    Mirror of the Whorl drop rate is still a disaster

    Honestly, I don't understand the drop rate for Mirror of the Whorl. It seemed like prior to 2.4, the drop rate was like 1%. Now it seems like... 2%? Honestly, even if it was 100%, you'd acquire Mirrors less quickly than you would 5 Diamond Dust from Shiva to upgrade a weapon.

    To compare:

    Shiva EX, you need 5 wins to upgrade a 110 weapon to a 115 weapon. The drops are GUARANTEED.

    Leviathan EX, even if the drop rate was 100%, you'd need 1-8+ wins to possibly win a drop to upgrade a 95 weapon to a 100 weapon. Since the drop rate is like 2%, you will probably still need 100s upon 100s of wins to MAYBE, EVER upgrade a 95 weapon to a 100 weapon.

    How does this make any sense? I just want some mirrors to upgrade my weapons for glamours. Does it really have to require beating Leviathan like 1,000 times when I can get Diamond EVERYTHING, GUARANTEED, in less than a TENTH of that?

    I mean, seriously guys.

    Yeah, despite the drop-rate increase I still think the Mirror of the Whorl is as rare as a pony in my eyes.

    Wish we would get consistency on primal ex weapons if they want people clearing it several times. First it's the rare mirror in Levi EX , only ilvl 100 weapons in Ramuh EX (incentive to farm is much less), to guaranteed dust drops for upgrades in Shiva EX. What is it going to be next?

    I don't agree. I've gotten 3 Mirrors since the upgrade, and I hardly even do Levi EX anymore.

    10 Levi wins the last 2 days. 4 mirrors seen. Seems okay.
    Can't agree with OP on the dropchance.

    I first wanted to say, don´t bother with those outdated Weapons...

    then i read Glamour...

    I barely remember they got other Weapon Models when upgraded?...

    Whatever, RNG is RNG, i never ever seen a Pony, while others have a full set... sooooo
