I will preface this by saying I am not advocating lowering Feast reward exclusivity. I'm also not posting this to whine about it being hard to get, as to date I've placed in every Feast season and have all of the feast exclusive mounts, as such, I feel there is a high chance for me to place again. I will also add that Aulus is my favourite NPC.

My main concern is adding something so unrelated to feast as a feast reward. The previous rewards made sense. Hellhounds for the wolf theme, gear that had no tie into any main character or even the MSQ.

However, out of nowhere a mount is added that is very strongly tied to an NPC. This NPC has nothing to do with feast. He's a mad scientist, barely even a combat character and far from what I would consider 'bloodthirsty' as of the theme of Feast.

Not only does the reward not scream 'feast', it's also a bit unfair for fans of this character. All other NPC-related items have been obtainable either in game or through the cash shop. Fan of Aymeric? Get his gear in the cash shop! Livia and Nero, get their mounts in the cash shop! Scions? Gear in the cash shop!

Aulus? Well, better start feasting.

I don't know why the skill level is so greatly increased for item obtainability for this one NPC.

Please consider creating a unique, more aptly-themed reward for Feast, and moving the gear for this particular NPC obtainable for all current and future fans of this character to obtain.
