My Frontline grind is over! For now! Still trying to decide if I want to do Onsal Hakair every 4 days or not.

Only need about 17 or 18 wins for my Red Frontlines mount. Then it's back to Zadnor for me, and then Onsal Hakair every 4 days.

Thank you! Hopefully I didn't miss the boat on the resistance mounts, I really want those. After I get my red frontline mount I'm gonna deep dive into the resistance stuff to hopefully grind out those mounts. And if I can get those, well, I might just spend the rest of the time up to Endwalker grinding out the Pteranodon. lol

Also the Sage Job icon is being changed:

How long did it take to max out all classes?

I usually spend the first several months of an expansion leveling everything up to max, then I spend several months leveling the crafters and gatherers.

Got like 6 Onsal wins today :D I think my play is, get my Shatter mount while working on the 100/200 general wins mounts. Once I get all 3 of those, do Onsal when it's up, but focus on other things on other days, like Zadnor mounts. Then whatever I get first, I'll focus on the ones I still need, then also work on Hidden Gorge when it's up. I have plenty of time before Endwalker, I think I can make this work!

Some changes to housing coming
New wards will implement a lottery system. You pay a deposit to enter the lottery, and if you win you get to buy a plot. Also, new wards will be designated either personal housing, or FC housing.

Oh snap I didn't even realize the 14-hour broadcast started tonight.

Benchmark trailer for Endwalker is out! Might contain some spoilers! But if you're new to the game some of this stuff might not mean anything to you, but watch at your own risk I guess!

You get 2 free retainers, and also your Chocobo has a saddlebag

Nintendo Network ID: papercups
3DS FC: 4124 5916 9925

Oh also they used to give out some mounts and other things like minions and glams for subscribing for a certain number of days. They don't do that anymore, but you can still get all those old subscription rewards! As you complete achievements, Jonathas in Old Gridania will give you achievement medals. You can then spend the medals at Jonaths for those old rewards. Also if you get an award from an achievement, like a mount, or a glamour or minion or whatever, you just click the item in the achievement menu to claim it.

You're going to get several free mounts just playing the MSQ, then as you go out and do things you'll earn more mounts, or currencies to buy mounts, or get them from achievements and stuff. Then at level cap you can go back and do old raids for easy mounts lol. Also sometimes mounts drop from like dungeons or something, but that's incredibly rare, and often times when they have a moogle event up, those obscure or rare mounts become prizes from those. But they just had like 2 moogle events back to back a couple months ago, so there might not be another one for a while. Then when you get into crafting and gathering, do your Ishgard stuff. There's like 7 or 8 mounts from doing that, and you'll get TONS of crafting and gathering levels. But you can't even do that until after the Heavensward MSQ.

137 mounts, I acquired a Night Pegasus last night
These are all the obtainable, non-store-bought mounts I could theoretically acquired before Endwalker. Ones I plan to get I'll mark with a +. Ones I could get but probably won't I'll mark with a ~. And ones I won't bother I'll mark with a -

-Storm Warsteed
-Flame Warsteed
+Logistics System
+Amber Drought Chocobo (I swear I have this but FFXIV Collect says no)
+Gloria-class Airship
-Astrope (lolno)
+Aerodynamics System
~Centurio Tiger
+Managarm
-Magitek Avenger
+Safeguard System
~Juedi
+Rathalos
-Magitek Avenger A-1
+Demi-Ozma
-Triceratops
~Construct VII
~Pteranodon
+Incitatus
+Megalotragus
+Construct 14
+Cerberus
+Gabriel Mark III
+Gilded Mikoshi
+Resplendent Vessel of Ronka
+Deinonychus
+Al-iklil

So there are 17 there that I could reasonably obtain. Many more that would be incredibly difficult if not impossible. I plan on getting the Megalotragus today. On the Gilded mounts I have currently 62.5 million Gil. So I could actually buy either one, but it would be cooler to obtain both at the same time lol
Rathalos will probably be easy, just slow and annoying. And who knows if BA runs are still a thing. And I REALLY need to get back to Bozja/DR/Zadnor for those mounts. And I need somebody to accept my RAF code so I can get those two mounts. >____> The rest really are just a bit of grinding. I'm actually close on some of those Frontline mounts, but when the hell do people play Frontlines anymore lol

So yeah all in all I think I will reach the 150 mount mark before Endwalker. And I *might* end up buying a mount or two during the anniversary sale next month. But we'll see. I want to refrain from that, but man some of those mounts are dope.
