Wing of the Goddess mission completion reward

[Sasukeuchiha]

Wing of the goddess missions need a better reward for finishing them. All the work and effort you put into it and all you basicly get is an earring most people do not want as they think abyssea stuff give a way better reward anyway. I just feel for all the time and effort you put into doing the missions the reward should be a lot better. Take rise of zilart, cop, and toau there rewards were well worth obtain and doing most the missions for when the game was level caped 75. After all the time and effort could we not see like some unlockable zone or some more insentive to actualy complete the missions.

Sure you could say nice rewards like if you finish your nation part you wont loose a campaign metal but no one will do campaign no more. The ring you get for completing the nation part no one seems to feel is worth the effort to get them when they can go threw abyssea and get better stuff. Atmas you get for completing wing of wing of the goddess no one feels are worth it ether. For an expansion that took them 3 year to complete i expect a lot more out of it then we got.

I agree, that earring isn't exactly super good for level 90. The CoP reward rings got it right, but both ToAU and WotG lacks proper reward items.

Maybe if you could choose two augments without being restricted to two different augment groups, it'd be good. Counter + regain, or regain+refresh, I could have been ok with that. The stuff in the first group is however pretty poor, in my opinion. 4 acc, racc, attack or rattack isn't exactly incredible for level 90.

I also don't see why the refresh/regain can't be active all the time. Actually, if they were always active, that might be just the buff the earring needed.

While I agree it's a lacking reward for the storyline, doing story missions isn't really about the reward, but going through the story. FFXI is plenty enthralling w/o doing any storyline, but if you want a story, that's what missions are for.
CoP was so difficult (originally) that the rewards needed to be equally epic, to give incentive when your spirits were down.
The end reward isn't incentive others redo the missions with you, so that side isn't affected.

Doesn't matter if CoP was originally more difficult. New gear should be better, not worse than earlier gear. Especially when they're competing for the same equipment slots. I'm thinking about the ToAU rewards now, which are pretty bad outside of assault/nyzul. CoP rings are however very good anywhere in the game.

ToAU rings would have been just right if the assault effects were always active, and something else was added during assault, considering they are usable at level 50. Maybe if it is a bit strong for lv50, make their stats increase as you leveled up to 75, like CoP rings.

Maybe it is just the mage in me talking, but I love my latent Refresh earring and can't wait to get one for my second character. This is an effect that you can only get on one other earring, and that earring only works in Garrison.

Yes, people are going to say that with Atmas that a one refresh a tick effect is worthless in Abyssea, but if you look at the roadmap for the next year Abyssea is not going to be the center of the universe. There will be many non-abyssea events where mages and the people they cure are going to be very grateful for every shred of MP that the mages can get.

So, if you are looking at one MP a tick when you are getting 15-20 from atmas it will seem lackluster, but when you are getting 5 MP a tick from gear alone and nothing else in any place that isn't Abyssea, that is some mighty hot stuff.

While i agree for the story but i can not get anyone to do these missions. Seems more people care about the reward then the mission so when the reward i lacking they do not even try to do the missions. Barely anyone will go passed unlocking walk of echoes in the mission because when i constantly ask people even shout people laugh they just will not do wing of the goddess missions because the rewards not worth it. When you can not even get a shout group together thats just say in my opinion pretty bad.

I was lucky enough to get the missions done as they came out, but I have to agree that while I personally don't care much about the reward, since I do missions for the story, a LOT of people only care about the rewards and just do not care one bit about the story (which makes me sad, but that's a whole other rant). This causes a problem for those of us who do care about the story, because these people who only care about rewards aren't doing the missions, and thus, can't help us with them.

I was pretty happy with my Magic. Atk. Bonus+4 Latent effect: Refresh+1 Moonshade Earring at first. It certainly beat Morion +1 for my BLM, since I'll likely never get a Novio. It would've been nice for my BLU too, if not for the fact that it doesn't work when engaged. Now that I have a Hecate's Earring, though, I only really use it on my WHM.

how many earrings give you refresh? i can't think of any other ones (outside garrison). how many earrings give you regain? i can't think of any other ones.

so honestly, the WotG reward rocks!

If it rock then how come more people do not try for it? Why do so many people say it suck and even when they get it they never use it anyway because abyssea give way better stuff people rather use anyway.

More people do not go for it because they are obsessed with Abyssea, simple as that. I, for one, do not judge a piece just by its usefulness for just one set of areas, no matter how obsessed with it people are at the moment.
