You can post on the lodestone a picture of you beating Ifrit, no one gives a shit.
And there is a difference between "a weapon every 9 fights" and "11-12% drop rate".
Just farm Ifrit until you get your weapon, I know people who've beaten him more than 200 times just to get a sword.
I got my Ifrit's Cane after 40+ runs, I just was lucky.
"Nothing to show for it" means you didn't get anything, not that you don't have bragging (or whinging) rights. Ok, yeah, you do him 50 times you get 500 philo tombstones which you may or may not need, at a drop rate fantastically worse than doing philo stone dungeons or Garuda.

11% drop rate means exactly that, when it's drop time, there is an 11% chance of something dropping. You would see such an item 1 in 9 times, roughly. The observed drop rate on the weapons on this boss is not like that though, and for reasons we don't really understand, horribly skewed. I've greeded the Grimoire so many times it's not even funny because I've seen it so often. I've gotten the axe multiple times when there wasn't even a warrior present. But the blade? Nope. Have never seen the monk weapon, either.

Now, accounts like this are to be expected with RNG, but a little math starts making it obvious that the drop rates for the weapons aren't equal and some classes are doomed to run Ifrit 4-5x as much as others just to get their weapon. Does that make fun gameplay sense? No it does not. Would it make sense if you needed to get 5 titan downs to get your relic and I only needed one? No. QQ please fix.
