Hunt Rewards in 2.4

Due to work, I haven't been on to see how this works now, but I'm curious if anyone has had the chance to kill (with full credit) some A and/or S rank hunts.

- Any change to the amount of Allied Seals you earn? (was 20 for A, 50 for S)
- Since Mythology is abolished, do we get the same number of Soldiery tomes as we did Mythology before the patch? (was 80 for A, 200 for S)
- Since Poetics are introduced, do we get the same number of Poetics tomes as we did Soldiery before the patch?

Thanks to any who can confirm info! ^_^

I did an A rank earlier with full credit and got 20 seals and 20 soldiery. No poetics at all.

Ouch >_<

RIP Hunts, how little we knew ye.

It will still be done by people who are after specific things from that content, like the minions and stuff. It won't, however, be the kill five birds with one stone that it previously was that by doing just hunts.

This. For people grinding for Alexandrite, Soldiery gear/upgrades, etc., it'll still be a thing.

You just don't casually cap the major tomestone anymore in the process.

Many were doing hunts to help cap soldiery. That is going to change now. Hunts have been nerfed and perhaps that's not a bad thing.

Wrong. Hunts are not for alexandrite in 2.4.

In 2.3 it was 20 seals 80 myth. 80 mythx10=800 (one alex map from auriana)

in 2.4 its 20 seals and 20 soli. 20 solix10=200 (not one alex map from auriana, dungeons are much much better for alexandrite now.) Also in order to obtain soli gear dungeons are still better.

Except I believe it is still 200 seals for an Alexandrite... Hunts are still good for that.

I'm glad I got done with my novus... It's gonna be solo hard to get alexandrite now

Yeah.....and I still need 8 alexes... :/

thank god no poetics from hunts.

I'm glad that SE realized that the rewards from hunts seriously devalued all other content in the game.

So hunt is still not dead yet?

Did it? I myself don't log on daily and do stuff every minute, I appreciated the hunts as they were, I managed to get a good amount of myth and sold and allied seals for a couple hours of my time and the rest of the week I could casually run a dungeon here and there....

But not even upping the amount of soldiery rewarded was plain dumb, I can live with the idea of no poetics, but its not even worth doing hunts now.
Guess im running ST till my eyes bleed since the dungeon has been loot lockout lifted.

hunts are extremely nerfed we went from having 5-10 groups Doing them To 1-2 groups. I joined a party and we all killed our first hunt we saw the reward and everyone left.. It's sad when Such Great content Is Totally destroyed in 1 update. I thought we'd get the 80 sold and maybe 5-10 poetic but now Theres 0 point in doing them It was perfect for alexrite because 10 a class gave u 2 alexrite but now. Just idk what sqaure enix is thinking i hope they look into this soon cause its just horrible how badly nerfed it is.

Hah hah hah hah hah, so Hunt is finally dead? Nice - now everyone else can do the Hunt. I am very surprised that ST is not being spammed. It is by far one of the best activities to do now, lvl 100 gears and a chance of those oil and sand, plus some tomes. Very happy to see that dungeons and raids are back as the reliable source of income for tomes, while Hunt become casual side attraction with "casual amount of reward" where it should be.

Yea hunts were so awfull. Now we are back to speedrunning 1 dungeon again endlessly. I AM SO EXCITED....... sarcasm off.

I do not see how that is better then hunts.

mistake on SE's part. SE needs to get out of this negate everything mentality they have. So now we are back to having a massive lack of relevant openworld content again.

I rather they give us options. The one who want to Hunt can hunt, the rest can do daily beast men quest, or spam dungeons. This way if you DO want to do Hunts, you don't have to deal with 200 people all trying to kill the same mobs. Now you can do it, leisurely, as it was intended as casual content to supplement your main dailies.

Personally, I rather they give allied seals on ALL content in the game. So you can do everything there is in the game and get some allied seals, and not always have to do Hunt or nothing else. Spread out the activities, same rewards ratio.

Delicious tears.

Haven't been in a zone when an A or S has popped since 2.4. It maybe (opinion) the worst content to the game. Dark devices was not as bad as hunts. It is a shame that there may be some vanity or minion for allied seals. I have had a mob dead for over 4 mins and still getting casting/skill errors. The zones(server) weren't designed to handle 100+ people rushing from one zone to the next.

Bye bye Hunts! It was fun while it lasted.

Though some will still do them for glamour, alex etc, it has pretty much died.
Last night was one active hunt party (usually 5-6) 8 a ranks in window and ppl only stayed for nahn
A chorus of wtf when people saw rewards then all left.
I'm glad poetics aren't in hunts but I do believe the sold reward is far too low, when a use to get 80 myth, down to 20 sold, really poor balancing

Just had Garlok on Cerberus. 10 Poetics for max credit.
No one seems to go for A anymore, I see a few desperate people annoucing stuff in hunt LSs, but no one goes there xD

Yeah, i was doing hunts because i was able to get alex at a quick pace but now it kinda sucks i mean you need 400 sol for one map and you only get 20 from an A rank hunt? Come on SE that is just bad balancing... You just killed Hunts in one update gg for you.

S ranks are still worth it imo, 50 soldiery for less than 5 mins of fight, A ranks not much if you count the "you gotta scout for nearly an hour" factor.

The rewards for hunts were the allied seals. The tomestones were a bonus... and prior to 2.4 that bonus was so big people were doing hunts exclusively over all other content. Now that they've effectively nerfed the tomestone reward hunts will be done by people looking for allied seals as they were originally intended. Maybe now people can have some fun with them and actually get full contribution. This was much needed IMO.

But now we need a small change, when they increased the HP of A ranks they said it would be temporal, due to the high popularity of this system, now that it died out it would be good if they could be toned down a bit so smaller groups of players can kill them without sitting there for an hour.

Wait, I actually have to do dungeons now to cap my tomestones?

Oh please. Hunts were such great content? Give me a break.

Hunts were horrible. Hunts gave far too reward for literally no effort, other than teleporting around and arriving at a monster first. They were so dramatic, with childish people starting flame wars, name calling, blacklisting, etc.

They brought out the absolute worst in the community.

BTW, I used to be on Famfrit (as you are), so I know exactly how the hunts were on that server.

I see people whining that this destroys hunts. From my experience so far it makes hunts worth doing where they were just stupid zerg mobs before. I've only had fairly small groups (8~12 people) go after A-ranks after 2.4 and it's more fun that way. It's more challenging, and this way people actually have to know at least some of the monsters' mechanics instead of just being able to faceroll their way to the soldiery and allied seal cap.

Yeah you can't effortlessly "work" towards some of the highest-end gear in the game now, but it's still good for seals and solds and the experience itself is, for the first time since hunts came out, relatively enjoyable at least as far as I'm concerned.
