Suggestion: 99 totems = 1 lanner whistle

[MiniPrinny]

Wait what? We can? Where?

Ignoring the weapons from Sephirot, you can exchange totems and helm fragments for weapons, and then either turn those in for GC seals or desynth them into crafting materials.

I like this idea too. 99 is definitely enough. I feel like I've been running Ravana forever now and I've only done around 40 farm runs. It's still a good amount to keep it rare and not too difficult either.

The fun part with this is that the drop rate will get buffed after a few patches, moreover the bosses will be even more facerolled with better gear. Despite all that, people spend unbelievable amounts of time to farm something like this only to get devalued to shit after a few months. Gratz for your time wasted i guess.

It's still the same mount. While I believe some things should stay rare in the game, everything has a shelf life.

So I suppose that you should not do any content which is less than 4 patches old then.

Exactly.. why bother doing anything since it's just going to get outdated within a 2-3 months. Get off the treadmill now! XD (btw I'm up to run 196, still no luck)

A friendly advice. If you are past 150 runs (especially Ravana) just give it up. I did about 600+ runs and the bird dropped only 14 times. I lost all of them of course. It is not really worth wasting so much time for something used only to get your bum from point A to point B no more than thousand ingame meters... and that you rarely use anyway (except that 10-30 min when you need to show off in Idyllshire).

Also, doesn't it make you guys wonder why there is always someone who rolls 90+. It feels as if there is some sort of "black magic" involved.

[Valkyrie-Amber]

so 181 runs seen whisle 18 times and lose all rolls... then a couple of my friends who are casual run it like 3 times hey look at our white lanner....

so from what I gather cause I'm not winning my rolls I'm doing it wrong cause so many people seem to get it easy.

We have lots of people who seem to care about this mount. I just wonder, if they had this 99 token feature when the mounts launched if you guys would still want the mount as much?

It's like the Zu mount. People clamoring on about how huge and awesome it is, yet, who in their right mind rode their huge behemoth mount around all that much? As most people, I summoned it probably twice and thought, "well its neat I guess," then never summoned it again. It's the same with this Zu mount, but people care so much because they are uncommon so people want to have a unique look.

I do think at some point SE will allow tokens to be used like this thread is talking about, but even if it was tomorrow, I think suddenly the birds would be less cool all of a sudden to the majority. While some might think having something rare is prestigious or something, most I think just like a unique look cause most of the time our characters all look like invasion of the clones.

Do you see as many people flying around on kirin mounts anymore? What about pegasus? It's just primal birds for days now. Kirin is even more of a pain to get than a primal bird but lots of people have them now so less people ride around on it anymore. I'm just as guilty, my Kirin hasn't been summoned in forever....probably since 2.0. It's kind of difficult to maintain interest in a mount once you have it.

[Aquaslash]

Yes to both actually. In no particular order, top ten mounts I see on my server are

Kirin
Sephirot falcon
Ravana falcon
Turtle
Zu
Midgardsormr
White falcon
Fat chocobo
*Insert color* magitek
And of course, good ol chocos

I agree a bit with what you're saying, but at least on my server, it isn't to the extent you think it is. There are still daily pony farms at any given moment
