Today I finally got the little and sweet penguin prince minion in FFXIV. Now I want to give you a short overview on how to get it.
The Achievement:
The minion is a reward obtained through the achievement "The Road of Verminion I" which you can find under Character > Gold Saucer (its the last one on the page). To complete the achievement you have to get get a "double digit" (means 10 or higher) victory rate in 4 different Lord of Verminion tournaments.
Completing the Achievement:
First register for a Lord of Verminion tournament which is held every week. To join the tournament you have to talk to the Tournament Recordkeeper which you can find in the Minion Square in Gold Saucer at position 7,7. She also tells you everything about the upcoming tournaments and their rules.
The rules in the last tournaments were something like "only puppets" which means you are only allowed to use puppets in the fight or "70 max defense" which means you are not allowed to use minions with a higher defense then 70.
After registering for a tournament you have to win a minimum of 10 fight in the time the tournament is open (normally the tournaments are open for 4 - 5 days).
How to win fights in a tournament:
First of all you have to know that you are only allowed to do 30 fights in a tournament phase. That means if you already loss 21 fights you are not able to get the 10 victories for the achievement in that current tournament and you have to wait for the next tournament to begin.
Before you start to fight in a tournament try to do some normal fights to practice and create your own winning strategy. Check out which rules the current tournament contains and select some minions which suit your strategy and the rules but don't forget to use different minions depending on your opponents strategy which means you should have minions from different groups (puppet, critter, monster and gadget).
If you think you are ready you can start to do the tournament fights. Since the Lord of Verminion fights are not that famous you should try to fight in the prime time of your server to get as many different opponents as possible. If you always get the same opponent and have problems to win against him try it at a different time.
How long does it take?
If you have no problems to get your 10 victories in a tournament it takes 4 weeks to complete the achievement since you have to get the 10 victories in 4 different tournaments. After the tournament is over and you got 10 victories the progress is added to your achievement.
At the end of your 4th successful tournament you get the achievement and are able to get your pet from the "Master of the Rolls" e.g. Jonathas at 10,6 in Gridania.
Now I would like to show you my own little Penguin Prince :) ...He is so fluffy...
I just discovered that he sometimes slides on his belly if he follows you....so cute...<3
Check it out in my video at 0:26 :)
Good luck with the tournament fights and have fun with your little minion.
