99 token exchange for dog mount?

[Kai_Lee]

I did not see this in the patch note, anyone have info?

Last piece of info I have is that they were "considering" it for 4.2 - so... might be in, might not be in. We will know for sure in less than 24h.

Am I the only one who thinks it’s ridiculous these mounts aren’t available for 99 totems when their primals are current content? Some can argue “we are lucky they can be bought with totems at all, we couldn’t buy the primal ponies EVER!!!” but we all know it’s a thing and will continue to be a thing.

Those killing these primals 99 times and not winning a whistle in that time probably “deserves” the mount more than Joe Schmoe that won it on their first kill.

Honestly, I'm okay with that - the mounts can stay special for the lucky and/or really dedicated ones for a while and then made easier by increased droprates and token-exchange after a while.

I agree I really hope they included it, despite it not being mentioned in the patch notes.

They don't make them availaible at their release because they are expecting people to keep farming these content and hope for luck.
Of course, some are just stopping at 99 now, but others keep farming.

It's a way to make content kept being farmed.

Not saying this is the best, but it's surely what they got in mind.

I have 125 totems and i have seen this mount only twice, i met a guy with 183 totems and he doesn't have it yet. It's not a question of dedication ^^ but if the RNG want to f... you you can waste hours and hours, you won't gain it x.x

At this rate the fight become borring and instead of fun you just feel some frustration, so ya i would prefer they give us the opportunity to buy those mounts by trading 99 totems the same day they add this content.

I acquired a couple hundred totems trying to get the Lakshimi dog when the primal was new. Only saw it drop 8 times and never rolled higher than 40 so never got it. Ended up super salty over it and just stopped doing primals altogether.

I killed Lakshmi and Susano both 150+ times before I was deigned worthy by RNG. I have 151 Shinryu totems before I finally gave up. I don’t have a static - these runs were done via PF so that means on top of the hours actually getting kills there were many trap parties which didn’t result in a kill at all. Is this not “dedicated” enough? With my history so far with SB primals I know I will have to kill this new primal at least 99 times and then wait months before I am able to get a reward for my time and effort.

Making them purchasable when they’re relevant won’t make them less special. It may encourage people to keep doing the fight even instead of waiting for a nerf to the fight or increased drop rate of the whistle.

I'd like to suggest with the totems that a certain number of them could also buy the "piece" of the primal that we need to craft with. For example, 50 Bismark totems could buy an Expanse Baleen.
