Starbird Minion

[FrogDog]

Simple, if something has low drop-chance, it should be sellable. There is always the risk that a certain person farming it has so bad luck that he have spent god knows how many days on trying to get something, meanwhile another person sits on 5 in 10 runs.

Errrrr....thanks for explaining my point to me.

I got it on my Trust clear for my main. Got to love rng I suppose. I hate chasing stuff and for me at least I'm not a collector which helps.

My question is why isn't there a token system for these untradeable minions when even EX mounts (that come from content infinitely harder than dungeons) have a token system? Like you wouldn't need to worry about "flooding the marketplace" and "ruining the economy" if they are untradeable, so I honestly don't know why there isn't a token system for each of these untradeable minions. Like this stupid RNG garbage would be bearable if after 99 runs you're guaranteed to get it by swapping tokens for it but as far as I'm concerned you either get in on your first run or do a million runs and never see it drop.

Or just let us buy these minions from other players like every other minion that drops in every dungeon apart from this expansion. You know, like how it has worked for a decade.

But why didn't they just give us this one?.

Because they know people typically avoid directly queuing into the final dungeon unless there's a highly desirable reward. They did this in Stormblood too, which makes me think the Magitek Predator mount they gave us wasn't enough of an incentive to keep Ala Mhigo popping. I'm actually surprised they don't put rare drop mounts or minions in the trials. You almost never see Innocence and it'll probably be the same for Hydaelyn, sadly.

If you read above... I already said I and others are just running it with trusts so we don't roll wrong if it does drop.

That's helping no one else either.

I'm at 62 runs now btw =(

Also sorry for late response, I apparently hit my posting limit yesterday and didn't know that was a thing lol.

Took me 11 runs.
The Starbird responds to these emote:

• /handover = Flies over and feeds from your hand
• /beckon = Flies toward you, turns, and perches on your shoulder
• /pet = When flying, it will perform a loop

The last chest can also drop an orchestration roll, https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodes...m/9af5f129926/ which is the music in the dungeon.

Umm can you please edit? I don't think many of us wanted to know all that if we're trying to grind it and honestly just seems like you're showing off.

Honestly I'm just kinda pissed they didn't make it sellable on the marketboard.

See above. The minion description contains massive story spoilers.

Making it stay off the market board is the way of helping keep other players from having it ruined.

They seem to do it for other minions too, like the Tiny Troll minion.

Well at least it prevented me from the temptation of selling the minion for oodles of gil. I was lucky enough to get the minion on my first run that I just decided to do trust to see the NPC banter/dialogue.

The minion description you can only see if you own the minion and are looking at it in minion guide.

Totally understand the frustration. I actually got the minion last night after only about 10 runs. I just had to have it.

Normally, my RNG in this game is absolute horse shit, but last night I got really lucky.
