Show your predator

hi, I finally got my Predator and would like to know how long it took other's to get theirs. I believe I am in a select group and I feel special.

Took me 6 months to finally get a 71 .. a 71 was enough ...

? Huh? Where does that drop?

It drops at a low chance in Ala Mhigo. And I won mine with a 51, and the only other person that rolled got a 50.

Diamond your posts are so absolutely random and off the wall...

On that note got mine on my first run, low roll but apparently nobody else wanted or needed it, so ended up getting it regardless.

Y'know.. of all the posts they've put up.. this is probably the most in line with the forum without being totally ridiculous or non-sequitur.

.. still waiting for mine , never even seen it drop.

Had mine drop on an alt but not yet on my main. That being said you can go to https://minionguide.com/mounts to see how many people also have the mount.

Which in the predator's case.. seems to be almost 21% so not that special but considered rare

If I said I got mine my first time through Ala Mhigo would I get sharp stares of envy?

are you saying 79% don't have it? yes it is rare and special because of the 21% who got it, how many still play ffxiv? I don't see this mount 21% of the time while I play.

To see it 21% of the time when you play you would need to be in areas around other players who are mounted up 100% of the time and every player who has this mount would need to be riding it 100% of the time as well. Those are incredibly unrealistic prerequesites. That's like saying you should see the Company Chocobo 95% of the time that you're playing because 95% of players have it... people use other mounts.

As an aside it's posts like this that convince me you're a troll. That is basic enough logic that a child in elementary school could arrive at the same conclusion I did with just a base knowledge of mounts in this game and yet you need it explained to you.

You're presumably an adult with enough personal agency to purchase this game, a platform to play it on and money to pay your sub - I have to believe you're smarter than you let on.

We are 100% being trolled by this dude – I thought this thread was a new beginning for the OP but, no, it was all going well until that line about percentages.
Fair play to the OP - it was super-sneaky this time.

I got the Master Fisher Title and according to the Census of the Apkallufall Website, only 343 People in FFXIV have that Title.
That's no Reason to slap that Fact into the Face of everyone nor do I feel entitled to do so.

Yes, there are Players like you and me who have gotten something, but that doesn't mean we are kinda Special Snowflakes due of it.

Omega mount is rare and special but people aren't bragging about owning it on the forums.

Just because you don't see it, doesn't mean people don't have it...that can literally be said for any mount in the game.

I hope you're trolling at this point because you're just too ridiculous for words.

I got my Predator without even wanting it. I didn't know it dropped in Ala Mhigo until one day, it just did. I'm not particularly fond of it either.
I just remember seeing one person riding around in it, and I was like...

But hey, another mount for my collection.
As for the time it took, I wanna say it was while Stormblood was still new-ish, I suppose.

You believe you're in a "select group"? Because you rolled decently on a dungeon drop? How far up your own ass ARE you?

I got it a month or two ago, I honestly didn't know it dropped from Ala Mhigo, I rolled the first time I saw it and won.

I'd say I have seen the Magitek Predator mount drop A LOT more than the Zenos Yae Galvus card (which is a 5-star card.)

Could be just because some prefer other mounts. I have the mount; I’ve had it since early in the expansion and I don’t like it that much. I prefer my other mounts. 21% in terms of a mount isn’t really that rare though. A lot of people just don’t bother collecting mounts.

Hm...I have a dozen of mounts with higher rarity* like the Predator.
Should i feel even more special?
Because you feel special for a simple dungeon drop, dropping half of the runs and is mostly wasted, because all party member have theirs already...

It took me like what..? 4 months? I never use it anyway.

Shortly after I found out this mount was available, I set aside an entire weekend to grind for it. I sat down and que'd for my first run. At the end of the run, it dropped and I won. The first time I saw it drop. I have never been so lucky at anything ever.

I've seen it a few times but my bad luck with rolls followed me from XI. I rolled a friggin 7 on the last one!

I've had the opposite luck. I've seen the Predator drop a couple of times since release and have sold a number of Zenos cards.

Nobody is probably gonna believe me but I got mine the first run of Ala Mhigo in my EX roulette the day it got patched in. I wasn't going to gun for it myself but it was nice to just have it right then and there. Still prefer the noodle dragon mount Alte Roite.

When I found out it was in that dungeon I created a pf for me and three others, I got the second one that dropped which took a few hours. I use it occasionally; the mounts I like more then that are Ixion, the Falcon, the tiny red demon wolf, Fenrir, black Pegasus and the cloud.

I have things that you will never see on Faerie unless you see me and many things that are much rarer than your mount.

Therefore, I am special, and you sadly, are not.

Have a nice day!

I lost that mount 3 times, including with a 97 and losing to the tank who couldn't keep agro from me because he sucked.

Yeah, I'm still bitter about it.

I played for months and had numerous rolls on it. Keep up the faith and you will be rewarded. :)
