first what was said:
Quote:
Q16: Are there different levels of difficulties in “The Hunt?”
A16: Yes. Some of the marks can be defeated solo by an item level 90 player and some may require a group of players to defeat. While it’s difficult to say how difficult they will be, we will be preparing a variety of hunts. Please stay tuned!
this two together make it look weird, i means, if it's hard for ask an ilevel 90 player (or group) for do it, why do we get stuff buy with mytho (i90). i means, what will be the point to do this hunt for?Quote:
Q21: What kind of rewards will we be able to obtain through “The Hunt?”
A21: You will be able to trade-in allied marks (points obtained by defeating marks) for items such as armor that is currently traded for Mythology tomestones, unique items that can only be obtained from this content, and alexandrites which is required for upgrading your Animus weapon into a Novus weapon.
it's nice to add content outside raid, but why don't it deserve a better reward since it ask i90 player for finish the harder tier?
anyway, outside this small trouble i'm excited about it and you?

I'm guessing the level of difficulty will basically go from the level 50 solo treasure hunts to beyond the level 50 group treasure hunts. I don't imagine too many people will want mythology gear since there seem to be exclusive things to buy, but whatever.

I guess it's just an alternative to myth spending. If someone wants to gear alt jobs or still needs their myth for books, they can use marks instead. Depends on what the mark-exclusive items are though.

It's kind of like the "pink" armor you occasionally get from treasure maps. As treasure maps can be easily downed by people in perhaps a position to actually want the "pink" gear, for these new hunts, i90 myth gear are the new "pinks".
I just hope you can turn them in for company seals by then or something, cause they aren't very desirable... even to people that currently don't have all myth gear, there will be the new CT2 to farm anyway... -

Well with new CT coming I'd imagine its a way to retire them from being bought for tomes, but yeah I see your point , seems off saying some soloable by an Ilvl 90 with rewards being same levels.
I will wait and see, I love doing maps still and have never done it for gear drops so if hunts are similar no doubt I will do them too -

I believe it's an alternative option to gear your alt classes while completeing Animus books, so you can progress while saving thousand of myths.
And..
"unique items that can only be obtained through hunts", we don't know which items. And alexandrites aswell, which we will need to upgrade Animus to Novus. The answer was in your own quote post.Quote:

don't bring me on the atma/animus/novus stuff. it's one of the most long content of the game and it give stuff very often far less good than any raid drop and i doubt novus will change this.
anyway, the "hunt" is clearly something a la monster hunter in a way, it was possible to make something more interesting and deep... let's hope i'm wrong, but i don't have the feeling that will be the case.
from what i have understand of them goal for the game is can be see like this craft/treasure hunt/pvp/chocobo< raid it's them priority, actually they take the safe road to put everything important into raid. indeed we can argue that in a couple of month the relic will potentially be the best weapon ingame, but our stuff don't only have a weapon. we can have the best weapon of the world, if we wear bad armor and jewel it's lost.
add more hard content that are not raid oriented with decent reward for the work behind is needed actually! -

The way I read that is he said an ilevel 90 can solo but he didn't mention the ilevel of the group meaning people geared under ilevel 90 can group up. Which in that case ilevel 90 gear is a good reward.
-
05-26-2014, 06:03 AMEdelineAre you serious? you're asking what benefit would daily hunt give. You will need to hunt for alexandrites to upgrade your Animus. People can group up and gear themselves with itl90 items. People can farm itl90 gear for their alt classes without having to spend myths/hours of farming for rng drops in coils for allagan pieces while saving myths for their Animus books. This last one by the way, is one of the methods they're using to speed up the Atma into Animus step, together with increased myth drops.Quote:

Ilvl 90 gear and Alexandrites are only some of what can be obtained through this. Not to mention he never said this was the only way to get Alexandrites. It may very well be the easiest though until the patch is released no one will know for certain. And people have been asking for some sort of open world content. It may not be exactly what they had in mind but it is a start none the less. I for one am looking forward to it. I think it would be nice to have boss style content outside of instances if the difficulty is as I think it would be.

Sounds like gearing up alt jobs to me.
(of course also the alexandrites bit, which is already making me shudder due to ffxi) -
05-26-2014, 08:32 AMLitheraBesides the fact Novus level will introduce the customization, the Novus is i110 and an i110 version of many of the relics winds up being BiS short of High Allagan Weapon for their jobs.Quote:

I personally didnt play ff xi but I dont care how bad alexandrite farming is, if its the next step to progressing my relic I look forward to it.

05-26-2014, 01:48 PMFelisHow I understand it, you earn mark from the hunts and with the marks you buy stuff. If you don't need myth gear for your alts, buy something else like Alexandrite for your Novus.Quote:
