Garo Mounts: Is it True Yoshi-P?

[Grimmel]

During PAX; Yoshi-P mentioned that so long as you have the title, you'll be able to collect the Garo mounts long after the Priest Lady has moved on.

Dev's is this true? If so thank you!

That's nice to know. I can continue to rack up wins slowly because I couldn't jump on the farm train when it hit.

I wonder why they bound the gear achievement into getting to level 60, I have nearly all the gear now but have to work on getting the jobs to level 60 before the achievements go away otherwise I won't get the opportunity to sell the gear off and get it back later from the salvager. That's a bit annoying XD.

Just to add I believe in the PAX question he added something along the lines of "I think", like it's 98% sure.. so 2% chance maybe not true lol.

All this means is you can pick up the mount from Jonthas after the event has ended as long as you unlocked the achievement before the event has ended >_> Don't see what's to get so excited about.

[Espritduo]

That's not exactly what it means. Because having one of the titles is the only requirement for getting the mount achievement, and you keep the titles even after the priest leaves, you can continue (or start) to farm for the mounts any time forever. Nice of him to confirm that though.

Didn't they say the Garo stuff is a perm thing that will last even after 4.0?

The event and gear are not a permanent thing unfortunately.

What I'm curious about is that he mentioned the garo gear will be purchasable from the mgs with mgp, albeit can't be dyed. Would this allow us to get the same ranks that we could normally get from completing a full set using wolf marks? and if so, will it be the dyed version that can be purchased from the vendor or do we just earn the title? and would that title contribute to the final achievement where you must have all titles?

Hey everyone,

As we've been getting a lot of questions asking when the Garo collaboration would end, we wanted to share some comments made Yoshida during the recent 3.5 Patch note reading broadcast. He mentioned the event is set as a long-term event, which is over 6 months long, and it will last even after the release of 4.0!

You'll have enough time to collect a full set of gear, and work towards the mounts!

Greetings, adventurers!

The GARO collaboration gear was implemented as PvP equipment, and as such we've made it so that it can first be obtained through PvP. However, in Patch 3.55 we will add the undyeable version of this gear, which will be obtainable in exchange for MGP. If you're interested in this gear ahead of time, we encourage you to try out the PvP content!

We apologize for any confusion regarding how to obtain the gear.

I hope you're all enjoying this event as much as I have been so far!

However to my knowledge the mounts are tied to achievements and as long as you have one of the titles needed when winning in pvp it should in theory count towards the the mount achievement regardless of if the event has passed.

Ya but getting into a decent team is still RNG based.
