[dev1036] Daily Rewards

[Selzak]

By using a "Daily Point" from the below goblins, you will be able to receive a random reward.
Port San’d Oria (I-10) Habitox
Port Bastok (I-12) Bountibox
Windurst Walls (C-14) Arbitrix
Lower Jeuno (I-6) Sweepstox
Bhaflau Thickets (J-9) Wondrix

Once you have spoken to one of the above goblins, you will be awarded a new Daily Point every Earth day at 12:00am (JST).
You will be able to select five different amounts of points that you would like to consume at once, and depending on the amount selected the reward will vary.
You can also receive daily points by trading unneeded rare items to the goblins.
(It depends on the item, but there will be some that cannot be traded.)
*When trading items, there will be a cap on the amount of daily points you can earn in a single Earth day.

*The Daily Points obtainable on the Test Server are higher than normal for testing purposes.
*The rewards obtainable on the Test Server are just samples and will differ from the actual rewards.

No idea yet on what kind of rewards we're talking about exactly, but I must say that I think this is a pretty darn good idea.

Way to kill two birds with one stone by involving unused 'rare' items too, I hope I can trade in some of my Empyrean seals.


I guess the argument here will be that "FFXI is too easy! >:|" or something along those lines. They do have to be careful with the actual reward content though. If there's anything serious it better be super rare.

Personally, I think it's a great idea. I'm all about the log-in for 2-3 hours and play a video game/accomplish things Final Fantasy XI. This just adds a new, potentially exciting element to that. Although, unlike in previous debates over things like Abyssea that are just less time-consuming...this Daily Reward system can be said to be too easy for FFXI. It's worth discussing I think!

People that did it on the test server got mats ala VW or WoE drops

Completely useless, complete waste of time if that doesn't change

I guess it's a minor update for very casual players that don't do both of the above. The really sad part is the could of copied other MMOs with a daily system and made something impressive.

I do believe they said outright that the rewards on the test server are placeholders.

Better hope so. Honestly it's a system where you just go get something for free per day, I can't imagine them giving away anything useful for so free like that unless it's a 1/1,389,488 drop rate

[Krashport]

The rare daily reward is that Flying Mount! 1/1,389,488!

SE arnt going to give away good gear on a once a day reward system. We will get stuff like flint stone stacks in the final update. C'mon guys - you know its true.

Hopefully they aren't that clueless about it.

Suggestions for what to put in there:

1 point - Stacks of consumables (food/ammo only, unique to this)
2 points - Crafting items for new etchable gear (unique to this, checking against user's crafting skills; etched slots are ◇ and ▽ on weapons, □ and ■ on armor, ● on both, using new and less ridiculously restricted evoliths). Crafted versions are white/blue-boxed versions only.
3 points - Evoliths corresponding to the five new slot types:
◇: Weapon enhancements I
DMG+5%~40%
Store TP+2~16
Delay-2%~16%
TP Bonus+10~80
TP Drain+1~8
Occasionally absorbs enemy statuses
MP Drain+2~16
HP Drain+3~24
▽: Weapon affinity enhancements
1 - Affinity +2
2 - Affinity: Damage+2 / Accuracy+3
3 - Affinity: Damage+3 / Accuracy+2
4 - Affinity +3
5 - Affinity: Damage+3 / Accuracy+4
6 - Affinity: Damage+4 / Accuracy+3
7 - Affinity +4
8 - Affinity: Damage+4 / Accuracy+4 / Cast time -8%
□: Not sure yet, but Regen+1~8 and Refresh+1~2 (switches to 2 at strength 6+) for sure.
■: Non-family-dependent stat boosts
Attack, ranged attack, critical hit damage
Accuracy, ranged accuracy, critical hit rate
Defense, enemy critical hit damage
Evasion, enemy critical hit rate
Magic attack, magic critical hit damage
Magic accuracy, magic critical hit rate
Magic defense
Magic evasion
●: Standard stat enhancements - 1~8 except...
Bonus varies by day

Yes, that's supposed to be the Brisingamen effect, scaled by evolith strength (but without the HP/MP boost).

4 points - NQ versions of armor craftable from 2-point items.
5 points - NQ versions of weapons craftable from 2-point items.

(Yeah, I know, massive case of wishful thinking, but the above is probably a good start to reworking evoliths as well. Another change would be throwing in evoliths of elements other than light, which correspond to non-2hr JAs, putting three jobs on each element except dark [which gets two].)

[Leonlionheart]

I like that idea, sounds pretty cool.

[Runespider]

Idea above is quite cool, but given the end result will probably just be something more lazy I'm guessing it could be items like seals/+2 items with stuff like alex mixed in.

Basically a system for people unable to do the current systems to be able to get gear, Alex for gil ofc.
