Inferno Totem drop rate

[Ruri]

Same issues with Moogle fight. 0/17 on weapons and only 2 charms. Worst part about that one is the goddamn NM's you have to go through after every fight (Hopefully something changes in 1.20a)

hai guys, i done maybe less than 50 ifrit fights and am 5/7 with 1 totem no doubles an only need the two mage weapons, i think i got the 5 DD ones in the 1st 20 or so fights..... i agree drop rate sucks..... lol ;p

i am sure that sooner or later drop rate will bite me in the ass atm thou its melding which is doing that

At least they didn't make it into a D Ring, where a server get one per year.

Or Vivian Ring, where my friend camped it for 3 years before getting it, at something like 1/220.

I would not complain about any drop rate at the moment, course SE take it personal. Remember when everyone complain about not enough monster, and SE throw r50+ aggro monster all over the place, including right outside town gate? Or when they complain about party grind too bad and SE make it you can go from 1-50 in one day? Yeah...

I am not reading this whole thread, but after running ifrit yesterday with my ls I find the drop rate more than satisifactory, after about 6 runs we managed to get a member a weapon. This of course doesn't help anyone who is going in a pickup group as we obviously handed our totem's to that one person, but I feel that was the point in the design.

It doesn't help if everyone in the group wants a weapon either, which in most groups they do. By the way people are having different drop rates my guess is that people who have got their first totem are getting higher drop rates thereafter like with the weapons themselves.

Estellios and Sontawila I'm afraid there is no point in arguing with Answa, he will just make stuff up and call you liars. My point still stands in the OP.

[Estellios]

Yeah I thought Inferno totem would just replace Dark Matter as the "dud" prize. I think it should work that way tbh.

[myteluze]

Well... I agree completely with the drop rate being garbage, and I also don't like "totems". This is the most retarded idea I've ever heard.

I think if ANYTHING, they could have split each item up into 5 'weapon parts' and you can just collect them. Make some more rare drop than others. Then trade items into npc to create item. At least that makes SENSE, it's weapon pieces u put together instead of ... totems? And honestly I'm probably going to quit if they don't fix the drop rates on ifrit and moogle. You can only stand in ul'dah for 3 hours a night after work for so many nights before you too depressed to log in anymore. Even if u do get into an ifrit group you're gonna fail 3x and go to bed. That makes the thought of actually winning and still not getting totems seem even more impossible and depressing.

To everyone saying "OOOH WHY FIGHT IFRIT IF I CANT GET THE WEAPONS I WANTZ?!?!? NO GOOD FOR CASUAL PLAYERS", I politely ask you to shut up and enjoy the content you can do.

I for one, only have one ifrit weapon (for a class which I hate), but I'm not complaining. I've had a lot of fun learning and mastering the fight. Died a lot of times before my first win and when I finally did it, it felt great.

Why do casual players need the best(in some cases) weapon in the game? If you're casual, use a hart guisarme like I do. Put the best materia you can get in your gear if you're worried about your performance (as you should be)

But seriously, if a casual player could get everything hardcore players do, why would hardcore players play a game at all? They tried to balance the game with the fatigue system, it didn't work.
Hardcore=shiny armor and weapons which are hard AND TIME CONSUMING to get. Casual players = hart guisarme with str II materia. Nothing wrong with it.

I was casual on ffxi and farmed leaping boots for weeks and it felt great when I got them.

Stop crying and enjoy your fights. Content is there for the casual and the hardcore, don't assume you're entitled to everything in the game without investing the required time/effort.


As someone said, its perfectly possible to get someone on your linkshell a weapon in 8-15 fights. If you say your party has done 20 runs with only two totems, either you're exaggerating or they're lying to you.

I don't like how we can't trade them. So I guess if I pass 9 totems to my bf then next fight his sword drops I wasted 9 totems. Sounds awesome.
