Bestiary?

Does anyone else think that having a Bestiary would be cool? :)
Have stuff like the species make-up kinda thing, like from FFXIII
Maybe the number you've killed of each type?
Maybe even, if you kill enough of a certain type, that you get bonuses, like increased drop rate for items? :)

i think it would be interesting, but would make farming too easy if you got a bonus drop rate. could you imagine farming snurble tufts and fleece? megalocrab legs? it wouldnt help the market for them, but it would deminish their value. they might not even sell after so long because you would get more with just a little bit of time.

aside from the +drop rate, i think it would be a great idea, getting an achievement at 25%, 50%, 75%, then 100% in the main portion(what we have now), but that would be flawed by expansions, so it would be best to have it by area. this way there would be no conflict with 100% completion, then having an area added and keeping that 100%.

Well most of the drops can be got from retainer ventures, and it would be welcome to get a boost for farming items :P
Maybe have like a sepcial rare item that you have to have killed 100 or something of a certain creature to get a drop rate of like 1%
for example, kill 500 of a Ixali Watchwolf and you'd get a 2% chance to get something like an unbreakable wolf fang, that can only be used in lv 50+ recipes?

And yeah an achievement by area, like the hunts. They could maybe be like ranked as well? So a lv1 nutmuncher marmot would be rank D, going up to rank A/S

I would love a Bestiary to fill up 100%. That's like hunts but more fun.

I such a horrendous horder so would be amazing to have something to horde that doesn't require filling up my retainer's inventories haha

I LOVE THIS IDEA.

How do we get the attention of the gods? :P

Thumbs up for this idea!

I believe SE has responded to this request before with a "under consideration" (ages ago). I'd like to see item drops in the log and locations, like a gathering log- would be very helpful to figure out where to mop an area up.

Could probably bring the hunting log into a similar area depending on interface design. In terms of rewards I'm thinking of FFX you could have a beastiary hunting collesium (also read in the article: battle arena), could link a Beastmaster Job storyline into that content too XD. Finally I think you could depending on how the card system works make hunting/clearing bestiary monsters for triad/tetra cards a possibility.

Careful with drop rate increases though, unless it is strictly for items SE wants to not have value.

honestly, i think its one of the best things ive heard being suggested, for several reasons. 1)it is something that has already been in FF for a while 2) it wouldnt take too long to find a way to implement it, by region, kepping things like hunt marks and fates a separate category, just in case they add to those. 3) they can offer rewards upon completion even if it is just a title, it is one i would gladly work for.

would it take some time to find a way to make it a possibility and to make it to where it can continue to grow, like the game, definitely, but it would be a great addition.

I'm so glad that this has been met with such great response :D Really gives me confidence that we might see it appear soon :D lol

Give the original thread from 1.0 a gander if you want to see what the developers thought.

But they seem to care about other things these days.

Given how boring is the trash in this game, waste of resources.

I vote for this! I'd buy a copy too if it was released as an actual book.
I still miss the Eorzean Cook Book idea now that I think about it q.q
