please make hunt log reward ring more relevant

as this game progresses, the item level creeps up slowly along with it
now, item level 100 gear is the most readily available, with most players being at least i87

now, back when this game first came out, i imagine a level 55 ring was pretty nice, maybe even bis, but as the gear sold in mor dona, and available to players in general increases more and more, it really devalues the ring

why is it that, for what amounts to basically 4 times the time spent and 2 times the effort, we get something that is 45 levels lower?

SE, please either change the master class rings to at least 70, or give us the ability to upgrade them to higher levels

like what if each time you got a level up on your relic weapon, you could go back to jhonathas and get it upgraded?

becuase, as it stands, its really quite irrelevant for anything other than fresh 50s, and even then, takes more time to get than its worth unless you actually spent time finishing the log before reaching 50

You have identified why this ring is in the game, it is there for fresh 50's. Complete the hunting log whilst leveling up and get a bonus item at the end. Benefit from the bonus exp from hunting log when leveling up as well. I am unsure why this ring needs to be increased in ilvl, it is serving its purpose quite adequately at the moment.

Old gear will always become irrelevant at some point in a game thats about vertical progression.

You could say that about a LOT of the items found here -> http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ac...Item%20Rewards

The Luminary crafting/gathering main hand tools are just their normal i55 ones that are even MORE time consuming to get for a gear wear buff

The Paragon's Gown you need to do 3k fates just to get that, and it's not very good of an item

Crimson Standard Earring gives CP +32 and spiritbond gain +1, while pretty decent for crafting classes, you need to do 500 provisioning missions, and you'd have to do then every day for a few months just to get one

The Grand Company Escutcheon for all 3 cities, you need to earn a total of 500,000 seals just to get one, and it's level 1 and ilvl 6


Some items are just got people to go after to show how dedicated they are, some exist just to help someone's first time hitting level 50 (The hunting log rings), and only a few of the achievement items are actually good (Ironworks Fishing Rod, ilvl 80, collect 106 types of big fish), so I dunno why they'd 'need' to increase their ilvls/stats

to make the effort even remotely practical
if its such a grande feat, why must it be so vastly outclassed?

as it stands currently, its barely even worth getting for fresh 50s
