    turn 9 weapon drop chances.

    we have recently started farming this one to gear up for turn 10 and beyond. surely everyone from our static wants "thier" weapons for thier mainjobs.

    so far we are at about 20 kills total. there is 10 weapons that can drop. currently we are at 8/10 weapons and are still missing the whm weapon and the war weapon.

    what i wanna know is from someone who maybe farmed this before/after 2.4 and how many runs it took em (does not need to be exact number) on average to see each weapon drop atleast once. i know its RNG but i atleast wanna get a number from somewere to maybe get an average number no matter which weapons dropped first/last/most.

    i dont wanna know how long it took YOU to get YOUR own weapon. but how long your static took to get EACH weapon once (nin of course to be excluded if you farmed before 2.4)

    It's 10% chance per weapon. There's no magic to this. It took me somewhere between 70 and 100 runs to get all 10 for myself not counting the 3 I got before 2.4.

    This is a straightforward probability problem, without doing the math I remember it was something like 21 runs to get 9 unique weapons on average when NIN didn't exist.

    We didn't farm T9 after patch, our static got 4 kills before patch (DRG, SMN, SCH, SCH), then we jumped right into FCoB. If you wanna do endgame content you're wasting time by farming T9, use that time to practice mechanics in FCoB, much more rewarding. However, that is because we only raid max. 7h / week.

    at 30 kills you have a 63% chance of seeing all 10 weapons. Source = http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i=30+10+sided+dice
    So..... it could take a lot of kills.
    lol

    at 59 kills you hit 98% chance source = http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i...all+faces+show

    at 105 you get 99.98% chance source = http://www.wolframalpha.com/input/?i...all+faces+show
    so you can basically round up to 100%!

    and now I'm temp banned from wolfram alpha for spamming dice roll calculations, I blame you.
