Regardless of the numerous hours I’ve pumped into Ultimate Fable 14 through the years, I believe myself an informal participant. I don’t take on hardcore endgame content material, and I’m by no means probably the most well-versed in the most productive methods or mechanics—heck I slightly have in mind tasks a month later— and slightly frankly, no matter I do, I die. So much.
One approach to save face is to take on content material on my lonesome. Believe me, it’s higher for either one of us that you simply don’t need to endure via my Bard consuming grime each 5 mins. That’s why, regardless of pals providing to lend a hand me with the Monster Hunter collab responsibility, The Nice Hunt (Excessive), so I may just bag myself a Rathalos mount and Poogie minion, I haven’t taken them up at the be offering.

And it’s no longer even the gameplay I’m frightened about, it’s Prishe’s design.
The wonderful thing about FF14 is that just about the whole thing turns into soloable in the end, equipped you’re keen to attend. You’ll be able to use the Unrestricted Celebration choice to enter tasks at your precise stage with none restrictions on birthday celebration dimension or makeup. Each time a variety launches that will increase your stage and merchandise stage, it makes older content material that a lot more straightforward to maintain, and in the end, solo.
The Nice Hunt (Excessive) used to be added in Patch 4.3, the entire long ago in 2018. I attempted and failed it on the time, and promptly gave up, saving time and face. Whilst different avid gamers whizzed round on their Rathalos mounts and I appeared on with envy, I didn’t fancy making an attempt that gruelling Trial once more. Six years later, and I’ve realised I will solo this responsibility now.
It should were soloable for slightly a while, as I’ve discovered it slightly simple to finish on my failBard, this means that way more professional avid gamers would were doing this ages in the past.
Once in a while I’ll take a look at some outdated responsibility on my lonesome, usually a Trial or Raid, to look if I will snag no matter sweets it could yield all alone, and I’m at all times glad to find I will. In addition to the enjoyment of having my palms on no matter mount/minion/praise I sought after so badly, it’s nearly a reduction to get the content material finished and checked off. Extra importantly, it’s a reduction to do it with out being a humiliation within the procedure.
Having spent a ways too lengthy grinding The Nice Hunt (Excessive) and but to look the Rathalos mount drop, I will best believe how horrendous it will were if pals of mine have been pressured to undergo me making an attempt this years in the past. It’s painful sufficient to grind content material with garbage RNG odds, but it surely’s such a lot worse when some muppet helps to keep screwing up makes an attempt by means of death at all times.
What’s much more daft is that I don’t even know why I struggled with this up to I did when it used to be new. Yeah, you’re restricted to 3 deaths and best ten potions to heal with, Monster Hunter taste, and that used to be undoubtedly a unique curveball for FF14 avid gamers to regulate to. However the mechanics are easy, Rathalos follows the similar patterns, and it’s no longer that arduous to stick out of the trail of dying. So how did I mess this up so badly?
Once I hit content material I combat with, I usually pass considered one of two tactics. Sheer stubbornness to proceed till it’s finished or I’m fast to give up. The deciding issue has a tendency to be whether or not I’m simply anxious myself or others by means of proceeding on or no longer, and given this could have completely frustrated others, that’s most probably why I threw the towel in so rapid. In all probability this will have to be a lesson to forestall giving up so quickly.
I’ve misplaced depend of ways time and again I’ve run The Nice Hunt (Excessive) this week. I nonetheless haven’t gained the mount but. I’ve best observed two Treasure Coffers drop in that point because the RNG is terrible, however I no less than controlled to get my Poogie minion. I didn’t realise simply how unhealthy the drop charges have been in the beginning, so I haven’t actually been bothering to assault the tail to get a assured Rathalos Scale+ each and every time. Silly me. If I save up 50 Rathalos Scale+, I will merely acquire the mount from an NPC. As I believed the mount would simply drop inside 50 runs, it didn’t appear value bothering with the tail. I used to be incorrect, obviously.
I’ll persevere and get my Rathalos mount a method or any other, expectantly, quicker slightly than later. Whilst I like with the ability to solo content material, the disadvantage is that you haven’t any one to commiserate with in regards to the terrible RNG. One upside is you’re best burning via tasks for your self. I will’t believe operating this for more than one folks, aiming to get a mount for everybody for your birthday celebration. Absolute hell. It’s unhealthy sufficient for simply me, I may get started seeing Rathalos in my sleep at this fee.
