Job Specific Mounts for Everyone!

[Miya_Carbuncle]

been asking for this for months nows.. every class should have thier own specific mounts... people say its to get more people playing tanks n healers in dungeons but the unicorn mount at level 30 just says otherwise lol

Why would the unicorn be an exception to that? I'm not against the idea of all classes having a unique mount of course, I'm just genuinely curious. I mean you do need a lvl 30 WHM to get the quest.

cause u can fate grind to 30 pretty easy n not even enter a dungeon XD if it was to encourage more people to join high/low level dungeons as a healer it would of been similar achivement requirements to tanks mounts :P

The reasoning behind that, I think Yoshi-P explained during the closed beta, was that at the beginning of the game up to level 30 the Conjurer would be the one and only Healer class available. There wouldn't be any scholar before level 30 (and astrologian wasn't even a thing, of course), thus potentially creating a role unbalance in the early levels. The special mount was put there so more people would be encouraged to level conjurer at least up to level 30, so they could get their special mount for collection and go back to their main job.

Nowadays the problem is basically solved, especially thanks to the low-level roulette, but in the first months of the game it could have been potentially game-breaking.
