How close are you to your Astrope mount!!???!!??

[kingatlas]

Its been out awhile now, still have yet to see one, wondering if anyones getting close?

[Failia]

And you likely won't see one for quite a few years. You need to do 2000 mentor roulettes to get one. 1 mentor roulette a day, every single day, will take 5 years.

I heard that one Japanese player has the Astrope, but I haven't seen any proof. It might be 'possible' if they had done quite a lot of Mentor roulettes before they even added the mount I guess.

You'd have to do quite a lot per day to get it within a reasonable amount of time :/

My calculation: to get it in around one year's time you would need to do at least 6 successful mentor roulettes every day for 365 days.

6 x 365 = 2190

5 x 365 = 1825 (5 leaves you a bit short but would only take you a bit longer than a year)

This looks like very conclusive evidence to me: http://ff14net.2chblog.jp/archives/49009678.html

If that's not test server screenshots then that's ridiculous. I just don't understand some people. For the record I'm at 77.

Not conclusive. It has Golden Japanese text in one of the images so if I were to guess it is screenshots made by SE.

If there was a character name to lookup on the Lodestone to see the mount in their mount list that would be conclusive evidence; otherwise no that's not conclusive evidence and looks like SE's screenshots.

Minion Menagerie scans the lodestone to find out who has minions and mounts and still shows Astrope at 0 as of this post, while another mount added the same patch "Dark Lanner" from Nid EX has 1,377 owners as of this post. It's not 100% proof either but its likely no one has it then.

My Japanese is rusty but that tweet says roughly "I finally got the Astrope mount, I've passed Yoshida's final test!" & I believe the thing at the bottom says they did it 133 days. Which if the math is right is about 16ish roulettes per day


Edit: After google translate double checking myself I can confirm that is what is says. They started February 23rd & got it July 5th.... o.O

I'm not sure I've understood it so ... here's my question:
Can't you queue more than once a day? I mean ... nobody would do it since it would be tiring and devastating but theoretically, one could just farm Mentor's roulette until he has cleared 2000 instances, right?

[Fynlar]

Yes, you can do as many per day as you're able to. You just only get the roulette gil + tomes once per day (although role-in-need gil can also be claimed as many times per day as you're able)

[worldofneil]

If I do the roulette twice in a day, the second time I seem to get an extreme primal 90% of the time (synced to 50 and no matter how much we go over strategy, we never complete it, so it basically wastes 40 minutes).
