HM Ifrit Frustration

[SmokeyTreats]

Beat ifrit seems like a million times... Haven't seen the lance once... I'm sure when I do I'll lose the roll to another dragoon!!!!

Heh. "RNG is RNG". It's true, but it doesn't change that the % drop chance on some of the items is extremely low. My average group is 2 dragoon/ 2 monk. Sometimes even get the 4 dragoon groups. We're piling up and soon we will be all the DD in queue.

Hell, I don't even care about the lance at this point I just want to see a noncaster weapon. Run this 2-6 times a night for two weeks and it's: grimoire, grimoire, grimoire, cane, grimoire, grimoire, grimoire, cane. I feel bad when I see tanks, bards, and monks in my group because I already have a 50% chance of guessing the drop and they're not gonna like it.

Im sorry, friend, but I almost always see lance after defeating Ifrit. It seems, that drop settings is very strange... very very very strange

And I didnt see any weapon for monk at all

Got my bow after our 2nd kill... Guess I was just lucky.

It's how the dice roll as to what drops, any group could get any piece multiple times in a row(even the monk wep) if rng decided so. You may see the lance everytime while another group sees something else everytime, there is no magical setting behind the scenes that forces certain weps to drop over others on these fights, there is exactly the same chance of one weapon drop as the next.

are we counting just ARR or ARR and 1.0? Cause if we are just counting ARR I am up to over 200, if we are also including 1.0 im a little over 1,500

I decided: Ifrit Hard Mode is no longer a part of content for me until developers fix drop settings. I will try to get weapon from Garuda or Titan, or maybe, I will make relic weapon faster

[KogaDrake]

here is an idea, rather then spending countless hours in ifrit, get some of you darklight and kill titan and have relic. When I got my 1st kill we had 2dps with ifrit (each 1/2 darklight), 2dps with gc wep and mostly just AK gear, very geared tank (ifrit wep) and 2 great geared healers (whm w/ relic and sch with ifrit) and a 2nd whm with relic but mostly AK/AF and crap jewlery.

Titan isnt so much about dps as it is about staying alive, join a FC, get geared and get relic and have no RNG needed!

Same here, I've done this countless times, and yes I do mean countless, last I remember counting was 70 something and I've only seen SMN/SCH/WHM weapons drop. I'm honestly getting fed up of doing it.

Its gotten so bad that I don't want to ask my FC to help with me getting it because I know I'm just wasting their time.

And what happens when garuda or titan drop the same exact thing like ifrit did? There is nothing broken about drops that is how rng in every single mmo is, outside of every single mmo changing that formula(aka not wanting people to stay subbed) it will never change.
