ARR Beast Tribe Quests Feedback

With the addition of the Vanu Vanu, I noticed Vanu quest reputation reward was much higher and I was able to get through Rank 1 and half of Rank 2 with just 6 daily quests allotments used.

Since the Vanu Vanu daily quest reputation appears to be much higher, I was wondering if there are any plans to increase the amount of reputation gained from the old ARR beast man quests to make it easier to finish their questlines and move on to the newer HW beast man tribes. Using 6 quest allotments for rank 2 of the sylphs I went from 129/360 to 165/360. While using only 3 allotments in the Vanu Vanu I went from 0/360 to 150/360. At this pace it feels like it will take quite a lot of time to reach the max rank with the ARR beast tribes and I feel less inclined to bother using my daily quest allotment on the old tribes when the experience gain and reputation gain for the new beast man tribe quests is much better.

Not necessarily, except for the Ixali, you only to need to maximize 3 reputation ranks for each ARR tribe (so Rank 4 with 0/0 is the max). There are 6 Vanu Vanu ranks to maximize (so Rank 7 with 0/0 is the max), as there are 6 Ixali ranks to maximize.

When 6 quests at most were given each day, I recall we needed 10 days to maximize a rank for two tribes at once. For instance you started at rank 1 for the amaal'ja and the sylphs, after 10 days you would be rank 2, after 10 days you would be rank 3 and after 10 more days rank 4 and that's it.
Now that you can perform 12 quests a day, that means that you can maximize the first 4 ARR tribes in only 30 days.

Id like to know how you got 6.. after the first three and doing the rank up the stupid bird only had 2 more to offer (capping me at 5).. 100/360 :(
All others have introduced a second NPC for quests at rank 2 and a third at rank 3.. I guess since these are twice as much we probably wont see the extra quests until rank 3 and 5 possibly.

Also they did this for the ixali tribe too (boosted exp per quest)

Not sure if you ever did the 2.0 beast quests, but this was common if you had an unfinished quest. Check your quest log.

All beast tribes require the same amount of time to go from no reputation to max reputation. It seems to go faster for the Vanu compared to the Slyphs because the Vanu have more ranks so you're ranking up and unlocking new stuff more often, while the Slpyhs have fewer ranks that take longer between each. The time required to cap either is the same though.

an unfinished Vanu daily or an unfinished non-Vanu Beastmen daily or an unfinished quest in the zone that has nothing to do with Beastmen at all? not sure what unfinished quest means.

Its been awhile since I did any beast quests. But in 2.0 if for some reason you accepted a quest and it didn't get completed, or forgotten about, the daily limit would either not reset or you wouldn't get the full allotment of quests. Maybe the 3.0 dailies are separate from 2.0. I just remember it would come up on the forums quite often, people not getting the reset or not all the quests.

Though these could be completely separate from the 2.0 ones so in that case no idea, was just a suggestion to check the quest log to see if any were still not complete.

It's the same for me. I only got 2 rank 2 quests but I have finished all the old beast tribes and have gotten my sable death mask.

Similar problem for me: first day I was only able to do the initial quest and nothing further. No allotments. I had one active leve but no active beast quests.

This is a known issue. See the Lodestone entry on it.

Unfortunately their solution is apparently to just fix the bug and then leave all those of us who encountered it and are therefore missing out on chances to increase reputation permanently behind those who lucked out.

I didn't have this issue at all iirc. It was my routine for the old beast tribes to activate the quests and then not complete them until just before day 3 window opens which would let me do day 1 and day 2's quest back-to-back, then activate day 3's quest and wait the 1.9 days do it over again [just before day 4 window closes, do day 3's quests, followed by day 4's, pick up day 5's once that window opens, wait 1.9 days, etc etc).

was this happening with a specific tribe? You can just run out of quest, they only offer so many on a daily basis, and a single tribe doesn't offer enough to consume all your daily allowances.

What they say is that, for ARR tribes :
- open all 6 (now 12) quests on day 1 and then log out ;
- on day 2, go to quests deliverers npc and notice how the quest icons are red ;
- complete the quests you opened and hand all of them to their respective npc ;
- now the quest icons are not red anymore but yellow, take them all (these are day 2 quests) ;
- complete them.

By doing this just before day 3 starts, once day 2 quests are handed, day 3 quests are available (and day 3 is the new day 1).

Yup. My boyfriend is currently at reputation 300/360 at rank 2 and I'm stuck at 250/360 because of this issue.

Yep. And now that the fix is in, I can confirm that they in fact didn't do anything to help those of us who missed out on all three bonus quests.

Of course, they're also not doing anything for people affected by the retainer bug who missed out on a few day of retainer ventures. So I guess it's "play at your own risk" but it's still really annoying to be more than a day behind on the Vanu Vanu quests by no fault of my own.

The developers likely have no way of knowing who was and who wasn't effected by the bug, so they have no way of fixing it on an individual bases. Being a day or two behind won't hurt us in the long run.
