It took me forever to get Ifrit's Harpoon originally, and I never saw Garuda's Spear either (I've only seen it twice so far, and had to pass both times)

I also just ran Stone Vigil a lot this past week (15-18 times) to get the Wyvern Spear to drop (just because it looks awesome, and I blame the guy who showed me it for all the time I spent in SV).

I have only seen the Hoplite Earrings drop twice, and think the Strategos Earrings drop once. Have all other AK accessories (I think). Also can't recall ever seeing the Hoplite Gauntlets drop at all.


On the other hand, I have both the Calvary and Battlemage sets from Brayflox (and got them all while leveling WHM/WAR), took me no time at all for Ifrit's and Garuda's WHM weapons to drop, have Garuda's Sword and Titan's Axe and Shield (leveling tanks right now, so yay), various other Primal weapons I'm not using for a while, and last night had both Turn 1 drops be things I need; Trousers of Maiming and Ring of Striking.

So, its a bit back and forth.
