Thread: Hunting Log ARR ~ 2.0

Hoping as well, that it is like FF12, and not just a simple bestiary book will mob info. Hoping that a Hunters Guild is also somewhere with notice board (like in monster hunter) to get you next mission. It could also lead up to a user unlocking BeastMaster as a side bonus. But still not taking away the primary focus of the Hunters Guild.

Make it happen Yoshi.

What they drop and, importantly imo, how often they drop it. For me, drop rates influenced where farming was most efficiently done, which was something worth wiki-ing if you intended a six-hour binge.

And, from that, the Hunting Log needs to be searchable by items dropped, so that can be compared reasonably quickly.

I'm all for drops only showing if you've personally received them and the drop rates listed being actual representations of the loot you've received, rather than the actual figure.

I would love to see this to and if they DID do this it would be the first time and MMO actually published their drop rates for any NPC from within a game!

I'm not sure they will go that far though. Sure the detail we are talking about in the Hunting/Beastiary log is the same. And from what we have seen in the videos of gathering they show what you can loot from the harvesting/gathering node.

Actually showing drop rates and what it drops seems like a bit much! However, if they only show the information after you discover it may not be to bad. If they do add it I will be extremely surprised!

Go at 3:00. The mouse goes down right at the mini-menu, over the "personal logs" button, and brings up a list with "Gathering Log" and "Crafting Log".
The crafting log is shown to be a log with recipes and details about them, with a "done" mark on stuff that you've already crafted once it seems. I'm thinking of the hunting log something along these lines. It will be added next to the gathering and crafting log, and will hold information of all the mobs for your level range, maybe details of what they drop or their habitat, and a mark checking if you're ever killed them at least once.

Opinions?

I think your spot on! That was exactly what what I was hinting at, except you one up'ed me by providing an example! Kudos!
