Hey, I've been selling all my AD for zen and now have 3k. Would've had more but spent a month on VIP to try it out. I've been thinking about the
* 2k Power
* 2K Crit
* 1+1k Power+crit

I can't decide. I main a CW but have a SW alt (meh) and working on a 69 TR.

Should I buy a mount or buy something else?. I don't have enough for a mount yet but hoping another 15% coupon drops. If not I should be at 3500zen in maybe 4-5 days

    The purple shadow wolf also has wanderers fortune and it adds 2000 AP.

    Making it possibly one of the most useful purple mounts in the store. But Im unsure if its available all the time or if you can only get it durning its CTA event.

    Seems to depend on platform. On PC, it's only enabled during the CTA but XBox players tell me they can buy it now. Their shop rotates everything though. And I have no clue how PS4 merchandising is handled.

    Very useful mount though, I agree.

    Instead of min-maxing stats, first consider this:

    Do you have a 110% mount already?
    Do you have an account-wide mount already?

    If the answer to either one of those questions is NO - especially if that's the answer to both - then DO buy a zen store purple mount. You might also consider either Guardian or Feywild packs, both provide 110% account-wide mounts. Either way, an epic account-wide mount is one of the best purchases you can make - you will thank yourself every time you make a new toon that you never have to run in slow-mo ever again.

    Within this, consider your options, but discount any suggestions that are not getting you an account-wide 110% mount. You might consider that later on, since with the Mount system, you can mix and match powers, but your priority shouldn't be min/maxing right now, it should be making sure you have an account-wide 110% speed mount. Those only come from the Zen store, or these packs: Hero of the North, Guardian, Feywild.

    I don't have a epic mount. Only the blue tiger and the awful horses. I would be buying from the Zen store and it must be account wide since there's no way I' spending 600k+ AD for a mount only 1 person can use.

    Zen only. Account wide

    All Zen mounts are account-wide, you have no worries there.

    Yeah the feywild pack is on my personal wishlist for that and the slyph, plus it has a few other cool goddies in there so ya know there's that too.

    I only wish there were more sources of account wide bags, i'd even pay 2-3 times base price for a bag to get it as a BoP account wide unlock.
    Paingiver is not an acurratte or Useful measure of your actual sustained damage output, (i.e DPS), in various ways it lies. For a true idea use ACT. Link below:

    I agree with Kvet. I bought a yeth hound forever ago. I now have 8 characters riding one. And after the changes they made all of them get a boost to deflection.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    Coupon dropped. 15%. Decided to go with the Howler.

    - Looked cooler.
    - 2 of 3 characters (SW and CW) are more crit. My TR will benefit but not as much.

    Now, any Insig I should really get?
    edit: Nvm, only 2 insig bonuses :(

    yep, use the coupon, i got clydedale.
  • kvetkvet Member, NW M9 Playtest Posts: 2,700 Arc User
    Oh, the howler. My personal favorite of all the zen store mounts. I have never gotten one - have the packs from way back and now ride a starry panther with powers and speed from other mounts - but if I had bought a mount from the zen store, it would be that one. Good choice!

    Good choice. and your TR will DEFINITELY benefit from crit, especially once you (easily) get your arpen up to 60% RI. My main is TR and i went with the Howler because i needed crit...you will too :p

    Meh... You should have waited for Black Friday sale or something if you could and get 2 mounts instead :P

    During the launch of Mod 4/5 they gave an 80% off on mounts but I didn't have any money then and couldn't buy a single mount :P
