    i have this same problem with ifrit.. seen the SMN book about 3 times but never the SCH and I just KNOW the one time i do see the SCH book it will be in a random DF group with a second SCH and i will roll a 1 lol..

    I don't think it needs a token system but i do think they need to look at drop % and chance.. cos I have ran ifrit 27 times so far and have seen 10 MNK claws and about 8 BLM cudgels.. 1 PLD sword, 1 MRD axe.. etc.. so it doesnt seem right

    That's why it's called RNG. If you had gotten it on your first 5 runs you'd say it's working perfect, but it's the same system and that has happened to plenty of people. Every weapon has the same chance to drop as every other weapon, you have to look at the other 7 people in those 27 runs and see what they got in all their other runs. Could be the books drop all the time for them, but not the ones they want.

    Random drops suck. I've run Ifrit and Garuda on my BLM and SCH plenty of times, and haven't seen either weapon drop.

    I'm not saying I should have had one by now, but not knowing when it might drop + win roll, is very frustrating. I'm also not saying that I think it should be just as easy to obtain as DL gear.

    I do think there should be a token system in place, where you slowly work towards a weapon by running primals over and over. After you've put in enough time and successfully completed the primals enough times to earn enough tokens, you can be rewarded with a weapon. Players should have something to work towards, and not just told to have faith in a random number generator.
