Kinda hard to do Pony Farming now in Heavensward

[VirusChris]

I manage to get both my Titan and Shiva Ponies post-3.0 but I have yet to get the Ramuh Pony and it's becoming increasingly hard to find people interest in farming or helping me get the pony.

I've asked my FC, shouted in every major area, posted a Pony Farm Party in PF and yet I rarely can find any people to do it especially with the Undersize Party method to make it more easier and faster to farm Ramuh.

I don't want to change Servers as I find a lot of good friends on Malboro but it's getting depressing that I can't find people anymore for Pony Farming and I have gotten a few successful parties in the past but only 3 drops for the Ramuh Pony and I miss on all of them (rolls sucked most of the time).

And not only that but some of the people that DO join end up leaving like 10 minutes waiting for more people... they have to understand this is old content and it's going to take long for a lot of people to join.

I kinda wish the Undersize Party method feature had a second function where you can search for other people who have the Undersize Party method across the servers and join with them if you're unable to find people for PF or asking around in your server.

Would be easier for the EX Primals for sure, but it sucks I can hardly find 7 other people to do Pony Farming anymore. I know they want to farm for the Alexander Gear but I like to get my last pony and get the Kirin Mount... it's so taunting that I'm one pony away from getting that special mount.


What do you guys suggest I do that is NOT transferring to another server? I really like to get this Pony but I can't find anyone interest in doing it anymore.

It's not just Malboro. Behemoth is just about as bad now. Got my Shiva and Titan ponies post 3.0 too, but still need my Levi and Ramuh... and the pool is all but dry now.

I know... and what's the % drop rate for Ponies anyway? I mean I know they're rare drops, but it becomes increasingly annoying you do multiple runs and it doesn't drop and it took you so long to find a party they end up leaving in less than an hour. I honestly like to have join other players with Undersize Party feature on for the EX Primals so you can join up with other players across the server... would make it more likely to find someone.

But I guess I'll keep on trying. I wonder what will happen to players who need to clear those EX Primals for the first time?

[Dree-Elle]

If I recall correctly, the drop rate for the primal ponies is somewhere around 20% now (non-cumulative; Nightmare remains a flat 5%).

Ponies droprate was nerfed twice if I remember right, the droprate is not a problem.
The idea of having undersized duty finder is actually quite good and I would like to see this ingame.

When ponies can fly people will try them again!

I feel like I see groups filling up in Party Finder all the time for unsynced Primal farming. Maybe it's just Excalibur and maybe they aren't successful groups, I dunno I haven't actually joined any of them.

It's not only pony farm problem , ppl's no want revisit COil also . With very hard and time spendin' i managed to gather t9 pt only for ppl's rage quit after few wipes D:
SE have to do this content more rewarding for draw ppl's back or more nerf to nearly solo it .

Try doing 4 ppl pony farms.
The only primal tht will be still hard is ramuh as tanks r still hard to heal solo as overcharging can be a bit rough.
4 less ppl to roll against and dps should still a bit better than the syncd 8 mans.
