The Pony farm

Farming horses can take forever sometimes.
Was talking to some ppl, got an idea that seems reasonable.
Seeing as exes drop jewellery, why not be able to trade in a full set for a horse.
(As in one of each kind it drops)

Still have to farm a lot, but sometimes it would be a shorter option.

Personally I think it's fine as it is. They let you go in uncapped to do this and with the increased drop rate I don't think they need to coddle people anymore than that.

Being that the pony is strictly for glamour and showing off, I feel that it should stay exactly how it is. I feel your pain, truly I do. It took me many MANY hours farming to get all of mine. But the fact is, you don't need it. So the people who suffer through the pain long enough to get them all, are the ones who deserve the legendary creature lol.

Good luck!

Seems fine as it is, I went in to a Garuda Pony farm, within 10mins we had 2 ponies, took us about an hour to get all 8. With about 2-3 min runs.

I haven't had any issues with the ponies dropping, only about 10 runs for each.

Except Nightmare. I have yet to even see Nightmare drop. >.>

Well sadly Nightmare was the one Pony that they never increased the drop rate for :(
Really only one i wanted but have Garuda and Titan, and drop rate still feels rather low tbh but i am fine with it

Not at all?

Well that explains why I haven't seen him drop, despite doing the three EX primals every week (gotta get them weapon glamors, yo). XD

I farmed Leviathan until I could see his ugly scaly hide every time I closed my eyes, until RNGesus finally blessed me with a 99 on the pony roll.

Now I just wish we could get rare drops (Inferno Horn, Vortex Feather, KINGLY WHISKER) from unsynced runs too.

I managed to get Kirin before they increased drop rates AND allowed people to go in unsync. It took me forever, and now I see ponies drop left right and centre. I don't think they need to be nerfed even more than they already are, it's great that they drop so much already. Good luck though :)

I ran Titan 86 times three weeks ago and never saw either pony drop. I just gave up on getting the title and Kirin mount. There is nothing in this game worth that amount of work.

Drop average seems to be around 20% when i farm if not more. I'd say that is pretty fair. I don't even think you should be able to get on unsynced but it is what it is.

I have seen Nightmare drop once...and I lost it with a 98

How do you go on living?

They are supposed to be rare, so I disagree. If you want to up your chances, unsync and undersize, set up a lootmaster first come first serve, or if you are a healer, set up a tank mount farm, and take the first pony as your healing fee.

Does this actually work? I don't think I've ever seen it done this way. Tanks mostly just band up in all-tank parties and wreck some T4. Dunno, if I saw someone wanting the first one as their "fee" I probably wouldn't even join. xD

Never tried. I've seen plenty of ruda tank mount farms being set up, but never joined one. I can't imagine there being too much of a fuss. It's not like the healer gets a heal mount from it. Out of curiosity, what do you have against it? Is there something wrong with the person who took the time to set up the party, and who gains nothing from it to claim what is likely to be the first of many mounts?

Dunno, it's not something against it per se, it's just something I've never seen done. I've always just done pony farms as a random roll. Lootmaster rules are fairly new, so I haven't played with them. I have all of the ponies anyway so it's kind of a moot point. :3

Like I said, we normally just get 5-6 tank players and go kick around Kitchenaid stand mixers... I mean Dreadnoughts.

Theres where it being a tank mount farm rather than a pony farm changes things a bit. Its not like they cant get the later ones.

I tend to avoid groups where things are either reserved or first come first served...runs the risk of the group falling apart before you get what you're after, or of the person who "called dibs" on first bailing after the first run.

Yes, I have seen this happen, though more in other mmo's than this one. I haven't joined enough pony farms to judge for this game.

I think it would be fine to do some trade in for the ponies. My suggestion would be turn in some lvl60 botanist item to get it.

Just cause, then you can farm while you farm.

But yea I understand why people don't want to bother but feel compelled to anyway. It's like when there is nothing to do, you find yourself straightening your pantry.

It was different when it was unsynced, if you could farm it it was like, a bit more interesting. Like still farming but more like "Attack of the killer tomatoes." Now it's like pulling weeds in front of your house.

Did you try Fisher when doing Leviathan ponyfamring? :)
RNG involved never makes a good gamedesign, at least without some failsave systems!

I didn't say nerf it really. Alls I meant is that, if you farm enough to get every piece of jewellery from that particular primal. That should really be enough.
Some ppl get it real quick, and therefor must be fast for everyone.

I haven't had a whole lot of trouble, but I've been in groups where we stay to the last man, and i'll tell you, sometimes its 15-20 runs b4 a horse drops.
Sometimes its 2.

Regardless, there is still a crazy RNG chance that you could never get one no matter how much you farm.
If you always roll lower.

To get all the jewellery would take a lot of farming anyways.

Its also funny to see people supporting RNG. When in most other cases they would flail their arms at it.


Not that it really matters of course, was just an idea.
