Ifrit's Harpoon Woot woot:)

[Silvano]

lol. Tell your group they're dumb and should let you in anyway. And here is why:

The one and only purpose of Sentinel is to lessen your time in the instance, and that is only by a small margine. Basically with Sentinel you're taking away the need to remove more than one spike during the Hellfire phase, allowing more DPS output on Ifrit.

Even without Sentinel, any class with 3000+ HP can survive Hellfire with one spike down if their HP is capped, not to mention there are other damage mitigating abilities available.

It IS more convenient, but it doesn't mean it's "necessary."

If it's an issue, drop two spikes instead of one. You will only be increasing your time in the instance by 15 - 25 seconds unless your group is slow.

There is no reason you should have to wait to play this content, if that's the case, find other people to go with, because the one's telling you that you "need" Sentinel, are the one's who don't understand the mechanics of the fight. Unless your group is under a constant "Let's do a speed run!" mentality, then there is no reason to require someone to have Sentinel.

I agree with you, but unfortunately many of the shouts in Ul'dah on Besaid have been "(Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It) (Party) (Do You Need It?) (Sentinel) (Materia) (Please check it.)" I still try though ^^. Hopefully after this shipment of sap I can afford most of the materia I need, minus Savage Might IV (1.4mil atm) O.o.

Another issue is that I've never done it before, the active LS I was in broke for whatever reason, and no makeshift party wants a first-timer if they can avoid it :3 I got close yesterday though, so I have hope!

Well, Sentinel will be gone soon enough anyway.

I have no idea what my kill count is at but I got two Ifrit weapon drops (THM and LNC) on the first day that my LS began killing it consistently. That was around the end of October / beginning of November. Since then I have not gotten anything else. Some people go 6/7 with 15+ total drops and the last one that just won't drop is the one they want, then there are others who get nothing in 80+ kills. I wouldn't be complaining if I was in the former's shoes.

These drops are dumb, so I stopped doing ifrit for now.

Woot, 20 or more kills after my last post in this thread i finally got my lance. Finally no more Ifrit for me and my group, lol. 7/7 now Dx

Good luck for all those unlucky around. If you think you suffered on bad luck, think about my and my almost 230 to 240 kills

I feel bad for you folks, especially with better loot options in 1.20. This is why I've been very slack at grinding Ifrit so I'm not sick of the fight yet. Almost reached 100 fights, but I think I'll dumb that down until patch drops and loot becomes easier. People will still want certain items from Ifrit and they'll be easier to obtain at that point.

That thought crossed my mind too, but when 1.20 hits our focus lies on the moogle fight and we would like to be prepared So we decided to grind our teeth, bwha.

Oh don't get me wrong, my LS is the same. Tis what off-days are for though.

[Blarp]

At least you all get to do it :3 I'm stuck farming maple sap for Gil so I can buy materia so my lack of Sentinel MIGHT be overlooked O.o lol /endrant

Back to the original point of this thread: Congratulations! (>^.^)> Ifrit's Harpoon <(^.^<)

I don't know what the economy is like on your server, but board hides (9-12k), karakul fleece(6-8k), or bomb ash(2-4k) would all probably be better and faster than maple sap.

Please stay on topic this is not an economy topic this is a topic about people getting their weapon hehe
