    Even though Astrope is grindable, I feel like it's still more of a chore to get then the Centurio Tiger due to how much more involved dungeon runs are vs. hunting S ranks.

    Trust me, unless you live, breathe, and die S ranks, the level of difficulty is nowhere near close. S ranks also require player effort to spawn, you know; they don't just appear on their own.

    I have the tiger and am trying to get the Ultimate Thrillseeker title (Under the likely faulty assumption it'll also offer an achievement reward in the future), so I know plenty well how much effort it can take to spawn some S ranks.

    The majority of them only take a minute or two to check up on, though, and if you have an exhaustive LS network and people to help you hunt them down, it takes a lot of the stress out of it as it becomes unlikely you'll miss anything if you're not AFK. I work in shifts monitoring them with a group of friends so we can actually do other stuff while we wait for them to spawn.

    It feels more...relaxed then the dungeon grind of the Astrope mount because it's kind of counter-productive to constantly check on the S ranks anyways (I usually wait a hour or so between checks on ones that aren't time restricted; longer for the especially annoying ones like Leucrotta and Udumbara).
