I was at 34 Dungeons before the Patch. Yesterday I was at Shisui and after the Dungeon I still had 34 wins.
Was it in the Patch Nodes? Did i miss something?

Nobody ever told me that. Its an achievement for clocking 300 runs of instanced content. If it was intended to reward grouping, they would have designed it to only work off of "adventurer in need" status or something like that. Its a reward for playing tanks a lot. Its a reward for putting up with the least number of slots in content, low DPS thus slow questing and farming, tons of skills essentially useless for solo, higher demands put on you by the community, and so on.
I am not a tank main and have no idea what my own progress is towards any of those mounts, but I always figured that 'undersized parties' wouldn't count. That is pure assumption though. Everyone I know with a tank mount tanks everything from dungeons to at least EX trials in synced content.
It doesn't have to be synced as far as I know. I remember groups of 7-8 tanks farming t4 for their mounts back in HW, and I'm pretty sure it was all unsynced.
Either way, the achievement text doesn't actually specify whether it has to be synced. So I dunno, maybe the newer achievements do.
The ones they added with Shadowbringers can't be farmed quite as easily as T4 or Garuda Ex, but I made a ton of progress while farming The Great Hunt Ex unsynced. The extremes it requires are 61+ and that means anything lvl 70 and up will do the job. So yeah, the new ones are almost as easily farmable.
This is striking me as an entitled cry for a free mount without understanding why the incentive was added in the first place.
You could just farm Garuda back in stormblood. I almost have both of my warrior mounts. Gunbreaker dungeons should count towards both mounts, the other tanks EX farming is probably one of the better ways nowadays.
Next time I log in I might try some Garuda again and see if it still counts towards the unarmored bear mount. You could kill her in like 30 seconds in Stormblood, people would put up party finders for tank mount farm.
Or, maybe, I just wanted to do something while there is nothing else for me to do since PvP is unplayable. Think of that, one has to do 900 dungeons to get the Mounts.
So no, I'm not crying because I want to pretend that I have tanked 900 or more dungeons. I just want something to do when I'm bored and alone.
I had 14 clears, did The Sirensong Sea with undersized party option solo and now I have 15. Nothing states that I can't do lv.61 and above dungeons solo. So where's the exploit?Quote:
Tank You, Dark Knight III
Complete 300 dungeons (lv. 61 and above), extreme trials (lv. 61 and above), level 50/60/70 duty roulette dungeons, or duty roulette leveling duties as a dark knight
*Each roulette only counts with daily award bonus
I had 18 and still 18 after The Sirensong Sea solo. Seems like the achievement is working as intended.Quote:
But Somebody's Gotta Do It (Dark Knight)
Complete 200 high-level duties as a dark knight.
Yeah, if nothing is broken then it looks like garuda extreme should still count as a high end duty. I haven't done it since stormblood, but I have been meaning to do Garuda Extreme for that achievement for awhile. Current (and stormblood) extremes should count for both, like Innocence, etc. I think so those are kind of better to farm than dungeons. Gunbreaker is the only one where you can get both mount progress from dungeons.
I bet Emanation extreme would be a really good one to farm for tank mounts.
Yup, still counts. Just did it undersized solo and now I have 19 clears for the "But Somebody's Gotta Do It (Dark Knight)" achievement.
I did it after I read your post and after reading the achievement description to see if it does require a party or not for it to count.
It worked.
I feel like saying something isn't an exploit because it doesn't explicitly say it has a limit feels very much like someone who has to say "Well, it's not TECHNICALLY cheating because it doesn't say."

It's not an exploit. It is working as intended. Roulettes just can't be spammed. Individual duties can be.
I'm not sure why you quoted the footnote for roulettes, since that's not what OP is doing. And the achievement lists options that can be done undersized and has been updated in 5.0.
I guess I better stop helping clear parties for savage raids since it's a weekly thing.
An exploit is when you use a flaw in the system or coding to do things that were not intended (e.g. BLU leveling exploit). An example of something that people call an exploit while it's not, is the safe spot in P4. You have lots of safe areas outside of the AOEs intersection. It's not a single spot that is safe for some unknown reason as some think. And there many cases where you can squeeze in between lots of AOEs to dodge them.

Nowadays Tank-Mount is farmed in Delta 3.0 with a party of 8 Tanks. A run takes under 2 minutes.
I see undersized tank parties all time in party finder for tank mounts. I got all my arr tank mounts from undersized parties. Doesn't Say anywhere in it have to be in full party synced to get credit towards getting it. Undersized parties is not a exploit the only reason they added tank mounts was because no one was playing tanks so they had to do something to get ones to play as them. How bad healers is getting treated they should add healer mounts for them. Remember way back there was exploit where every time healer healed someone they got exp. for it.
Yeah, the stated text of the achievement is that you need to complete duties as a tank. There aren't restrictions on how you do that other than that for some reason they removed the ability to get them from Trust dungeons for some reason? You don't actually need to queue into public things at all to get it. I'm not sure where everyone's reading the subtext that you should have to?
Maybe it's an honor thing? I couldn't care less about receiving my mount as intended or not. It has worked for years like this.
So soloing a dungeon achievement whose only condition is to run high level dungeons is cheating now? Okay then.
If SE wanted grouping with others to be a requirement, they should've made syncing a requirement. The fact that it isn't means the achievement being soloable is either intended, an oversight, or just a silly move on their part. If they wanted to change it, they've had like... what, four years to change it? /Shrug
If devs considered it cheating it wouldn't work with unsyncing Garuda Ex was so popular in HW/SB for tank mount farm they would've clearly done something about it if they didn't want us to do this. Also think op had bug or something cause it very much still works fine unsync running content, also seven in ShB you can get the Tank achievements by running it with Trust.
Couple salty people upset that what you like doing it the hard way & some would rather do things the quick way, do you consider it cheating when people farm Alexander Savage unsynced for Anima or old achievements like Coils Savage.. how ridiculous.
