ifrit bleeds we can kill it

Hello,

I think you are touching on the important part here. I do not think being able to get the Iffy Weapons quicker or easier is the real answer (and doing so diminishes its value).

I believe the crux of the problem really is:
The desire to see forward progress.

It can be frustrating to do 20 runs and get nothing until the end.
If somehow whilst doing the 20 runs you are continuously rewarded (albeit not with rewards as great as an iffy weapon) then this should make it feel more.. hehe.. rewarding ^.^;

Presently the reward is some XP and glorious dark matter (although one could argue this is more painful to see than nothing).
Perhaps if the rewards were upped a bit each time:
Guaranteed 4500 XP (yay, transfered to another job that could use it).
Guaranteed 100 Company Seals (This is, after all, based on a Grand Company quest. 100 Seals in 30 minutes is not too bad).
Chance for Random Materia (Maybe some materia can drop, low rate, but still nice to see).


Basically so that each fight itself if somewhat rewarding, whilst waiting for the 'big' reward.

I like the idea of a chance at random materia, but rather then just random materia it would be nice to see it tailored towards Ifrit. So basically things like fire veil, fire materia, strength materia and heaven's Fist as potential drops, to go with Ifrit. I can understand the frustration of not obtaining said loot, but when the loot table is as small as it is, then the reward % has to be skewed in a way in which it should be tough to obtain. It'll just feel that more rewarding when you finally obtain it, whether it be through totems or Ifrit himself. It's not like getting to Ifrit himself is tough either, collect from tapers then head into the battlefield, it's not like you lose it when you lose, you get to keep it until you win.

So really there's a lot of positives within the Ifrit fight the only true negative is the drop rate but based on everything else the drop rate fits in well with Ifrit.

6/7 for like 3 months. I get my 6 weapons on the first month i started doing runs. Right now i'm at 7/10 totems... I just want to finish this pain... ;_;

I have a friend that was 6/7 with 3 of each one (two on retainers and one the inventory) and it took him like 3 months to get his last one (axe).

I realized that I started getting more and more dark matters, it increased from 3-5 to 8 now. Is that a sign that I am getting closer to obtaining the ifirit wepon?
