How to Obtain the Monowheel S1 Mount

The Monowheel S1 mount is available as a reward from the fight against AAC Light-heavyweight M4 (Savage). This fight, which is the fourth and final one in the Light-heavyweight tier on Savage difficulty, presents a significant challenge and makes obtaining this mount one of the most difficult achievements in the game.

In order to access it, you must first complete all the previous fights in the raid tier. Additionally, the fourth battle in every raid tier is known to be the most difficult. This particular fight involves a transition within the game, making it a strenuous encounter that can take up to 12 minutes to conquer. And even if you successfully defeat it, you will still have to compete against your party members for the mount, with the winner being determined by the highest roll.

Taking on this challenge requires proper preparation and understanding. It is suggested that you equip yourself adequately, familiarize yourself with your class, and be ready to invest significant time into comprehending the mechanics. Moreover, you will need to join a group to face these battles. While using Party Finder is a viable option, it is a gamble as you cannot guarantee the skill level of the players you will find.

Joining a static is another option, as it involves being a part of a consistent raiding group that gathers at set times to raid together. This can be advantageous as you will develop relationships with your fellow players and have a well-structured system for distributing loot. In my static, we prioritize giving the mount to the healers before the DPS, as they receive equipment from the battles first.
