most games before were heavily relying on RNG, way more than FFxiv. You could farm for years and never see a drop. (But yeah, you could trade all items so if you had no luck, you could farm gold... not here).


Oh and btw, the mirror isn't supposed to be a functional item. It's "ice on the cake". If you get it, your weapon gets better and shinier. If not, your weapon is on par with T5, and you have upgrades in the coil (T7 requires i95 weapon) or with atmas/books (long grind). If you got the mirror (IF), congratulations !! you are a lucky guy who won't have to upgrade his weapon before either novus, T8 or T9.

Tidal wave weapons were not supposed to be a progression step after T5. Wave weapons are an upgrade of previous primals weapon, which were i90. that's all there is to know
