I want to start by saying I'm a big fan of the spirit bridge. Love the difficulty and after all the fruitless tower runs seeking Murdermaker, it's awesome to have a better hope at a top tier weapon. So I spent gems to upgrade my runes and learned a good strategy to be able to beat the oni general more often than not. 200 or so kills later no oni blade, and I can accept that (even though several people have said it took only 1 for them). It should be a challenge. My disappointment is that I have gotten exactly TWO items that were not green or white: a useless purple talisman and an even more useless blue ring. Nery a soulshard either. In fact, reagent drops in general seem low. So I am left with serious doubts as to whether I will actually ever get the oni blade I seek.
I ask you GLU, is it usual for oni blade to eventually drop for a player who sees nothing but green and white items? What is more, wouldn't it be a bit more fair to have some better items drop even just for their selling price while a person grinds hard to get the ultimate reward?
Fair questions I think and hopefully your answer will give me back hope where I now pretty much have none. Thanks.

Either way, farming Oni General is way better than endless. The drop rates are almost the same (takes maybe 100-200 endless runs to get Murdermaker for me), and theres no tickets for Oni General.
This is as close as we're gonna get to Jade Cyclops. Appreciate it while it's still here. I know I will.
Did your brother or cousin write that???
Haha...no. I don't have a brother. And my cousins are in at college, or they're like 2 years old.
What? Am I not allowed to write a positive comment?
I got one DPSS. Some blues, and one, maybe two impervious gear.
Other than that, all white and green items.
I did well over 1000 kills and probably around 2000 kills with my 12k mage but have now given up.
The big difference is that JC was pretty easy to kill (around 15-20 sec) and Oni General is much harder (around 2 min with blue attack runes). 1 kill at Oni General = 4-5 kills at JC. So 400 kills at JC - max 100 kills at Oni General.
After 200 kills I gave up. I kill him now only 8-10 times/day.
You found Oni Blade in 3 kills, so it's not that special to you.
You really should not be preaching about this.
Read and comment on my suggestion of an accumulated drop rate in the suggestions forum
3 Kills and you got your blade :-) It's really luck...keep grinding guys....you may feel relieve if you get those level 44 weapons
But the real frustration is all the **** items that drop in your pursuit. I dont think ive gotten a single purple and mebbe one or two blues. When you put the boss in perspective with hellboy something just has to be wrong or someone at glu is just cackling maniacally at the drop table he has provided. How can i beat a 6-12 second boss and walk away with at least a blue item every kill but a 2 minute boss only drops garbage. I realize he drops a lvl 44 wep. Yay. What about the people that will never see that drop even after 2k kills thanks to this horrible drop rate system. Just makes no sense to me.
But this effort vs reward thing has always been glus problem. Look at hero tower vs lotus tower, 3rd kingdom vs 4th kingdom. They must play their own game right? How the hell cant they see this. It just baffles me.
This was all Oni General left behind:
Ps forgot guild member also managed to get as murdermaker too so that possibility is in there also.
