    Hm, what if when you defeated a Primal, the Company offers "damaged" weaponry that they found from the site for 5k Seals. Those damaged weapons are rare/ex and can only be turned into ifrit's weapons when repaired with the proper materials. It could be like
    Dull ifrit's Blade:Items needed to repair
    -Fire imbued Mythril Ingot
    -Fire imbued Rosewood Lumber
    -Fire Archon Egg

    Basically when you see the info under repair it would note those 3 items under it and when said item was used it would turn black signifying that items wasn't needed anymore. Upon getting all 3 repairs you would have to go to the Conjurer's Guild and they would imbue it with the Fire element for 1 Fire cluster, or maybe 12 fire crystals lol. Least then people have a choice of either taking the crafter route to obtaining said item after they defeat ifrit the first time or continuning to fight Ifrit and hope for the best.

    the concept sounds cool but knowing SE if they even think to implement that it would be as hard, if not harder than the current drop rate acquisition.

    I like the idea of Ifrit actually dropping some sort of key or rune w/e that you could exchange into a weapon of your choice; or a rune in your loot list where each rune would be related to an especific weapon, therefore you could pass the rune to someone who actually wants that.

    Btw now I'm 0/26! yay me!

    So who wanted to make a fail contest again? 0/41 on Ifrit weapons now.
    I might just quit Ifrit until patch, because this is just way frustrating. Stuff like this just takes all my will to even play sometimes.

    Don't give up just yet! I got 2/2 right after I hit 0/50 lol. Also, my buddy just got 4 weapons drops after 45 rounds of dark mater drops. My advice, keep chugging at it till u hit the jackpot. Plus, the 5k+ xp isn't bad at all either.

    My current tally is 3/~60...there's hope yet for you.

    1/51 here ,and of course the one drop was for the class I'll never play that sadly was the one and only item that LS friend wanted but yet hasnt had luck to get.

    At this point I'd rather Ifrit dropped nothing and just awarded the exp (gotten quite a few lvls on my DoH's already) cause every misplaced weapon drop just feels like another kick in the nuts.

    I personally like the idea you get a mark for every successful run and 25 marks buys a weapon.

    I think maybe they were thinking because Ifrit's spawn rate is guaranteed... his drop rate should be low
    I personally LOVE probability in drop rates... Just about every RPG (MMO or otherwise) uses it
    That means that I have the potential to get something, every single battle
    Even if the drop rate is 1/1000000, You could get a drop your very first time.
    I think people have turned this into something else entirely...
    the drop rate is not the issue.... Drop rates have always been low for the best gear in RPG's
    The issues 2 are 1. that the weapons bypass the loot list... (Which I don't like, but some don't have an issue with)
    and 2. You are still eligible for weapons that you already possess....
    thats my biggest quam with the system...Weapons you already have should be removed from the ones you can possible get

    Yeah I don't hate the drop rate, I hate that you can't pass the weapon to someone who actually wants it... If people could pass I'd have like 4 weapons already ): But noooooooo... And yeah, a friend of mine got 5 bows already, LAME!
