I've been called the least lucky member of my FC when it comes to drops, over the past few weeks I've been farming ifrit for a SMN book (I actually have all ifrit weapons now except the WHM staff and the PLD sword)

FORTY NINE TIMES I HAD TO KILL HIM (I actually have been keeping track, 49 kills, 13 fails), and 47 of them were 15 minutes or more apart due to needing to DF him.

we finally got round to making an actual effort to get our relics yesterday, so we fought ifrit (our tank needed 12 myth tomes for his shield+1, so we fought him multiple times)

first time we got the SCH book (which nobody needed (including me, the codex was actually the first thing I got from ifrit, probably a sign that he was going to be teasing me), so we gave it to the WHM).

second time I FINALLY got the summoner book to much cheering over teamspeak (the final time a lance dropped, we gave it to the monk with a DRG alt)

Square REALLY needs to change the loot system for the primal battles, maybe giving us a random drop and/or a token like behemoth or odin, 10 battles and you are guarenteed to get the weapon, but you have a chance of getting it earlier via RNG

and now I have to try garuda T_T

*gets more paper out*

(so far I'm on 7 fails, 0 wins... this is going to suck)
