Ifrit Hard Mode Loot vs 5-Slotted Materia Gear?

[Konachibi]

I disagree. Right now even with all HQ items, chances of producing an HQ item are still low. After 1.19, HQ is 100% with all HQ items. I'd say it is far easier to collect HQ items, than it is to win the dice roll.

Well they said getting HQ items would be really difficult, though how difficult they mean when they say difficult is yet to be seen.

But, well, if it IS really difficult then HQ weaponry will be worth quite a bit of dosh.

I'd also say it makes a bit more sense for crafted HQ weaponry to be better because a crafter usually has to rank up multiple classes in order to make them, so rank 50 HQ weaponry takes a long time to reach, fighting Ifrit on the other hand, only requires one ranked up battle class (per person in the group though), and the fight only takes like, up to the 30 minutes if the timer is anything to go by.
