Request: Consider increasing Mirror Of The Whorl drop rate

[Kail]

People estimate that this item has around a 2% drop rate. I know that I've personally only seen 1 mirror drop in the 40+ times I've cleared the fight.

Considering its rarity as well as the difficulty in winning the mirror against 7 other players, the Tidal weapons are out of reach for a majority of players. Not only that, the upgrade that the mirror provides is not worth having to clear the fight hundreds of times when you could get something from Second Coil quicker and more reliably.

I think a slight increase in the drop percentage would be to everyone's benefit. If not just a flat out percentage increase, maybe offset it by making it so that when it drops a mirror, it doesn't drop a weapon.

I agree whole heartly with this. I registered to this forum just to make that exact request.

Leviathan EX is far from easy( unless you have a good group that is), and having to bid against 7 people for such a rare drop seems a bit unfair. If I got a mirror the first time I've seen it drop and that was the 15th time somebody on my team seen it drop after maybe 159 runs of the quest, they'll feel ripped off. The battle is fun, but that mirror drop rate plus the fact that I have to bid against other people kinda makes it seems not worth it some time considering the difficulty of this battle.

2 solutions.
1.) increase drop rate,
2.) when the mirror drops, everyone on the team gets 1.
either choice will make mirror farming a lot better for players who want their tidal weapon.

PS: I've seen 2 mirror drop and I got nothing to show for it =(

Harder=better HARDCORE ROX!!!

They should just add it to Levi HM as well. Or have one drop one item and the other, other. That way both have a reason to exist and being run...

Would be fine if HM dropped the wave weapons and then you need to do ex to get the mirror... or the other way around... get mirror from HM and the weapon from EX.

How about this?

What would be cool is if the mirror drop rate was influenced by how many people had the Wave weapon equipped or maybe even in inventory, something like (n+1) * drop rate. Can even put it in the weapon description - "This weapon when used against Leviathian is more likely to extract vital essences upon defeating him...etc, etc"

Should help farmers - (they already should have a weapon) and it rewards them for having cleared it.

I'm in favor of Zoro's idea. Each Weapon could influence the drop rate by 5% having a stand alone rate of 5%. if everyone in a party have one equipped then the drop rate will be 45%.
