In the vast open world of Tower of Fantasy, mounts reign supreme as the most coveted collectibles. These trusty steeds allow Wanderers to gallop across the lush landscapes at breakneck speed while looking undeniably cool. But among all the mounts in the game, one stands head and shoulders above the rest in terms of rarity and prestige: the Monocross Unicorn.
Assembling this magnificent beast requires obtaining four incredibly rare parts, one of which is the Unicorn Head. According to data miners and player reports, the drop rate for the Unicorn Head is an astonishingly low 0.3%, making it one of the hardest items to acquire in Tower of Fantasy.
Only two enemies in the game‘s sprawling world have a chance to drop the Unicorn Head: Devotee Eber, located at the small stronghold southeast of the Crown Omnium Tower at coordinates 932.7, 434.0, and Devotee Noah, located at the small stronghold north of Miners‘ Camp at coordinates 339.0, 170.7.
| Devotee Name | Location | Coordinates |
|---|---|---|
| Eber | SE of Crown Omnium Tower | 932.7, 434.0 |
| Noah | N of Miners‘ Camp | 339.0, 170.7 |
To farm the Unicorn Head, players must defeat these Devotee enemies repeatedly and pray to the RNG gods for a successful drop. A dedicated player can defeat a Devotee once every minute or so, meaning it would take an average of 333 kills to get one Unicorn Head if the 0.3% drop rate is accurate.
But the Unicorn Head is only one piece of the puzzle. To fully assemble the Monocross Unicorn Mount, players also need to obtain the following parts:
- Unicorn Cyberlimbs (0.5% drop rate from world bosses)
- Unicorn Power Core (0.4% drop rate from Omnium Beacon chests)
- Unicorn Hoof (0.2% drop rate from Raid boss chests)
Assuming a player is efficiently farming all the necessary content on cooldown, it would likely take several hundred hours of playtime to get a full set of Unicorn Mount parts. For comparison, obtaining a full set of SSR gear in Tower of Fantasy takes around 40-60 hours on average, while maxing out a character‘s Awakening trait takes 120+ hours.
The immense grind required for the Unicorn Mount has made it a popular topic of discussion among Tower of Fantasy players. On the official forums and Reddit, there are countless posts from Wanderers sharing their farming progress, celebrating successful drops, and commiserating about the cruel whims of RNG.
Some players even suspect that the developers may have secretly lowered the drop rates for the Unicorn parts since launch. "I‘ve killed Eber over 1000 times and still haven‘t gotten the Unicorn Head," one frustrated player wrote on Reddit. "I‘m starting to think this mount doesn‘t really exist."
Despite the incredibly low odds and massive time investment required, many players remain determined to obtain the Unicorn Mount. According to a poll on the Tower of Fantasy Discord server, 62% of respondents said they were actively farming the Unicorn parts, while another 28% said they planned to start farming in the future.
So what drives players to pursue such an insanely rare mount? For some, it‘s the simple joy of collecting and showing off their achievements. "I love hunting for rare items in MMOs," said one player on the official forums. "The sense of accomplishment when you finally get that ultra-rare drop is unbeatable."
Others see the Unicorn Mount as a long-term goal that adds a sense of purpose to their daily grind. In a game where hitting max level and completing the story can be done relatively quickly, having aspirational items like the Unicorn Mount keeps players engaged for the long haul.
There‘s also an undeniable appeal to riding around on a creature as majestic and mythical as a unicorn. With its glimmering white coat, flowing mane, and spiraling horn, the Monocross Unicorn is a sight to behold in motion. It‘s the closest thing Tower of Fantasy has to a luxury sports car, and who doesn‘t want to cruise around in style?
At the end of the day, the decision to pursue the Unicorn Mount is a deeply personal one. Some players will happily devote hundreds of hours to the cause, while others would rather focus on more achievable goals like maxing out their weapons and characters.
If you do decide to embark on the epic quest for the Unicorn Mount, there are a few things you can do to make the grind more bearable:
Listen to podcasts or audiobooks while farming to keep your mind engaged and stave off boredom.
Farm with friends or crewmates to make the experience more socially rewarding. You can race to see who gets the Unicorn parts first!
Set small milestones for yourself, like defeating 100 Devotees per day, and reward yourself when you reach them.
Take breaks to pursue other goals, like leveling up weapons, exploring the map, or collecting other mounts. Burnout is real!
If you‘re feeling burnt out on the Unicorn grind, remember that it will always be there for you to come back to. It‘s okay to take a break or even quit the game for a while – your mental health should always come first.
And if the unthinkable happens and you finally assemble the Unicorn Mount after months of hard work? Savor that victorious feeling, take plenty of sweet screenshots, and ride off into the sunset with a massive grin on your face. You‘ve earned it.
Happy farming, Wanderers!
