The Amaro mount...

[Canadane]

The game regurgitates exp all over you.
It rains from the skies. You'd have to try to not get everything capped.

This post might be more impressive if I have everything capped but I'm half way there or so...

I only have 11 mounts now, and the Amaro is just another that I will never get. There's no way I'll grind all those jobs to max. I can barely stand working on leveling my crafters, let alone tanks and healers.

this is actually impressive. I have 68 mounts and yet you have the frog mount before me... I cant seem to have the luck to have that fate pop when Im online.

You can actually get the frog and the pet in like a day, but I don't really know the optimal way to do so. A friend of a friend did, and got my friend both as well, but I don't really know exactly how he knew when they were up cross world or whatever. I think he had timers or something, I don't do hunts that often though, so I don't really have that down..

It's a matter of being lucky enough to be in Kholusia when it spawns, killing it, then switching instances and killing it two more times. I got the mount and pet in the same day.

It's OK to not get a prestige mount you don't want to do the prestige achievement for.

People might as well be complaining about the metadog or metabird; not everyone is willing to set enough time on fire doing the busywork and that's what keeps those mounts somewhat uncommon.

That's fine. Heck, a hotly anticipated mount is a lot cooler for this particular achievement than another stupid hat.

I think the key problem people have is not so much there is a mount at this achievment point but that it's the mount teased in MSQ multiple times just like in the past. Not only the standard of highly teased mounts becoming a reward later in the story but in general a history of mount rewards part of the story. We've had Manacutter, Midgardsormr, Black Chocobo, Company Chocobo, Magitek Walker, and the Yol.

It's just rather unusual and not to standard. Personally, to me, that doesn't mean SE HAS to follow that past precedence but it's certainly out of precedence and so it's a bit disappointing (expected but then told "no"). I know some others said it bothered them a lot more though, I'm just speaking for myself ("oh, that's a bummer and a bit weird- but okay I guess" though if they decided to change it I would certainly be okay with that.. haha <3).

So I'm not disagreeing that it's okay to have prestige mounts, of course it is ! lol. I'm just saying for many the issue is that this is out of expectation/precedence, and it was a precedence many people liked. So issue isn't the concept of prestige mounts, at least for many.

It would feel more worth it to me if the Amaro was like our Chocobo. I would love another mount to level, put barding on and fight by my side. Being able to adjust the Amaro color at the stable would be amazing too! If this were the case I would make getting everything to 80 a priority!

But there's no chance of this because of how it's earned. They would not put so much development resources around a mount that so few people have. If it was the story mount you could probably make that request but not as it is now.

Ala Mhigo dungeon also has a mount drop which was a weird and pleasant surprise. Pretty sure nothing drops in any of the new expansion dungeons.

I don't mind that there's an achievement with a mount.

But the Amaro is the standard, most common mount used in the First. It feels like something that should be easier to achieve. Or at least make it like, 'do all four role stories' sort of mount and not LEVEL EVERY JOB mount.
