Bear & Lion mounts

[SummonerSenah]

Gear up a tank enough to run T1, T2, T4, and Levi EX. A paladin in my FC decided to skip atma and just farmed Levi EX for the sword. I think he did probably around 50 runs before it dropped. That's 25% towards his lion. A good party can clear Levi EX in like 10 minutes, maybe less. And if you take the head instead of the tail, you've got the easy part.

Think of it this way (not exact numbers just making a point. You have 100 tanks, 500 healers, and 20,000 dps. They all do their Primals and don't do them again....you still have a lot of dos without tanks and healers. The incentives fixes this by encouraging those fewer roles to come back for the dps who want in.

Become a tank/healer today and fight the good fight!

[Kimikryo]

Do you honestly think ---- when you stop playing as dps in ex primals ---- because you poor little snowflake don't get a mount --- anybody would notice a change?

The amount to tank might be a bit insane. Yes. And reward for doing low level dungeons for tanking? :x
Yeah maybe 10 teleport vouchers.

Okay, so what's the incentive for me as DPS do to the EX primals, other than finish them once? After I'm done with them I surely won't touch them again.

There is no need for incentive for DPS to do Ex Primals. If you, as a DPS, choose to sit out an Ex Primal, there's a dozen or more DPS eager to take your place. If a tank decides to sit out Ex Primals, that's another half hour or more added to the queue for the DPS and healers waiting in line. Tanks need enticement to repeat content they've already cleared and no longer need. DPS do not.

As for never touching them again, that may be true for you - but by the time you've cleared two hundred fights, you're very likely at least slightly competent as a tank. Instant queue times can be a pretty hefty temptation to tank again, unless you absolutely can't stand the role. Need some Tomestones? Queue up for Roulette as a DPS and wait thirty minutes or more just to get into the dungeon, or hop on your Tank and get in in under five seconds?

A player who has earned one or more tank special mounts has put a lot of effort into tankery. Some will leave it behind forever at that point, but most, I think, will be willing to tank again.

My Wife has like 9/XXX on this achievement. We do content to complete it not to do it till we are sick of it.

[Midori_Nabooru]

Oh wow, not even HM primals count towards this? The requirements are pretty harsh.

It really isn't. They were trying to give incentive for more people to play tanks, since everyone complained there was never enough.

I don't think I'll ever go after those, warbear is alright, but warlion... what's wrong with his eyes?! And the fur looks so unnatural, whoever designed it has pretty weird (bad) taste.

I do agree with the person in the previous page, low level needs more tanks than end-game, people who main tank will do end-game trials/raids even if there's no incentive, as this is a progression game.

I guess she just isn't dedicated enough then. She doesn't deserve the mount. The entire point was to reward tanks for sticking it out and putting some time into the class. Not for beating a fight once.

It took me only 2 months to earn my bear. Only the last 27 fights were farmed because I wanted to finish it. The rest were helping people with coil1 and ex primals. It wasn't that hard.

The lion is just a recolored Chimera with two of the heads left off. I think it looks kind of derpy but I wanted it anyway because of the achievement it represents. It's basically an instant indicator that I'm a career tank. ^^
