I am currently working on clearing different levequests for achievements and completionism's sake, and it frustrates me to no end that I have to pick the same leves over and over because the ones I HAVE NOT yet completed refuse to show up whenever the issuing NPC's list refreshes. I frequently have to waste 10+ leves just to get ONE specific leve to show up, which means I am constantly short on leve allowances.
I genuinely don't understand this design choice. It serves no purpose, aside from MAYBE slowing down people from burning through content - and even then this is 100 % luck-based, meaning someone who picks up 4 leves, completes them and go back to the npc to find 1 new leve they missed, clear that one and go back to the npc a second time will blaze through the content just as fast as someone who picks up ALL 5 of an npc's available leves and turn them in all at once.
I know this is a very niche complaint, but I do think this is an improvement that would help other completionists like me immensely.

03-06-2021, 09:49 AMKamatsuTo get around this issue - pick up the 2-3 displayed leve's, then complete 1 of them, but do not hand it in. Go back to the leve questgiver, and the other hidden leve(s) will be there. No need to keep doing the same leve's over and over to get to the hidden one(s).Quote:

Once you hit SB & ShB however, you only have 3 leve's per level for both Gathering & Crafting (and no combat leve's), and all 3 display from the start.
I doubt they'll go back to ARR & HW to fix this, but I do wish they did. It's an annoyance every time I want to do gathering/crafting leve's in ARR/HW to have to get 2-3, complete 1, pick up the remaining 1-2... just so I can get them all. pfft. -

It's kind of nice in a design thought that there isn't way too many at once, to overwhelm players, and may also help with justifying the high or low rewards of certain leve (if they are % reveal based), but certainly I had this issue when doing one of the relics too. Was quite annoying. Perhaps there is some notification on the total number of leve quests the npc has and each leve quest you do is permanently revealed. Such that it doesn't take up a slot in the sense of what is shown (so if there was 4 leve quest, 3 shown, therefore 1 hidden, by simply doing 1 you permanently reveal that 1 you did but also because only 1 was left hidden it is now always showing up in the list as available).
Also as a huge aside but I feel lines up with this idea well, perhaps immensely boost the first time reward to these quests. Such that players then kind of go around and do each leve quest at least once. Some can be one time rewards (before moving back to more generic rewards), or perhaps larger rewards for finishing an npc's leve(s) or an entire areas (all the leve of limsa down, gain a cute little captain jack sparrow sail boat mount lol (the one he rides on the mast as it sinks into the harbor in the first movie)).
