Inferno Totem drop rate

[totallynotme]

Wow.

I always say I'm against fruitless long timesinks, but you want a 70-100% drop rate for totems, plus a chance to grab the weapon? Really?

Heck, Ifrit might as well not bother attacking and give you all the weapons if you /bow to him.

Sure, go ahead and ramp up the drop rate a bit, but anything over 20% is overkill.

Just out of curiosity, how many hours would you estimate you have spent fighting Ifrit? I don't know about you, but somewhere around 200 hours I began wondering if there weren't better things I could do with my life.

It's called statistics. It may take you 200 hours (lol) and it may take me 2. Learn to share with your party members. My LS will give people with no weapons for their mains totems while the rest still have a chance for a weapon drop.

and in my opinion thats exactly how its supposed to be used. the drop rate could be a tad higher i guess but work together people instead of hogging all for yourself

7 Ifrit's weapons in 2 hours, boy have I been humbled.

Ninja edit: I may have confused you as the OP says 200 hours for 1 weapon. The post you quoted however was simply a statement of at what point in the chase for all weapons one starts being bored with the overall process.

The point is, If you want SEVEN OF THE STRONGEST WEAPONS IN THE GAME, that *should* take some work. That's how MMOs work. Heck, even in a regular final fantasy some rarer drops take some work.

I don't recall maximizing KotR Materia in 10 minutes or defeating the Deep Dungeon without grinding my team for a while.

Of course, there's a fine line between ridiculously low drop rates and ridiculously high. You're proposing the latter to fix the former.

How much hours I've spent on Ifrit (and, to be honest, I haven't fought him that much) is irrelevant. If you make totem drops too common, any player can realistically get a weapon of their choice in 3-4 runs.

With a 100% drop, it's a weapon every two runs. That's easier than getting plundered set items from Shopshae.

The original post talks about getting 10 totems for 1 weapon, as they drop to you and you keep them.. In the process, you may get weapon drops as they go, as they are not mutually exclusive. I'm merely pointing out that it's statistics. I'm 6/7 and I've done this fight more than 100 times (I think ^^. If I get a totem, you can damn well be sure I'm going to pass it along to my party members who need it, cutting on their time.
