Suggestion Reduce cost/ increase gain of riding points

[Kazunokun]

So, i play ranger in a rather specific way, wich makes it neccessary for me to Level a couple dragon Mount skills, but its so hard to get dragon riding points to the point where it is not funny anymore. Just to get the last Level of my razorspine Mount buff i would need to get over 50k riding points, wich would be the equivalent to attacking yourself over a thousand Times in qualification round of dragon arena for just 1 level, and even if you went first place in the monthly leaderboard it would only be 10k per month, wich would mean to wait 5 months for 1 level, wich already is an unrealistic scenariao for almost all players. Im not asking to up it by much, i just dont want to spend over 20 hrs in dragon arena just attacking myself like i did on eu again.

So, i was just calculating a bit just now because i was bored and i just wanted to put into perspective how ridiculously hard it is to get dragon riding points if you focus on monted combat a lot (in other words i'm not just wanting to cry and say "seiichi pls fix", just wanted to put it all into some context). I personally need to level 4 high cost mounted skills (there are cheap ones and expensive ones) and i put an average of 40k per level (wich is rather low balled) so 4 times 4 levels (since skills start at 1, so you only need 4 levels) and we arrive at 16*40.000=640.000 Now the interesting question becomes how long would it take to farm 640k riding points. Well, it takes a while, lets just say that. The most effective way to farm riding points would be farming juno galery as the dungeon is bugged i guess? so it gives the usual 90 rp 2 times for some reason, so you do 6 runs of that per day to arrive at your 1k cap for riding points for your level. They you farm it with 2 alts to get your 500 riding points for supporting lower leveld players. So 1.5k a day for that. Then lets pretend like we're the strongest Arena player like no one ever was and we get 10k a month + 6.666 because of the quarter rewards, so 16.6k per month for arena basicly. then we just take our daily 1.5k from juno times 30 to get how much we get per month from that, wich would be 45k, then we add that to our 16.6k a month and we arrive at 61.6k a month. then we devide 640k by 61.6k and the end conclusion is...:

it takes us 10.3 MONTHS to get 4 high cost mounted combat skills to level 5. Just wanted to put this in tangable terms as sopme people were complaining about me complaining about this and saying its not neccesary to change and that you would get enough. this is not a good place to be balance wise imo.

The number needed is rather absurd, to be honest. Maybe up the maximum number of mount point per day + per dungeon ? Or if we are indeed on our dragon we are able to gain dragon riding points (It is mount skill points after all)

What is the difference between a lvl 1 and a lvl 4 mount skill ?

lvl 5 is just more dmg or higher buffs. i calculated 4 because the skills start off at1 so you only need to level it 4 times

You can also get them from encrypted chests, you get 100 riding points per 1 and you can trade the item to different chars, that's how I'll get riding points for ranger without doing dungeons and stuff. So that could help a little, plus the other rewards.
But that's still way too many, I always thought especially the PVE riding skills had insane requirements so I agree 100%.

yeah, thats absolutely true, farming the dropset is a good middle road, but on this Server i feel like its almost never worth the time Investment singe people dont buy thouse in this Server because there are already so many drop buffs. Then once you cleared all the Spots they have a 12hr respawn time, so in optimal conditions and only you farming (wich as far as i can tell is the Problem atm, idk if it cleared up by now in terms of people) you probably get 2k a day or something, wich is already unlikely because most people dont know the Spots in thadrea and sitheran especially and the wiki is incomplete on it. But its a good Balance between farming Gold and riding points, i do agree on that, i just feel like its too big of a time Investment just for riding points.and its sad that the set isnt worth shi here.
