EX mount drop rates still trash.

[AddictedToWitches]

I only think that old expac extremes should have the mount drop rate increased to 50-100%, especially if you're trying to do fights that are still VERY VERY LONG unsynced (hades extreme)

Farming Limitless Blue (Extreme) is agony. lol

The thing is there is this thing called Shared Fates which is equally time consuming every new expansion. So you have to do msq, unlock flights, do shared fates, and farm ex for mounts if you want to get them done all before savage.

Thats a lot of time commitment. They need to make mount drop easier, reduce totem required, or make shared fates faster. Either of those is okay.

Its why I dont farm EXs anymore. The weap are often replaced by crafter weap. The mount you can just get later when it gets easier to farm. Getting it right away feels pointless when shared fates is a thing, with cool rewards throughout expansion and groups to do it are only active at the beginning of patches/expansion.

current expansion/current extreme drop rates have always been about 1%, it's why i never farm the current extremes. do it for weapons as needed and that is all. it is a waste of sub time to farm current mounts from ex trials.

This here.
Farm the ex till you have a weapon and then come back when the drop rates are better.
Maybe do a few runs in between to not forget the fight.

I still remember doing Heydalein 100 times and then another 100 times for a friend.
I couldn’t hear, feel or think anymore.

As long as people play the content in numbers the devs consider "engaging" enough, they have no reason to stop, obviously 100 runs is good enough for most people so they keep farming it.

I also think people underestimate the amount of time they need to pour into this, if it's a 100 runs, and each run takes around 8-10m, this is around 15 hours of just doing an EX, if you get unlucky and need to do it for both that is around 30ish hours.
Than again if you play 4h a day and only do that and you never lose that is /only/ a bit more than a week to get both mounts...

Another issue I have with this is you cant even desync or GC trade the excess items you get from the EX, so you just farm with 0 profit unless you get a mount drop.

At this point I have so many mounts that I don't really even care about new ones.

it’s a lot more than that with the PF wait times, replacements, etc.

Didn't Heydalein drop 2 totems at a time?

And why each of you have to do it separately instead of just together from the beginning?

[angienessyo]

They keep it that way to keep people playing, that's really all it is. I'm fine with the low drop rate, my complaint is the 2 fights only give 1 totem so I have to farm each fight 99 times. Which I mean, I know fights used to only drop 1, but the majority of fights in Endwalker dropped 2, which gave me the impression they would continue that.
