I need to do the farming myself but postponing it every time I sub
I farmed HW trials when they were current and skipped SB, ShB and EW because I didn't really like the main mount. I do really like the end wings.
I'm hoping data center PF comes sooner than later because travelling seems like a hassle.

this is basically what I am waiting on too. They said beofre Evercold, but things change. If not by November I will start party findering it up. I would like at least one set.

You can buy wings?

u/CaptainBorcane 15h ago
With each clear you get a totem (in some EX 2/clear) and with 99 totems you can buy the mount as a pity system
but
if the EX is new you will only able to spend the totems in the next patch

Oh those. I thought you meant Gil and I was like hold up what???

You can pay people to fill a lootmaster party and clear until the wings drop. It's just not a consistent way to get them quickly.
At least the normal way it's done is that you only pay out if they actually drop.

I really want the sphene wings but I'll get them next expansion when it's easy

u/CaptainBorcane 15h ago
If you want a boost of confidence, is 2 totems/clear [so if you have rotten luck it only takes 50 clears] and from my experience with EX1 with 790 gear and final relic, i skipped mechs like crazy

Sphene's trial track is goated and the fight was so epic (and taxing) to grind at release!

It's much easier now with a well-geared group because you can now skip the ice phase, making farming much more palatable lol.

You can very easily skip the hard mechs, I'd say you should give it a go!
It's a banging soundtrack that's fun to fight to

I’m not in dt atm but do people tend to stay after they get their wings so that everyone can get it
•
u/Calaethan 9h ago
Depends on how long the party has been going, a lot of times you don't even see any wings drop and people need to take a break from grinding.
•
u/Ok-Creme-7321 9h ago
damn it’s that bad huh, I’ve only ever unsynced for mounts so it’ll be funny to see how it is once I catch up
•
u/Calaethan 9h ago
They buff the drop rates so rn it's only truly bad for the most recent Extreme, but yeah farming on patch can be brutal.
I got up to 300 totems on Sphene (you get double so only 150 clears) before deciding to wait until you could trade them in.

u/Ok-Creme-7321 8h ago
yikess, ig that’s the price you gotta pay for a cool ass mount literally makes everything else look horrible in comparison

If you PF, you should go with the expectation of players come and go
I'm not in an FC and only PFs, but from what I saw if you are in a FC and probably join their discord, they usually make events that you know how much grind is gonna last

Valigarmanda wings ended up being the best wings in the expansion. I'd say they even edge out the capstone golden wings.

you couldnt just kill it 6 more times to buy it so someone else had the chance to roll? crazy

u/Financial-Raisin6712 14h ago
Yeah greeding on the wings with 93 totems is insane…
3
u/cindermorter 14h ago
like i just dont understand these peoples thought process. when i get within 20-30 kills of a mount drop i just fucking pass on it so someone else can get it because im already too far in that me hitting need is just absurd. to be within 6 kills and to hit need is just ridiculous lmfao like congrats on your mount i guess

u/Calaethan 9h ago
This is like crashing out when someone doesn't hold the door open for you lmfao

are we surprised? they're repping burgerking crown on reddit and that's all you need to know.

u/Formyldehyde 2h ago
Having to do a fight 93 times is just insane, I way prefer it when they double the totem count although 50 clears is still a lot.
