Please no gear for Achievements

I don't care what I get for the achievments as long as some of them are related to filling up my BESTIARY!

Ifrit isn't a hard fight because you can do it in Santa Suits or naked, and contrary to what you said knowledge of your role has nothing to do with beating Ifrit. The only thing that matters on Ifrit is avoiding his specials. Some people kill Ifrit as a DD without even using their basic attacks.... so yeah "player skill" is not a factor.

You need ~12 DPS per DD to down Ifrit. I can easily put out 20+ with subpar/NQ unmateria'd gear, so yes obviously gear doesn't matter for Ifrit. It does however play a role in low manning things like Strongholds (stuff where mitigation and damage actually play a large factor in ease/success).

Edit: it also does matter on Ifrit at times, like for example some fights we have a few mistakes (or lag, or DC's) and have to recover from a near wipes in order to "Tim Tebow" out a victory sometimes in the last minute. In that case gear played an impact because it helped us put out the damage to pull out a last minute victory.

I kind of doubt they would put "MUST HAVE" gear in achievements anyways. i bet most gear will just be there for fun, or for showing off. If they did, i bet it would be like "Complete both Moogle and Ifirt on hyper" or something of that matter, rather then complete them 50 times each

By that logic, we should not get gear from, say, primal battles because we'll eventually run into something better in the future. We should not be awarded for those kind of achievements either, right? I say we deserve to obtain gear from hard to earn achievements.

I'm fine with some gear as rewards, but I like your ideas. :)

I thought I was gonna see Q.Q thread about people having better gear because of achievements....I actually agree with the OP, surprised to see a decent idea on the threads. A cool emote or something cosmetic and cool exlclusive mounts. No more crap weapons that will get outdated within a month and -1 inventory for yet another item.

I'm pretty sure they would reward you with something besides gear. However, realize at the moment we don't have player housing. The only way we can actually show off in game is via gear.

Emotes are also nice, but from experience in other games, they just didn't feel right. The emote most of the time has nothing really related to the accomplishment at all.

I disgree. I want items to equip from getting them.

That being said, they should be ENTIRELY cosmetic. Level 1, no stats, etc.

Give me an Aetheryte shaped wand for getting all of the camps unlocked, or a pair of shoes that look like Slippery Sykes!

If gear doesn't have significant stats and mostly just to show you are an achiever, then I see no issue with it. I am willing to bet the crown will have no significance in battle. Maybe something like a free teleport or something.

Should the Rewards Points NPC be named "Peggy"?
