Leviathan Extreme Mirror Drop Rate Too Low

[LunarEmerald]

You realize 1300 Soldiery nets you an I-level 100 weapon right? You just need a drop from turn 7 to upgrade it to 110.

You are mistaken. You can't even get the weathered weapon without an unknown tomestone

you need a drop from turn 7 to get the ilvl 100.

the drop rate is fine, lets look at the other ways to get an ilvl 100, shall we?

relic animus: grind out 12 drops via fates, then drop 13500 myth to gain the stats
gerolt's masterworks: 1300 soldiery (3 weeks of capping) and then a drop from turn 7 (unidentified allagan tomestone). a drop from turn 8 needed to raise its item level to 110 (allagan sands of time)
tidal wave weapon: get the weapon from levi Ex, then grind until you are lotted a mirror of whorl.

surprisingly tame compared to the rest.

I saw you deleted it but still.

You realize UAT drops from T7 right? Go figure what's the % of the player base who could clear T7.

Then tell me again what use it is for you to save up and spend 3 weeks of tome just to be contented with a weathered weapon when you could either get a Tidal Weapon or Animus. It's complete waste of 1,300 tomes if you don't have a Sands of Time to go with it immediately, or the following week you get your weathered weapon. You could have spent part or whole of the 1,300 on other gear upgrades than hanging on to a weathered weapon for weeks.

And then again, Sands of Time comes from T8. Tell us again what's the % of players who could clear it.

In between the drop rate of this stuff and the Atmas, I can honestly say, this is one of the laziest game design choices ever made for this game. Where is the challenge in wasting your time instead of getting better at the game? o.O

RNG is RNG, it can drop on the first Levi or it could drop on the last one. Even if the number is raised it will still have a similar drop ratio with all the other loot attached to the boss.

Hah, Funny seeing this thread that I made so long ago. I still think the drop rates are too low, and end up giving up on getting my mirror. At the time I posted it, I had only seen one mirror drop after about 20 kills and I rolled a 1 on it. In the 2 months since, I haven't even seen another mirror despite joining quite a few farm parties and helping quite a few learning parties through.

In a few weeks you can farm Ramuh for a i100 weapon... And CT for the UAT so you can get Weathered gerolt weapon.

[DragonSlayer45]

Yeah, the drop rate is really low. I still think they should have just made Leviathan Hard drop the Wave weapons (and make it, you know, HARD so getting the weapon isn't a faceroll. Or just lower the iLv on the Wave weapons...) while Extreme drops the Tidal Wave weapons.

[LunarEmerald]

They should raise the drop rate with the release of 2.3.

If unknown tomes do drop from CT2 then there's no reason to keep the mirror so rare.

I'd personally make it 1/10. You still have to roll against 7 other people.

[Zaiken]

Yes I agree, please increased the drop rate. I seen it only drop once, and it was in Duty Finder >.< out of 100 Levi I did. Not only the drop is low, we have to compete with 7 other players to get the mirror.
