Are the ifrit drops really that bad?

I just don't see it. Im hearing horror stories, but out of the 9 times I have defeated him this week I have gotten 4 drops.
The cudgel, the harpoon, the claws, and the blade...

Are the drops seriously bad or am I just uber lucky

I'm gonna say you are one of the lucky ones, I've lost count of how many times I've beaten Ifrit, and aside from Ifrit's Cane, all I have to show for it is several stacks of darkmatter.

You got lucky.

Wouldn't be so bad if the loot system wasn't teribad...maybe that's just me though.

I got two in one night. A third and fourth the next night. Of those four, I can use two. Two weeks later I got a repeat. Since then nada. It wouldn't be bad at all if we could distribute the drops to people who actually wanted them.

Nothing sucks more than getting a drop someone else wants but you can't use. Oh, wait. Getting a drop someone else wants but you can't use and watching it hit the floor because you already have one. That sucks worse.

It's not so much the drop rate, as much as it is the way it's distributed directly IMO a loo list.

Drop rate is fine, the distribution system fails.

for 30 runs , nothing , then 2 weapons consecutively. very random.
you got lucky.

100+ kills > 3 weapons.

You're one of the lucky ones, most people have to wait a lot longer to get their items :I Have some people in my LS who went ~0/70 before getting their first weapon.

Though tbh the drop rate isn't bad at all, it's moreso just that the loot system is terribad. A lot of the time people who are 7/7 are getting repeat drops while those who need them go without :/ If that were fixed then there would be nothing wrong with loot/drop rate.

I've killed him more times than I care to remember. I've gotten 2 axes (Lv.0 MRD), 2 bows (Lv.9 ARC) and 1 harpoon (Lv.14 LNC at the time, 28 now).

You're lucky.

Iv gotten every ifrit weapon killing with ls members, and during that time some of those members still have only gotten 1 or 2, and dozens of duplicates, its pretty retarded.

i must be about 0/35 right now ish going on the amount of tapers ive used,

killed last night 5times and not a single person got a thing but dark matter

I have probably killed him about 50 times (maybe a couple more or less) and I have received 1 Battleaxe and 4 Ifrit Blades (hate gladiator). So go figure.. we'll see how it is after 1.20

2/79 right now.

+all those times we lost

My arse its fine - working on my third stack of dark matter without a single drop.

Maybe I'm just uber unlucky.

1/2 Got the Ifrits Cane and I was there as 50CON so i was pretty stoked. Hoping for the Ifrits Blade ASAP @_@

lol lodestone and being worth a fuck.

I was 1/3 on the claws, and since then nothing, I have killed him over 40 times now and all I have is DM and my claws (which I am leveling my pug so its not too bad) after seeing so many people getting dupe harpoons which is what i'm mainly after.

documented 10% drop rate, report back when you are 7/7. Bet it takes you 100 kills. Probably more though.

did my first run on 10th november, since then ive got 6/7 of the ifrit wepons, probably killed it about 30 times. Thats considered lucky apprently. Its a fun fight so dont mind doing it and you get the exp reward over and over makes it better. I like the way the way it is.

You're lucky. More than half of our Ifrit runners have defeated more than 10 times with no drops... a few of those unlucky ones are 40+ with no drops.

I personally have defeated Ifrit about 30 times and have 3 drops. My results are the normal

You're considerably lucky so far. Expect a few duplicates here & there in the future.
Around 60~ wins now & 6/7 (don't really care about THM weapon).

5 Swords
3 Bows
1 for everything else.

Best run was 4 drops from the chest right after 1.19a.

It's died down though & not as many people are on. Holidays & 1.20 coming.
