wondrous Tales not giving some rewards issue

I have been having the following issue since possibly the last major update in October (maybe even longer). I have reported the issue in-game but have not seen the issue go away. I looked around if there has been other people having same issue but nothing so far.
here is what happens:
you turn in your journal to Khloe and you get a set of guaranteed rewards (Left side) and a set of optional rewards (which you have to choose between two items) on the right. For the longest time I have been able to get the optional rewards without issue, however, the guaranteed rewards do not drop. at one point I had the opposite happen.
this is fine if the guaranteed reward is maps or tomes but it really hurts when it is a good item (cracked crystals ex) and i miss out.
I would like to know if anybody else had noticed this or (hopefully) support can do something to fix it. getting really annoying:mad:

Thank you:)

There is no guaranteed drop from wonderous tales...
You have always the choice between the first 2 collumns for level 60 and with 70 you get an additional choice (3rd collumn).
The only thing which is guaranteed is that you can choose from the first line for getting 9 stickers, that is the only guaranteed thing.

Good morning, and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.

While this isn't a technical issue, we may still be able to assist.

Just as the above poster stated, the drops for this particular quest are not guaranteed, you get a choice once completed. It sounds like you are selecting one of the options and not getting the other item because you only get the one choice.

We hope we can be of assistance in helping you enjoy the exciting world of Final Fantasy XIV!

well that is not how it worked before and I have consulted with other players and they agree something is wrong.

example:

lets say you you get 9 seals. you get 3 columns of rewards

500 poetics Allagan Piece Map

the tomes drop not matter what (guaranteed). the allagan piece and the map you only get one and you have to choose one. I am not getting the tomes or anything under that column if I happen to have lines completed. that is my issue. it was never like that before and I have confirmed with other players that the first column (tomes in this example) always drop.

something is not right.

by the way I have screenshots of the issue from a couple of the times I tried to turn in the journals. however they are from ps4 so not sure how to post them here.

I don’t ever recall seeing any guaranteed rewards from WT (granted, I had a bad habit of letting my journals expire). I always remember having to pick the rewards, but I think in HW there were only 2 options per category, where as SB gives you three options per category (9 seals, 1 line, 2 lines, and 3 lines).

As for posting images from a PS4, you’ll probably have to save them to an external device (like a USB), transfer them to a PC, upload them to an image-hosting site (Imgur is a good one), and then post them here using the [ img ] [ /img ] tags.

EDIT: This is from the 3.4 Patch Notes: Looks like you’ve always had to pick one reward or the other; there are no guaranteed rewards other than if you get 9 stickers, you at least get to pick one reward (still have to choose between the 2 or 3 options though).

So, you would get either:
500 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics
OR
1 Allagan Gold Piece
OR
Dragonskin/Gazelleskin Map

I have never seen it behave like you describe. There are no guaranteed rewards from Wondrous Tails, and have never been. For each of the four categories (9 seals, 1 Line, 2 Lines, 3 Lines) completed you get to choose one award from a set of two items. (Might be three items to choose between at level 70 - haven't got there yet.)

thank you for replying.
yeah after 60 you get an additional column. so you get three rewards instead of two like in your picture. the one on the right you always get the other two you have to choose between them.

i will try to upload screenshots maybe that will clear the confusion. thank you for the tips.

According to the 4.0 Patch Notes, though, the only change made to it was an additional option upon hitting 70. There is no mention of a guaranteed reward.

Upon reaching level 70, the objectives available in the Wondrous Tails will change.
* The aforementioned changes will not affect a Wondrous Tails in your possession prior to attaining level 70.

Here’s an image from SB Week 1 of a level 70 WT book—still says “Select One” above each section; no mention of anything guaranteed.

By all means, though, please do upload screenshots. Because, if you’re experiencing something different, it’s a bug, not how the feature is intended to work.

These are the Lines you can go.
When you are selecting the finished duty's for lines if you go above 7 you cannot use 2 points to change the lines it has to be 6 then you can use the points to switch lines up.

If you complete the 9 seals you should get the top line without having any lines at all.

9 seals free line when finishing the book.

1 line you have to line it up like the chart says.

OK things making sense now.

i don't know why i remember always getting two rewards... maybe something changed or is just me remembering incorrectly (more likely lol)

I just tested again with a new book and it works just like you said, you have to pick from all three, not the two on the right like i though. wow being missing out on good rewards for not reason at all. well it happens (blame it on the grind)

thanks to all that answered and set me straight. at least i don't have to think about this anymore :)

thanks

There are actually more options in terms of where lines can fall, but this thread isn’t about that, it’s about a discrepancy in rewards. According to OP, there are supposed to be guaranteed rewards for each tier, and then 2 you pick 1 from. Though, that has never been the case to my knowledge nor how WT rewards are supposed to function, so OP is either misremembering or experiencing a bug.

You are very welcome. Could be just misremembering. Happens a lot, trust me. :3

I will be moving this thread to "closed concerns"

Thank you for playing Final Fantasy XIV! Hope to see you online.
