Over 240 maps and no blue bird.

I do want to say yes, but taking something worth millions from someone doesn't feel right. It's not about pride.

But she's willing to do it. It's not real money just take the help already god

@KaiKatzchen Say 150 maps cost the same as a bluebird minion, if doing the maps yourself means you will get it within 150 maps I'd agree with you, but it's not the case.

150 maps, do them yourself for a chance to the the minion.
150 maps, sell them and have a guaranteed chance to buy it from the market (unless they added an RNG to the marketboard).

Note again that this isn't a general suggestion, some people still like gambling and well, someone has to put those minions in the marketboard, but in OP's case, having wasted so many maps, I think it's time to consider a second option.

Xeno, don't ruin your gaming experience over this RNG crap, save money and move on, the feeling from getting it yourself wont be much different from getting enough gil to buy it directly and both will wear off right away. At least with these minions we have a choice, unlike primal vanity mounts.

But is it truly a pure waste? If the maps were bluebird or nothing I'd agree. But you get gil and other items that can be used or sold, I've made more off the items I got off the map than what I would have got for the map.

But as you said some people like to gamble and/or earn it themselves. Nothing wrong with that.
