Triple Triad Idea

[Jeeqbit]

Yes, extreme fights will become easier, what has made it a bit annoying for me is holding some of them behind Hildibrand quest completion, collectable ranks, beast tribe ranks, blue mage quests, tournaments where getting into the top #20 is unlikely unless you have the patience to wait hours to fight players.

It's not that big of a problem but it has effectively prevented me getting certain cards for a long time until I got round to certain grinds. The one good thing about the mount is it immediately rewards doing a wide variety of content in the game that some people were not previously interested in.

They also drop from normal trials. Memoria Misera is the only one that doesn't because it doesn't have a normal story version. Tournament cards do not count for this mount, you only need the first 312 cards. The character cards from the special tab are not needed (you still need the open tournament Phoenix card though, but that's actually easy).
The only ones I find tedious and unfair are the Eureka related cards, just because it takes forever to unlock zones on abandoned content. You can skip some of the fate card grind in there because as you unlock zones, you also unlock the NPC to battle for those cards, which you have to do anyway to get Ejika Tsunjika's card, which is easier and faster than chasing the fates, but still takes a while of boring dead content to reach Hydatos.
