Why would the unicorn be an exception to that? I'm not against the idea of all classes having a unique mount of course, I'm just genuinely curious. I mean you do need a lvl 30 WHM to get the quest.

cause u can fate grind to 30 pretty easy n not even enter a dungeon XD if it was to encourage more people to join high/low level dungeons as a healer it would of been similar achivement requirements to tanks mounts :P

The reasoning behind that, I think Yoshi-P explained during the closed beta, was that at the beginning of the game up to level 30 the Conjurer would be the one and only Healer class available. There wouldn't be any scholar before level 30 (and astrologian wasn't even a thing, of course), thus potentially creating a role unbalance in the early levels. The special mount was put there so more people would be encouraged to level conjurer at least up to level 30, so they could get their special mount for collection and go back to their main job.

Nowadays the problem is basically solved, especially thanks to the low-level roulette, but in the first months of the game it could have been potentially game-breaking.

I love mounts and wish that all the roles had their own. I can understand tank and healer getting mounts, but I'd like to see DPS get their own as well. I'm a collector and they don't take up inventory space.

Also would love to see more barding for my chocobo. Love to play dress up with my chocobo. Some very unique combinations have come from what I've gotten so far.

Are you saying there are no dungeons before level 30?

Not quite. You just need a 30 CNJ. I flagged this quest and the WHM quest at the same time. I completed the WHM quest first. I couldn't even turn in the unicorn quest with my job crystal. I had to switch back to CNJ.

thats my point ;/ why make healers mount so easy to get while tanks 1 takes x amount of dungeon runs.. imo every class should have a mount available but all the same requirements to get it, 500 dungeon runs for example

because in 2.0, there was only CNJ as a healer for lv15-30, creating a huge imbalance in the duty finder. thus putting there the unicorn to give incentives to the players to level that up and fill dungeons. the low level roulette solving the problem only came in 2.1.

On the other hand, the tank shortage is everywhere, and was a big problem at end game (Ex primals and coil). that's why they put tank mounts there.
