New storyline quests for jobs.

[Kristal]

If this happens, it needs to be done like the original Maat fights where it is a beast and you feel like you really accomplished something by doing it. Capped skills, knowledge of the job (no aby 99's flying through this fight), and solo (no subjob maybe just like the original Maat fight?) is an absolute must to beat it. I wanna hear some whining about how hard it is!!!!

Maybe as a secondary bonus (outside of JA/WS/Spell) a cool house decoration for your MH for bragging rights as well. they could also give a job specific bonus (like the mog house aura) to the job when you have it set as the main job Examples:

DRG: Wyvern Perch - when in your MH, your Wyvern will be sitting on perch and maybe fly off it a little. Bonus to wyvern HP or jump damage bonus

SAM: Katana Stand - traditional 3 katana set (maybe skinned to look like Tenzens Pheonix?) on a stand. Bonus to Zanshin rate/damage

PUP: Automaton Display Stand - Your automaton will be displayed in your MH. Bonus to Auto stats/accuracies

MNK: Zen Shrine - a small shrine with burning incense and a bell (that rings?) to help center Chi. Bonus to counter/kick rates and damage

SCH: Adventurers Chronicles - Book on a stand that allows the player to watch any CS's they have experienced from their MH (maybe change their title?). Bonus to white/black magic skills or form/storm bounses.

BRD: Phonograph - A record player that allows you to pick and play from a selection of FFXI music in your MH. Bonus to all musical skill ratings (why they only have C skill ratings in all music is beyond me).

SMN: Astral Projector - a small projector (think like a small hologram) that cycles through your available summons (avatars/spirits). Bonus to recast delay/elemental siphon/perp cost.

These are just a few I came up with real quick. I think that beating a fight like this is the equal to capping out a craft as much as it needs to have something to show off your accomplishments!!

SCH one is probably not possible. The menu alone would probably break the game.
BRD one is already in the game, except you get a random song rather then a chosen on.

[Karbuncle]

THF: Burglar's Tools - Steal, Mug and Despoil +1.

(Mug+1 adds 1 Gil mugged)

Because you know, THF Can never get anything worthwhile, or FFXI as we know it would implode backwards.

But on a serious note, I really like that idea. Wyvern Item needs to be changed, as, a quick search of FFXIAH will tell you, Wyvern Perch is the name of a Staff. However, the idea of this is all really nice. And that being, Job Specific/Oriented Furniture.

Also, there is already a "Sword display set" - its a Smithing(?) Crafting recipe. - And a BRD Phonograph, Its a player of some sort, Got it with some book or Vana'fest or something.

P.S - BRD has a C in skill because when using an Instrument, It combined both Singing + Wind/String skill together for your total M.acc - So they technically have an "S" Rank, well beyond normal A+.

[Jackastheripper]

[Ordoric]

ive wanted crisongrimore for a long ass time

[Ophannus]

Any plans or updates to this? It's been almost 4 years. Would be refreshing to have more job quests that give job specific rewards like a special ability or a spell or piece of very good job specific equipment.

[Crevox]

There's far too many jobs. In effect they would be creating a lot of content that not everyone would see. Not everyone plays something like PUP for example, and creating an entire questline just for PUP would be a piece of content that only a fraction of the players would ever see. With how many jobs there are, there will be a lot of this.

The development team would better spend their efforts on content that everyone can enjoy, not content that only specific jobs can enjoy. And, yes, before you say something like "but most jobs can't participate in end game", working on balancing the jobs is included in things that they should better spend their time on.

[Arciel]

i think this is not a bad idea..

the dev team can spend time working on battle content fine, but they also know that content needs to be made to cater to those who follow the lore and who might actually like more story, or those who RP.

I think a continuation of the AF stories would be a nice touch.. because the games been out for 12 years and i think people forget how much lore there was behind each job. For old world jobs, it'd be a nice way to go back and recall all the NPC heroes from the quest lines.. and would give more significance to players who value their Trust npcs.

If they take a page from SoA af quests, then it should also follow after G5 fight for ToA/WotG jobs.. requiring more players to do somewhat older but still fascinatingly good content for story.
