Guild Wars 2 Discussion. Skyscale mount mechanics (not about timegate) At this point we are aware that this is almost a legendary mount, requiring all episodes, 250 collection steps, lots of gold and at least 8 days (excluding the last 2 steps that we still don't know about). Fine.The problem is that the mount is mostly a vanity item for

Bond of Vigor shouldn't freeze it's Cooldown the moment we cling to a wall, waiting 1 minute to climb up is already a bit long, but would make it more fun to scale
The hardest steps are all in the Skyscale Lost collection and any or all of those can be skipped by using Extra Pungent Skyscale Treats which can be crafted or bought on the TP. Personally I recommend trying out each step before using the treat, because some might be easier than they seem and the treats are expensive, but the option is there if Just as important, let us place mount/vehicle skills on slots we want (like utility skills). Using key 5 for Skyscale’s dash is clunky. I’d love to be able to move Skyscale’s dash to slot 2 and descend to slot 3 so I can use keys 2 and 3 to dash and descend, respectively.Guild Wars gets a lot of things right but this particular collection misses the mark mostly because of excessive collections. I love the idea of raising my own mount and parts of this are fun. But two back to back "Easter Egg Hunts" really kicks it off wrong. The parts where you actually interact with your skyscale are what we need more of.iOUI.
