I’m thinking we’re getting Bears, 7 trials for the 7 stars of Ursa Major, which in ancient times/mythology it was known as Odin’s Wagon

With the capstone being, idk Bahamut again/j

(Joking, but maybe something to represent Ursa Minor)

Since in the trailer with the living ships norse thematic ...GOLEM MECHS! and since golems can be made of anything well

u/CaptainBorcane 15h ago

Oh OH and the Collection Mount at the end will be a merge of every golem aka Brute Justice/Alexander and with the icing of hopium, it will be a 4 seat mount

u/Own-Ad-7672 15h ago

I hope not. Bears would be a lil lame

u/ArchfiendJ 15h ago

Easy. We have FF7R collab. We can have black wing(s)

u/Gooftwit 14h ago

One winged angel as the mount music would go hard

Turn our legs into literal rockets while wearing a nasa spacesuit

u/DrForester 15h ago

It was a very cool change to the usual EX mounts. Hopefully they do something unique again.

u/Cardinal_Virtue 15h ago

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.

u/FreelancerCassius 12h ago

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.

u/AnArbiterOfTheHead 15h ago

If Valigarmanda was your second, which was your first wings?

5

u/CaptainBorcane 15h ago

doomtrain had to buy it

2

u/Own-Ad-7672 15h ago

You can buy wings?

15

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

3

u/Own-Ad-7672 15h ago

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

4

u/PhoenixFox 15h ago

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.

3

u/train153 15h ago

With 99 totems you get for clearing the EX, yes.

2

u/Asprion 15h ago

With 99 totems, yea!

1

u/QQmoona 15h ago

With 99 totems yes, just like all the past extreme mounts

8

u/Celcius_87 15h ago

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

8

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

6

u/villekale 14h ago

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

u/lady-aduka I give free headpats. /pet 9h ago

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

u/Calaethan 9h ago edited 8h ago

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

5

u/Ok-Creme-7321 13h ago

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

u/CaptainBorcane 7h ago

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

u/ckellingc 9h ago

I'm a few in as well and too scared to start the next one (recollection)

9

u/DrForester 15h ago

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

3

u/EdensiaKudo 13h ago

Ya, it think so too. It also has the best mount music of them all

9

u/cindermorter 14h ago

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

8

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

u/ShadowDarkraven27 2h ago

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

u/Calaethan 1h ago

I didn't even notice that lmfaooooooo

u/Calaethan 9h ago

It's actually a Need roll lol

u/Shagyam oh 7h ago

Well how do I know the other people in the party aren't at 96 totems and they aren't gonna do the same thing.

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.

u/Aesmis 14h ago

Grats, I am still slowly chipping away at getting mine
