"The endless lies, I've cast aside, locked them in ice"...

This is how I feel about the WHM weapon...lol

79 total Diamond Dusts later, and still no WHM weapon. I got BRD, NIN, WAR, and SCH from GREED during a few farm runs.

I have since then started WHM relic continuation after getting Yagrush after sitting on Thyrus Zenith for over a year. With Atma books, I'd alternate a quest and Shiva Ex (Book dungeon > Shiva > Leve > Shiva > 10 mob kills > Shiva, etc).

I have a feeling it will drop when I get Novus (I have 64 Alexandrites ready for Animus) or I do Shiva as another job.

60 runs for me before I got a shield.

Keep it up and good luck.

I like this fight in particular because Shiva is the second Ex Primal that tested my ability to solo heal at crunch time (other healer dead, and no Ballad).

>: Please come take it from us. I had it drop four times in a row with the slaying bracelet. My bow for the longest wouldn't drop.

Finally got that and am hoping to get the Axe still.

I have NEVER seen WHM weapon drop. I've only seen pics of it on the Internet lol

I'm happy to say I'm rocking the Diamond Cane.

Too bad my main class of choice is the Monk and I've still seen neither hide nor hair of the Diamond Claws...

Go in there not wanting it or pretending. RNG will be like fuck this guy and just throw it at you.

lol... Hard to do, since the Weapon is my only motive.

The only weapon I need from Shiva EX is the SCH book. I have seen it drop a grand total of one time. I have the Diamond weapons for every class and 21 Diamond Dust's left over. Hell, since the pony drop increase, I've seen 2 Boreas Whistles but not the book.

ladies and gentlemen i present to you Sods law.

sods law : whatever you DONT want to happen happens.
thats why when your not looking for your keys they are everywhere
but the second you start the keys vanish into the void guarded by exdeath himself

do what this guy said, go in ONLY wanting the horse or something and watch as you get everything else :D

Change your motive to be the pony =D Might work?

Farmed for 2 1/2 months to get the bow. Lost three rolls to newbies that were literally dead for most of the fight. I lost track on how many times I’ve beaten her.

I saw more ponies drop than that damn bow.

I got my claws after 50 tries...this RNG looks really wrong, seriously.

Been there with the SMN book...I ultimately decided "screw it" and worked on my Zodiac.

Hmmm, we've had issues with the NIN weapons and the PLD sword dropping all the time. Aiming bracelet too all the time. We've seen all her weapons with about the same frequency except for the ones I mentioned. We see those all the time. That being said, more than ten canes have dropped to the ground. :/ If T9 still weren't a beast, I'd suggest that one because its stats are nicer.

<<<sitting on a Nirvana Zeta so happy that I don't have to deal with that in general.

I have all jobs leveled up; yet not able to win greed/need them :(

Don't feel bad OP. I have >80 wins on Shiva and have never seen the Bow nor the pony drop ever. It's becoming harder and harder to continue playing this game when RNG screws you over around every corner. You put in countless hours of work and dedication and have little to show for it day after day.

Kinda reminds me of Big Fishing. When targeting a big fish, I'd get into a routine. I'd go and fish at the correct time and spot, not because I expect to catch the fish, but just because fishing is what I do at that time and place. Then, one day, out of the blue, I'd catch it, and go, "huh." Then on to the next fish!

Don't fight Shiva with the expectation that you're going to get a drop. Fight Shiva, because fighting Shiva is just what you do at 7:00 (or whenever it is that you fight Shiva). Then one day, out of the blue, you'll win the cane. And go, "huh."

RNG is RNG... I seen all weapons dropped multiple times, even got 2nd WHM weapon for my retainer.

Yeah! Completed Book 4 of the Atma. If I get Animus before Diamond Cane, I'll find another goal.

complaining about 80ish runs with no loot ?

I haven't seen Levi's axe dropping a single time since patch 2.2. Not even once. in more than 200 runs :p How unlucky is that ?

Though I'll go again someday for the pony, maybe I'll have more luck then

I got Boreas before I got the WHM weapon, so... yeah...

Is it faster to just complete the entirety of the relic chain, and get to nexus? jw. But if your rng luck sucks, you might want to stop at that point in the questline ._.
