澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Square Enix has unveiled a limited-time collaboration campaign with boba tea chain Gong cha and the event's adorable reward - a mount that scalper🧸s are already selling for over $100 online.

Amid 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:Final Fantasy 14 Dawntrail's new content, a Shadowbringers-themed mo🦄unt is back in the limelight thanks to a collab campaign between the MMO and a global tea franchise. As detailed in Square's regarding the event, "Three collaboration drinks inspired by FF14 characters wil🅺l be available during the promotion period." Anyone who purchases three of the beverages in "a single transaction" gets a code for the King Porxie mount.

"It's roughly 15-20 dollars for three drinks to get your mount," the post explains - a price that's far lower than the🍒 $100-$150 or so scalpers are asking to get per code online. Highlights of advertised Porxie King listings include terms like "EXTREMELY RARE" and "LIMITED," likely to grab dedicated players' att🌃ention for quick money. Fans commenting on the post also point out that they've been unable to get the necessary three drinks due to scalping.

One says they wit♒nessed someone buy a whopping 48 drinks "only to ceremoniously dump all of them in the trash the second they got them and walk off with 16 mount codes." Other commenters express hope that the Porxie King "comes up later" elsewhere for purchase like the Mog Station as they don't live near a Gong cha shop. Sadly, I don't either - but I'm not about to drop a plane ticket's worth of 🎐money on a mount no matter how much I want it.

Final Fantasy 14: Dawntrail's new raid ranked among the MMO's best as fans praise its "neat twists on mechanics" and "amazing f***ing music"
