Sleipnir Mount - Becoming a reality!

[Alberel]

The devs have said that Odin's story would be explained eventually. His fate battle pretty clearly says there's more to it than the players realise when they kill him. It would make perfect sense for there to eventually be a confrontation with him at Urth's Fount as part of the main story...

I doubt anything like this would be exclusive to fan fest though. That would be a LOT of work for something that would only see a few days use. All the primal trials at events were just modified versions of the normal primal trials, nothing completely new like this would be.

[Alukah]

None of what you posted sounds like a dungeon. It sounds like the lore that explains the exsistenice of ruts fount.

The client data shows a trial called Urth's Fount, for 8 players and time limit of 15 mins. This is not theory-crafting, it's in the client files.

I hope this mount becomes a reality and I hope its super rare and incredibly difficult to obtain.

Would really be dumb to see hundreds of sleipnirs running around

Prepare to see tears about gating content or some trash when this happens

[Amused]

I hope its super rare

Please, no. I don't care if it's hard to get but don't make it some absurdly low drop rate.

Luck should not dictate who gets what.

Way to degrade the mighty companion of an elder primal to something that 70 percent of the server will use for the first two weeks after it comes out in an attempt to feel special. Such a shame. ;_;

Shall I point out that we are riding a Primal itself? >>>> Behemoth.

[Rennah]

Behemoth isn't a primal, just a particularly powerful and rare monster.

Behemoth isn't a primal, just a particularly powerful and rare monster.

I suppose I've read the developer's blog entry in a different way, but I digress... Odin and Behemoth are treated pretty much on par in the game, and Odin has already given away all of its armor (almost all of it. I still want the cape and shield), so at this point I'd be happy to have Sleipnir as well.

At least it's a horse with its joints in the right places.

This better not come from the Fanfest NOR collecting all the elemental horses though.

[Gilraen]

Until I see some mention of it on Lodestone I'm taking all this talk as opinions and rumors. I don't really care that it's in the data files, as I've said before it wouldn't be the first time there's been data files in the game that never gets used.

A several things in the 2.38 patch were done in preparation for 2.4. There was also a recent reply by a staff member on the request for Odin's Shield saying that things were in the works to make it available.

We may be looking at a preloading of a trial to be added in 2.4X.

While the development team does not have a time frame for when Odin’s Shield will be implemented, there are plans to add a way to obtain the shield in the future.
