[dev1061] Grounds of Valour Adjustments

[Olor]

Bostaunieux oubliette is a good area for around 60s I think znc crawlers nest for the 30s I think. Just look at government zones and mobs levels if you are 5 levels or so above the mobs that's a good area to go level solo.

I'm not saying that places don't exist for these level ranges - I am saying we could use more of them. Please folks, stop assuming I haven't done my homework. Crawler's nest is no good solo in the 30s, FYI. The minimum page level is 40~44, meaning it isn't really viable to solo till around 44.

Keep in mind some of these pages are not very viable, and that pages in the range of the leech page in Bos. Oublette are doable by people at the current cap - so even if it doesn't look like there are a ton of pages for capped folks they can get exp easily on any page for level 65 and above. Lower leveled players, especially solo or in small groups, have much more difficulty around which pages they pick.

Example - you might think a level 30 player could easily do a page that is level 25-30, right? So head up to Rangemont pass! Let's go!

the problem is the 25-30 page requires you to kill an ooze. And if you are solo and not on a job that can do magic damage, well then, that page is more trouble than it is worth. You could do the 26-30 goblin page - but that has a whole host of other issues (mobs that aggro and link are not particularly awesome to solo on, and magic users are hard to pull from groups)

anyway, what I'm saying is that a few more options would be nice.

Well you know what would fix all these?? Simple, just make the "mini atma" boost available to areas outside for FoV. All problems will be solved. Everyone now have tons of choices. Simplify the trial to kill 7 crab instead of 6 crabs + 1 worm. Little things like that would rejuvenate many areas to level - and possibly bring normal 6 person party. Adding all of these to ToAU and WoTG areas would give tremendous boost as well. But alas, they are taking their sweet time - it is more important to make sure no one is getting what they need from Voidwatch, or how to make sure certain jobs are getting "balanced" and totally not needed. All those top priorities are must do!! Balancing GoV and FoV would solve all these complaints about abyssea letting lvl 30 to leech. People will still leech no matter how you do it - they will never go away - and dominion party still need 1-2 keyers no matter what.

The main problem is the majority of players just do not want to take time to learn how to play the jobs and test various ways on how they can maximize their jobs. This problem cannot be solved by limiting aby to lvl 75 or making the lvlng process tedious - this is people's problem

This right here. Adding just the Prowess and Not having to run back to the book every 5 mobs in all FoV would open up alot more places, one of the great things about GoV is the little boost you get and not having to run back to the book. if they added these to FoV people would have more options to lvl, instead of being a key person in abyssea or pay 100k/hour for exp like some people do. which if you do both you dont know how to play your job right and have no skill in it 80% of the time.

You can have repeating pages on FoV as well. Just the bonuses are not as good, nor are the buffs... and you don't get prowesses. I wish they would replace FoV books with grounds tomes honestly, but barring that I would just like to see a couple more pages targeted at lower and mid range players (Lower Delkfutt and Upper would be perfect - since we used to exp around 23 or so in parties in there before)

There is no auto-repeating option for FoV pages. They should add it just like with GoV pages, shouldnt be to hard to make it...

just shows how long its been since i've done regular FoV then. last time I did it they didn't renew

[Concerned4FFxi]

yea more lower level tombs be good.

Don't you worry Olor! The new Grounds of Valor areas we are planning to add in the next version update will include the level ranges that you have requested.

We will also make sure not to place any high level monsters near any low level content such as missions, quests, etc.

Will there be ores and logs in the caskets?

Like Inner Horutoto Ruins?
