Reallowing skill ups in campaign?

[Kyrial]

They could just make skillups in Campaign work the same way it did before they nerfed it, i.e. you can only get them WITHOUT allied tags. That eliminates the 'no risk' part, because there IS risk. If you take hate and die, you lose exp. And you're not getting any exp or allied notes for doing it, either.

Why bother with campaign anyway? I'm all for multi-purpose activities, but campaign doesn't seem to be of much use anymore.

Martial Master kupower + GoV = win. I went from 160 staff skill to 230, got trial staff, then 230 to 270 (broke staff), all over the course of a couple of hours during the weekend. Only got one combat skill gain buff and no Prousse Ring (was doing bat/worm page 4 in Zeruhn Mines for a shot at it, but unfortunately no Mystery Boxes:Bastok active), and that was the weekend before the auto-repeat update as well.

You gotta do Campaign to get Medal of Altana, as well as the Allied Notes to have the ability to use diffferent services in the past. An example would be if somehow a miracle happened and Fiat Lux became available in a nation's Campaign Ops. Another good example is needing the AN to ride a chocobo when you're trying to get to an area quick for magian trials (or even just porting to an area from a C.A.). I find all that to make Campaign pretty useful, if not as often as it used to be.

EDIT: When Campaign DID allow skill ups without tags on, all the monsters capped skills to Lv50. That wasn't game-breaking then, and it wouldn't be game-breaking now, considering how Zvahl Fortilaces and abyssea parties work. It would be an incentive to get Campaign going again if they allowed skill ups (even if just to Lv50's cap) when you had tags on.

I wasn't aware Fiat Lux still had any loot worth the effort.

You can earn Medal of Altana without doing a single campaign, if you complete one of the 13th quests for each of the nation storylines.
AN for teleportation (and buff) is handy, but you'd have enough after a single campaign to last a while.

You actually still have to earn those points for new medals. You only get to keep the certain medals for the corresponding nation you did the quests for.

You do not automagically obtain the medals by just completing the quests. ^^;

I wish they would do this, less because I care about Campaign at all and more because they recycled the Campaign code for WoE. If they re-allow skillups in Campaign, it'll probably also allow skillups in WoE.

Like Dragoy said, you have to earn those medals. The only thing the quests do is keep you from getting demoted past whatever medal they associate with.

Fiat Lux has okay gear, but some people are bent on completion and would like the clear for the atma, just to have it.

Chocobos from Recall points are usually about 280-350 AN, and if you don't like Campaign but like doing magian trials, a lot of your trials get done in the past from what I've experienced (Cure potency staff, INT+MAB staff, Evasion dagger). Also, the cost of teleportation from an area controlled by beastmen back to your campaign hometown can be pretty expensive, depending on where you are.

Off-topic because we can't send PMs to eachother on this board.. what's the Tactical Processor portion of your sig all about?

Did they at some point take that away from Walk of Echoes? I seem to remember, and pretty sure about it too, that I indeed did get skill upses at WoE. Granted, it has been a while since I was there if not counting the Test-Server, and seeing how they decided to change it, might be another while until I enter again (might not even happen ever).

[Byrth]

They did, in the last patch. They changed it to essentially use the campaign code (any buff hits everyone in range, etc) so now it comes with the campaign problems (no skillups).

I would love the idea of doing Campaigns while skilling up on the side.
