Title: Guaranteed T10 Mythical Horse upgrade for Master+ trainers.
Family Name: Yorivel

Region (NA/EU): EU

Since the current system of getting a Mythical horse is based upon a very low chance to actually get one, it timegates a lot of trainers who have devoted themselves to that lifeskill from getting a T10 horse. Attempts as of late are getting way more expensive, about a year ago an average T10 attempt used to cost around 100-200m silver depending on what materials you grinded yourself. I think a new option should be added for the more experienced trainers so that they can have a way to basically get a guaranteed upgrade to a T10 horse.

My idea would be (up for discussion), since the chance to get a T10 is 3%, the statistical average amount of taps is around 33-34 attempts. Once a trainer gets through that average and goes beyond that, it would be great if there was a new path that would essentially require to gather enough materials for 33 attempts, combine them into one and basically get the T10 you desire. This option should only be available after a certain level of training (up for discussion) so that it will actually reward those who pick up this lifeskill and decide to level it up.

It used to be on the table at some point during the development process...

But I don't think PA thinks horse trainers deserve more than a pat on the shoulder for all the electricity they consume to keep the average game population high in the charts :D So we're just getting dumped on.

Thing is, I'm not really pointing at any horse trainer, this is supposed to be an option for high level horse trainers to basically "reward" them for leveling up this lifeskill. You'd still need to train horses and afk to get the mats necessary (for the guaranteed attempt) but you actually have a shot at getting a T10 instead of going over 100+ attempts and waiting for years on end, while lower level trainers can get one within the first 10 attempts (nothing wrong with that, it is what it is).

I'm just salty over the fact that the lifeskilling itself has literally no impact on T9+ acquisition. A beginner 1 has the same chances as a Guru 50. Capture hundreds of horses, spend lots of kWh on afk training and go failing 30 attempts at T9. Have random newbie get 2 T9s in less than 10 total attempts. Good luck feeling good about your mastery :D

T10 is even worse, now that I know at some point PA devs did think to reward horse trainers with a guaranteed awakening mechanic.

It would also be okay if at Master 1 + it could increase chance per level by 0.15% so in the end it if you are Guru 50 that would be 30 Master + 50 Guru so 80*0.15% for a 12% extra chance putting it around 15%. Still rare but inching a bit to better % with big investment.

Honestly, this actually doesn't sound bad at all... It can be a decent motive for those who want to reach Guru+ training.

Horse training and awakening the only thing in game that is punished.  For real...and we prob hav spent the most money on rerolls...lately my t9s have been going on 30 plus stacks, wtf is going on?

It's 1 in 33 as a way to write the percentage but with the probability count, you need 76 tries to get to 90% chance of getting it.

My issue is that with no failstacks, we get time gated into one try each one and a half weeks or so, while with T9 you can just buy every single mat from the market and just keep trying.

I don't think there should be a guaranteed method, as I'm sure PA doesn't want every second person to have a Mythical like we do these days for Dreams. I'm sure most of us don't want that either, Mythical is basically the end-goal of many Trainers, more or less. They should be rare (granted, that's a balance that's very hard to achieve in an mmo).

However, perhaps our Training Level could somehow be factored in and improve our chances of Mythical Awakening? Or alternatively perhaps out Training Level could unlock additional daily/weekly quests to increase our acquisition of materials (namely feathers) for Mythical Awakening? And - most importantly - have these quests related to horse training, not gathering or fighting or something else ridiculous that has no bearing on taming or training horses.

Getting a mythical has nothing to do with training. It's end-goal for anyone. Sure you get a few more fern roots as a trainer, but that's it. The actual process of getting the horse is not influenced. Just like the mastery has no weight in obtaining a dream horse. It stops at T8. This just can't be considered fair, now, can it?
