It takes about 185 hours of playing TT to win the Fenrir mount.

I did some math, and found out the Fenrir mount takes about 185 hours to get playing Triple Triad.

If you play the Indolent Imperial and win you get 120 MGP, it costs 30 to play him for a net gain of 90 MGP per win.

Fenrir costs 1,000,000 MGP.

1,000,000 MGP / 90 MPG = 11112

Playing quickly I was able to finish a match in 52 seconds but I am going to bump that time up to 1 min for a more normal speed play.

11112 min / 60 min = 185 hours.

This is not taking into account cards you will win from him which will reduce the time, or matches you may goof on and lose but with an avatar or scion deck your win rate should be at lest 98% no matter what.

Is this too long for a Fenrir mount? I think it is kind of extreme. Other peoples thoughts on this? If you don't win the lottery which is a 1 in 10000 chance you will have to play these matches if you want the mount.

Fairly certain it was meant to be a long-term goal, not something you get within a couple of days. Realistically, it sounds like you'd get it just playing the Indolent Imperial in about a month or so, which does sound a bit too long, but over time it'd be padded in with other winnings like Cactpots, GATEs, and stuff. And as you mentioned, it should be just that little bit faster since you get to trade cards in too.

There's still months to Heavensward brah.

It was supposed to be a rare mount. What's the point when it becomes so common?

The amount of people able and willing to spam the Indolent Imperial is probably almost as small as the lottery winners.

I don't know why people don't understand that there's a middle ground between "everyone gets one" and literally months of spamming the same content to get one item.

Lots of people on my server are doing it though, for the Gaius card. If anything, grinding ends up becoming a side product.

People seem to think cards are the only way to get MGS. The daily and weekly lotteries can add up too and you got some easy GATEs as well.

One lucky person won the jumbo cactpot and paraded his Fenrir around Mor Dhona from what I saw on Tumblr XD.

Obtain fenrir is pretty easy task compared if you wanna collect all 80 cards.

I don't visit Tumblr, but there's one dude on our server who won that cactpot. Not sure if it's him :p

Actually GATEs aren't fast at all to producing MGP. The Idolent Imperial is definitely the fastest MGP generator outside of the lottery. GATEs only slow you down.
If Gaius cards drop also, you get 600 from those, but yeah Gaius cards.

It only takes one Jumbo Cacpot.

Same on my server and then went to Mor Dhona to show off. He had a horde after him all the time lol.

Wrong, it takes 142-145 hours (including 5-8 draws per hour). You can earn 7,000 MGP an hour with 80 or so wins per hour (one every 42 seconds on average). I also did the math ;)

More like people are camping NPCs outside of the Golden Saucer for their cards. Or spamming Moogle / Ifrit / Shiva / Ramuh / Leviathan / Garuda / Gilgamesh 1 & 2 trials for their respective cards. Those trials are instant queue as tank, before they were quite long to pop.

Wait... only 185hrs to get 1 million MGP? That's significantly faster than I figured it would be, and that's not even including any potential gains if you do the lotteries or manage to win on Typhon (I'm 8/10 on achievement... though maybe 8/18 on attempts).

This puts it right in step with other content that takes a long time to get done (like ranking up in PvP via any remotely legit method), sooo. Not sure why anyone would be surprised. Just be happy it's not a 1% drop rate mount from some hard fight, I guess.
