Job Mounts!

I had the idea last night when on my RPR. We have I think like, one or two job mounts? WHM gets Unicorn but I don’t remember if any other job gets one. It’d be so great if each job got a mount. Here’s my ideas for some, feel free to add your own!

RPR: Our voidsent. We ride on its back like a magic carpet. I need to see my voidsent more. PLEASE Yoshi-P.

BLM: Maybe a small meteor we ride like a surfboard? I was gonna say broom but that may be too cliché.

AST: Transforms us into a comet.

DRK: A dark ethereal horse with spiky black armor.

All tanks have differents mounts too i think. I see PF about farming them sometimes.

DRK already has two - coeurls.
WAR gets the bears.
GNB gets tigers.
PLD gets lions.

The tanks have an armored and non-armored versions.

WHM gets the unicorn.

Early in ARR's development it looked like SE indeed were planning on having each Job get their own special mount, but apart from CNJ/WHM getting a unicorn via an easy quest after getting CNJ to 30 and completing all the CNJ class quests, that never eventuated (the tank achievement mounts came much later). Alas I think that airship has long since sailed.

Instead, just set up certain existing mounts based on their theme to each Job (it's something I've done myself). :D

DRG already got Middy. What else do we need

Sage with a Neulith Barrier mount: Uses the neuliths to create a barrier under foot to surf around the sky.

Machinist with a Queen mount: Queen Automata carries you around either on its back, shoulders or in its arms princess style while it runs around the ground or flies around in the sky with rocket thrusters either on its back or under its feet.

Summoner's Proto Carbuncle Mount: Summon an oversized Proto Carbuncle that carries you around in its teeth or wrapped in its long grotesque tongue as it runs and flies about the place. Has an emote that can eat you, roars and then spits you out.

I love this idea, iirc they gave whm and tanks mounts to incentivise people to play support roles as most would shy away from, but now since we have “enough” of each role they could totally give each class their own mount!

Always had the impression that the job specific mounts were introduced because their was a lack of people actually playing the jobs. But yeah, at this point every job should at least get one.

IMO, it is to encourage people play tank more. The problem is that SE sets the grind so easy that people just do whatever less than one minute unsynced.

In any case, I want to see more chocobo bardings too. There are still many classes that don't have their class-themed chocobo bardings.

Scholars could either get a Tonberry or a Kuribu... maybe a scholar Chocobo...
