Rare one time item went to player in another job?

You don't choose the weapon, the weapon chooses you.

Quite possible your Need Roll was met with someone that was also your same job
then it was a 50/50 split : high roll wins.

Even though you say the person was not the same job.. I question whether you based you information on what gear this person was wearing ?

If your Armory was 100 % full the game defaults by placing any equipment obtained into your Inventory. If your Inventory is 100% full as well you will get a message :
( item name ) was lost unable to obtain.

In the case of Lotted / Rolled items.. ( Need ) will always cancel Greed.

There is only one other thing that could have happened: That is you already obtained this item B4 and put it into your Storage / Retainer and forgot that you have it.

This happens all the time on AK runs for me.. the message will say I can not have 2 of the same item.

You can have a second copy if one is in your retainer's inventory. >_>
