1. Grimoire
2. Cane
3. Cane
4. Claw
5. Axe
6. Claw
7. Bow
8. Claw
9. Axe - (Won by me!... lol)
10. Sword - (I rolled a 23.... other tank rolled... an 8!)

Garuda
1. Axe
2. Grimoire
3. Arm

Victory!!!!!

after beating ifrit dozens of times, i finally got my ifrit spear
right after that, i run garuda, then poof, garuda spear lol
never got them before for a whole week

Yeah same here, gave up getting an Ifrit sword, and after finally getting a competent group that could kill Garuda, her sword drops first time...lol

i had ifrit sword and bow over 10 times

took me 19 win to get my claws

rule of thumb: If you want it, it won't drop. Once you do get it, it will drop every time.

1st run tonight, was hoping for WHM drop, and ended up winning SUM book on a greed roll.

I am about to go through this process with my FC and I sure hope we all have better luck than some of these people out there I hear that have run Ifrit well over 60 times and still have not got their weapon. I am crossing my finger and toes for good luck like some of you.

Last night was my 78th ifrit kill. (counting the ones at 1.0 as well). During all those runs I've managed to get Ifrits Bow and Ifrits Claws. 2 out of 78 runs. I have all classes 50 so basically I'd want one weapon for each class. So yeah.. best of luck to you.

Addendum: If you're not on the Job for the weapon you want, it will drop and someone else will win it.

Addendum 2: In the event there are two of you with the same class, you will lose the Need roll.

At 24 kills, saw one sword drop but lost the roll.

Sorry to hear that, I got mine after my 10th attempt. but another member of my FC said he done Ifrit 40 times before his fist weapons dropped. I hope you get it though, good luck.

Sword, Sword, Claws. Third attempt and won. (Monks are apparently rare.) This is followed by Cudgel, Book, Bow, Spear(?), Claws again, Cane. WHM in FC rolls need, loses to other WHM in party. Three attempts later, Cane drops again, WHM accidentally passes. Two drops later, I get Cudgel for a class that's not 50 again. Cane drops again, we make sure WHM rolls need this time. Succeeds. In runs where a Bard FCer was one, Bow never dropped. Bard isn't there, Bow dropped. We have two Dragoons, and the Spear has dropped while they're there as Dragoon ... once? but lost.

RNG is a fickle mistress.

My sister is on a run a few days ago, and the Horn drops.

Got my lance on 70th attempt.

I think I saw the sword twice or thrice.

Addendum 3: If you are the only one on the class who can 'need' and it drops, you will d/c before you can roll.

lol I ran it 36 times for the sword, it dropped twice needless to say i didnt win the first time around.

Your epic list is only compiled of 5 runs ?
Try 60 garudas and not even see'ing the sword drop, then come back, k pumpkin

Did a silly amount of runs I got 4 ifrit weapons for other jobs before getting mine.

The ifrit weapon is more or less unnecessary. GC weapon or DL weapon from WP are both sufficient 'till you get your garuda weapon. This is especially true if you're a tank. If you were a damage dealer, it may have been a different story.

Why are people even bothering with Ifrit weapons ? Just do Garuda you can do that fight easily with a GC weapon.

Too many people I run with blame the SCH and SMN books. Apparently, those drop a whole lot for the people I've run with.

The two successful Garuda runs I did today: SCH and SMN books. People weren't happy...

I had to kill Ifrit 130 times to get my cudgel for BLM. The direct drop thing is just stupid -- they need to change it to a token.

Damn! Hope that doesnt happen to me

On my second run of Ifirit HM, I got my claws

1/6 sword, rolled a 1 on it but was the only PLD. Go me XD

BUMP for update

27 kills for Ifrit's harpoon, picked up monk wep and the SCH wep too from greed rolls

Not ifrit but it took me 63 runs to get my Garuda book for my Scholar.

Wow 130 kills? Holy crap. That suddenly makes my 63 look like nothing! I don't envy you, I'd go mad if that was me. XD

Run 11 CMs buy coke get a blacksmith to make you a Mail Breaker, there no more RNG.

Chiming in to say yesterday I got dragged by my FC to tank ifrit for some FC mates. I had lost all hope but, lo and behold, sword on second try. Fun Fact: Killing blow was a Shield Bash to his face xDD

Do not despair, the swords are out there! (insert X-Files music)

53 Kills of Ifrit, saw the spear twice lost both rolls
Only about 10 Kills on Garuda
My FC takes 3 tries at Titan, we kill him and I have my +1 Relic. Went straight from my Grand Company Spear, to Relic +1 because my luck was that bad.

87 Ifrit wins. The sword has never dropped.

I have 5 other Ifrit weapons for classes I never intend to play.

I have also defeated Garuda 8 times and never seen my sword.

Whatever, I'll just stick to crafting.

Beat Ifrit 31 times and I have yet to see a lance drop. It's the only wep I haven't seen drop in fact. Picked up a cane and cudgel on the way tho. Beat Garuda for the first time today. Boom. Lance drop. On the first try. And I won the roll against another Drg as well, go figure ^_^

SE, please do the smart thing and re-implement the primal weapon token system.

I'm a BLM and this is my experience with primals.

Ifrit: BRD, BLM, BLM, BLM, PLD, MNK.

Garuda: BLM

You can probably tell I'm pretty lucky with primal weapon drops.

I got the Ifrit axe my very first run... I really feel bad for monks, every monk i know has an extremely tough time getting the fists. On top of that i have never seen them drop in any of my groups

Haha It took me 60+ tries on Ifrit before I even saw the Harpoon drop for the first time. A tear nearly came to my eye when it finally happened and I got it. xD
