Totem Requirements for mounts

Not sure if this has ever been bought up before but don't you guys think 99 totems is a bit much? I mean with the EXCESSIVELY low drop rate on the mounts can we at least half the amount of totems needed to like 50 or 60? Pretty sure thats not too much to ask as trying to fight a primal 99 times for totems is kind of irritating. Just my opinion.

upped drop rates are a factor too. 99 is there if you happen to be unlucky. Shinryu right now has about a 1/4 - 1/7 drop rate whereas before it was almost nil. some trials can be finished rather quick.

True though XD its pretty bad when you've fought Lak 65 times and have only seen the mount drop 6 times out of those runs

If anything, 99 isn't enough.

Unlike weapons, mount is something optional and dont interfere in nothing. I should thanks they give it exchangeable for totems because I had a unluck with it.

Although I'm not sure anything should be changed, perhaps there should be bonus totems every so often, example being for every 10 runs you get an additional totem as a reward. You would still need a lot to get the mount from trades anyway, but could make farming a little more rewarding if rng is being terrible.

It's why I just stopped doing ex primals. Between the low drop rates and the horrible pts by the time I got 25 sephirot tokens I was over it. Still sitting on 96 Sophia tokens and really couldn't care less about the mount or the big one at the end anymore. The reward doesn't match the grind imo so I find other things to do with my time. And this is from a guy who ground out 2 relics and a mythic in xi lol

But if someone wants to do it, more power to them. Just not for me.

Im not sure where others are saying "99 isn't enough or nothing should be changed" It needs to be changed as the grind doesn't match the reward when you go through more than 30 fights and not a single whistle drops thats a problem meaning the rate is way too low. i understand that the mounts are special items that don't effect anything BUT the fact is that people that would like them can't get them because the rate is so low i'm not saying make it so everyone and their mother can just jump in and get one but make obtaining one for people that have gone through tons of fights be able to get one easier lowering the totem count to say 55-60 really shouldn't be a big deal 99 is just ridiculous for people to have to grind to tbh. I do agree with the give bonus totems idea though that would at least take some of the annoyance off the grind only getting 1 token per fight.
