30 days almost up and I still can't enter endgame due to droprate

I don't feel geared enough to continue my relic weapon quest with my level 55 green scimitar.

Lol, 55...


Yes, there is a difference.

[Crevox]

You really don't need ifrit sword.

[Tupsi]

You honestly think a +5ilvl weapon is going to make or break your ability to hold aggro?

It does in this game, yes. In 1.x it was all on your gear, not just weapon - SE got rid of specialized stats like +/- enmity.

Well, tell that to all the elitist snobs out there who demand that people meet their insane standards.

[TL;DR I have had 1 paladin sword dropped in 205 Ifrit Hard Mode kills. I don't feel geared enough to continue my relic weapon quest with my level 55 green scimitar.]

Here are the results:
Warrior Axe: 61 (29.8%)
Scholar's Codex: 42 (20.5%)
Arcanist's Grimoire: 35 (17.1%)
Monk's Arm: 28 (13.7%)
Black Mage's Cudgel: 13 (6.3%)
Dragoons lance: 12 (5.9%)
Bard's Bow: 8 (4%)
White Mage's Staff: 5 (2.4%)
Paladins Sword: 1 (0.5%)

SE should feel bad for this. What a moronic drop implementation.

This is the exact reason they implemented tokens in 1.0. I'd like to know what idiot thought it was a good idea to remove that system.

GC weapon -> Ifrit weapon
Damage: 38 -> 39
Strength: 11 -> 13

Let me ask again, do you honestly think +1 damage and +2 strength is going to be the difference between holding and not holding aggro?

[texhnolyze]

Entirely your problem. Ifrit weapon is not required to progress the relic weapon quest, you have no one to blame for your lost time but yourself.

this is true

OP, your iLv55 GC weapon is enough to progress your relic, up until garuda at least
as for Titan, yes you'll need higher level weapon, especially for DPS

or, you could just farm gil and buy iLv 70 giantsgall weapon from the market
in a week, you can earn more than 1 million farming CM

Sorry, I find this hilarious. In the time it took you to run those 200+ ifrits, you could've done 11 CM runs, bought 9 coke, and had someone craft you the i70 sword, which is better than everything but relic...Wasted your time.

Well, I'm sorry but I believed with RNG that there would be more than a 0.5% chance of me getting my paladin sword. You know, chance being even and all.

Well, tell that to all the elitist snobs out there who demand that people meet their insane standards.

Make a premade or find a group that isn't requiring the better gear. You don't need anything more than a GC weapon to kill Titan. Farming the Ifrit weapon, on ANY class, is a completely pointless endeavor due to the extremely small gain it grants. The majority of people won't even notice it.

Besides that, if you or the OP really wanted to farm for a better weapon, you should've just farmed Garuda, who drops a much better weapon.
