At best, some players might've gotten lucky drops from all three runs, and are FLBing a third Bow - but those players will be extremely rare.

... wait, didn't Phoenix reprint have something strange "Nutaku original" to it and you could get a couple of extra copies of the Bow... I forget.

The way I remember it, there was an extra copy at max price.
Keep in mind that Phoenix/Apocalypse reprint was still using the original rates, not the revision that came with Ixion, despite running after Ixion. So that extra copy wasn't for 100/75/60 mats. It was for the 120/90/70 rate.
The revision that came with Ixion of course isn't anywhere near as drastic as the Illuyanka event change, but it was still noticable at the time. Original rate was 455/255/215 to max the eidolon and 285/205/145 to max the weapon. From Ixion up until right before Illuyanka it'd be 375/210/150 for the eidolon and 260/165/125 for the weapon.

Phoenix/Apocalypse was also early enough that I still couldn't reliably farm ultimate yet. IIRC, from that reprint, I only moved up from 1* Phoenix Bow and Apoc Lance to 2*. Probably bumped the eidolons up 1* each as well. This was early enough for us such that even DMM was still pre-Guild Order, so we didn't have the knowledge to set up weapons for FLBing later.

Thanks all. I understand if people played previous phoenix event and get the bow. but some people got two just from the current event alone?

Those people will also have a lot of HE stocked up that allows them to farm that much.

You should keep in mind that some people may not have finished a weapon during the last reprint and so used this event to get the copies that they needed. That might be what you are referring to. It's a lot easier to finish a bow with 1 or 2 copies than to farm 4 copies from scratch.

Man I have to ask, how the hell do you get so many Half Elixers from gacha consistently

I'm pretty sure I average about 10 a day from the 100 pulls...

Is there some other source or devil sorcery you guys are using

10 HEs per 100 pulls seems normal for the 1% drop rate.

The sorcery we use is this thing called ranking up. The higher your AP cap the more you get out of HEs per gem quest. Or you have someone who plays purely on passive AP gen and stocked like 1k HEs or something.

Or eido shop, but that's not recommended.

220 half elixirs in at 53 AP each, entered with 7 gold mats and now currently at 1100+, and still no phoenix bow drop. Heck, I've only seen 3 rainbow chests drop in ult (all SR fodder). 3 chests dropped from ragnarok as well, but those were all just cores. I think that I've hit the stage of acceptance that I won't get that bow to drop. But eh, I suppose that I'll keep guzzling HEs today out of principle.

I got an Ixion's sword and Horus eido drop effortlessly so I thought If I grind a bit an extra mlb bow wouldn't be a problem but I was so wrong
