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

I'm probably wrong but when we tried to go for a weapon, we figured it changed on an hourly basis.

We tested by clearing a fight twice in the same hour. We got the same weapon.

Then we waited for the next hour, then cleared the primal, we got a different weapon.

I mean it could be a coincidence, but it's something to consider.

Yeah, unfortunately I did test out this theory previously and it failed to produce a result. Also tested the theory that weapon drops vary week-to-week which also failed to be the case.

[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.]

Funny thing is Hydra and beyond you need to kill with relic weapon equipped if i am reading the quest right....

You need to kill the beastmen and Hydra with the "unfinished" relic weapon equipped which Gerolt gives you, and is item level 50. For everything after that (Ifrit/Garuda/Titan), you have you use a regular weapon.

Whether the stats warrant it or not, for me in past cases of RNG trolling at around Run #40-50 it becomes Me VS RNG. I will run it until I get it.

Good job. Now just move on. You don't need your ifrit wep. My buddy also had horrible luck gettin his ifrit wep for his pally but then he said eff it did garuda and.it dropped first time. As far as progressing end game...u don't need the ifrit blade. Just run ak and cm. Get darklight gear. Throw in garuda nd get gardua wep. Don't get stuck on one thing or you will never progress. Goodluck

Yea all the nonsense about needing full DL and relic to do AK and garbage like that is a joke. Bads relying on gear to carry them is what it is. You don't need ifrit weapon to move on..just like I didn't need anything close to full DL + Relic for the joke of a dungeon AK. Nothing at all hard about it. I could DPS, Tank or heal it in whites. Baddies just use overgearing as a crutch cause they're terrified that something might present a challenge. Skip Ifrit and go do something else. GL.
