Ifrit (Hard) Weapon drop rate is a joke.

[NyssaElf]

I have ran HM Ifrit running on between 70 and 80 times. I have the fight locked down in my head. Never once seen the sword drop. I attribute this to my luck where it will drop AFTER I get my AF sword.

In the same boat as you, never saw a bow once. Finally said screw it and got my relic. Thanks to my linkshell

Today some people in my lv50 linkshell invited me for Ifrit, I had nothing better to do, so I joined and got my weapon ^^
I already have Garuda, but for primals I always try to have kill and weapon, so I tried Ifrit more than 50 times now and the last run was lucky (there was also another WHM but the cane went to me)

I hope that WHM didn't want the cane since you already had Garuda which is better. I'm usually nice and pass on things I don't want but I hope others do the same in return.

I ran Ifrit HM yesterday 5 times (including my first ever victory). The SMN book dropped 3 times! It was ridiculous, and my group joked that SE is trying to tell us something (read more lol?), but we didn't have a SMN on my first ever victory so I rolled greed and won it!

I have done Ifrit (Hard) 100 times now, and not even seen a WHM drop or a Bard Bow either, let alone had the chance to roll on it.

almost every single time its a BLM arm or DRG pike.

Fix the loot table, and up the loot to 2 weapons guaranteed.

Well I have done ifrit hard like 5 times only (i already had all weapons from 1.0 except summoner and scholar), and have seen 3 whm, 1 war, 1 mnk. So i guess your just unlucky mate.

I've run ifrit twice. Got the wmn weapon the first run. Ran it a second time for a whm friend and get the weapon a second time.

The exact same thing happened to titan both times I've gone there.

Random is random.

Did Ifrit HM for my new BRD relic quest, hoping for bow to drop, but no luck, BLM weapon drop instead. Told my pt why don't we just go Garuda HM instead of farming Ifrit HM. So we did, clear it for my relic quest, and got Garuda bow, the other BRD I know roll for it as well but I won it instead. Random can be awesome or a pain in the ass.

I asked him if I could Need

Got the Axe on a greed role the first time healing it on my WHM, got the WHM cane my 2nd run.

Got the sword after probably 10-12 runs (stunbot pally queues ftw)

I dont have much hope for getting the bow, given how DPS queues are, and the general tendancy of people to quit if they dont see a caster dps or if we wipe once, as well as the fact im rarely the only bard. At least on my tank and healer I can usually just spam it back to back.

But so far ive seen - Axe, WHM cane, healer book, lance, fists, bow (while on my pally >_<)

I've probably beat ifrit about 40 times now and still have yet to see a single Harpoon drop. Would be nice to maybe have two weapons drop even if they have the chance if being the same. Still pressing on while I wait to gear up for Garuda.
