops in roughly 20% of my runs.

1/100 on mirror drops before and after patch, not that i care about the gear anymore since shiva is so much easier and higher ilvl to farm

10 Levi wins the last 2 days. 4 mirrors seen. Seems okay.
Can't agree with OP on the dropchance.

I first wanted to say, don´t bother with those outdated Weapons...

then i read Glamour...

I barely remember they got other Weapon Models when upgraded?...

Whatever, RNG is RNG, i never ever seen a Pony, while others have a full set... sooooo

Seen a mirror on every 3rd to 4th run since patch. Can't complain.

RNG is RNG, but even still... when we look at the OP's comparison between Levi weapons and Shiva weapons. there is a problem there. why should lower level primal weapons be potentially more difficult to acquire then higher level primal weapons?

Hardly. I did a ton of EX primal runs yesterday farming for ponies (Ifrit EX, Levi EX and Ramuh EX) and in my Levi EX runs, I saw another 4 mirrors drop (I didn't win any of the rolls). The rate isn't that bad.

I ran Levi EX all weekend and confirming to say that the mirror drop rate is pretty good. I even saw the mount drop a few times. My only gripe is the RNG that's driving me up the wall insane. Although the newcomers got some of the drops, even the mount. Must be nice to be lucky...

Can I queue up with one of you people then?

I've gotten 1 of every weapon possible, multiple bones and rolls, even have the whistle.... yet not a single mirror.
