    This is somewhat incorrect. The 20 leaves chest is not a guaranteed spawn, sometimes it's just 10.

    Sometimes rumors are just... rumors.

    Oh you're right, I missed that. So getting both pictures twice gives 30-50 leaves per week. The way the grid is designed it's almost impossible to not find at least one retelling and one 2x2 box per week, so 15-25 points minimum. Finding both pictures isn't too uncommon if you play the game efficiently.

    An average of 25 per week would mean the mount takes 24 weeks / 48 kills. That's less effort than many other primal mounts, but it's not an immediate reward.

    24 weeks is almost half a year. Much longer than a single patch cycle. By then, there will have been a new mount added to the rewards list while I'm still trying to buy the first one. (This is even taking into account I'm doing the fight consistently twice every single week with no breaks) Not to mention trying to get the minion as well. It's just not reasonable.

    The mount is tradeable so you can buy it from players who are not collectors. New collectibles get added all the time before everyone gets the old ones. Every patch there is a new primal mount, new music rolls, new minions, new hair styles, new glamours using rare submarine or map loot as materials, and so on. They are tradeable for a reason.

    48 kills is not out of the ordinary in this game, and neither is 24 weeks. Custom delivery titles take around that long to get.

    That's all well and good, but the custom delivery content is both incredibly low-impact content anyone can participate in and keep up with each week, and is massively rewarding to do per week even without the slow crawl towards the final title. Unreal is both unforgivingly difficult, harder to actually participate in, and gives zero reward for doing outside of the tiny amount of leaves per week. They really need more per week rewards beyond just the leaves for Unreal/Faux Hollows to make it not such a unsatisfying chore. The mount should be the cherry on top, but there needs to be a more filling reward structure along the way to keep people engaged.

    Custom deliveries doesn't require seven other people to be semi-competent and takes all of five minutes. Not exactly a good comparison.
