GC leve seal increase is...

The Last Flame Scout(5 star):

Levequest reward: x90 , x50
Difficulty bonus: x100

not bad at all, thats triple what it was before

A few members of my shell ran caravans and said they were getting 500-750 seals per run for those. That plus the supply rating you get from it makes caravans attractive again in my eyes.

well the increase wasnt at the area i went to, cuz i sure as hell didnt get any more then i did before the patch...
perhaps its just at the 40 camps

Nope, I am getting a distinvely larger amount on Nanawa Mines.
I remember previously getting roughly 60 Seals, whereas now i'm getting 80. Doesn't looks like much but it's a good 1/3rd increase.

That still seems terrible... 15 minute leve that you can't finish faster than 15 minutes getting 80 seals versus being in toto-rak for 19 minutes or less and getting 1k or more.

That's for the Nanawa Mines, Jinrya. Nanawa Mines is level 30. I don't think I can duo Toto-Rak in 12 minutes at level 30.

If it's a small increase to the 30 leves, the 40 leves might not be that much better either. So It mights be 150 seals on 1 star. But I don't know, I stopped doing GC stuff cause it seems to amount to nothing.

Let me point you to the OP, that is a L40 leve.
240 Seals for a solo seems basically pretty awesome. Gotta remember that Leves do continue being solo content even if it is GC seals and that all sorts of party-type content will be more rewarding (Caravans, for example, which are close to 500+ seals, I believe)

Why even waste time doing GC points at level 30? You won't even be able to use them for a while. Just get 50, run Toto-Rak and Hamlet a lot and get the new items.

Ah, well- I'm a more casual player and slightly anti-social so I only play with my friends, and during my time off weekdays, due to living in a different timezone, my friends aren't playing or are otherwise busy so I tend to do solo stuff. I prefer levelling off of GC leves since the 'leve counter' is right there where the leves are executed as well so no running around.
I'm not exactly sealhunting, it's more like i'm levelling off of them.

I see, good for you, that seems different.

Halatali, Snurble one (cant think of the name back something lol)

5 star, 90 seals for completion, 100 seals for difficulty.

190 over all.

find up to 7 other members of your gc. do it as good as possible. should give you at least 500 seals (probably even more with bonus) per run. that's 2k seals/hour for everyone in the party. seems not that bad

4k seals if your doing the level 40 caravan actualy, and your people are good at not losing packages

bonus can go up to 100%?

actualy, the 500 seals "perfect run" you mentioned is level 20 caravan

the level 40 gives twice that as a base, 900 or so if you get a perfect run(which is what i assumed you meant since you mentioned 8 people, you can do the 20 one with 2-3)

Yep, a perfect caravan run awards double the base seals!
I finally got the 200% bonus for running Hyrstmill today, for a sexy 1,020 seals ^^

Damn. I need to do some caravans. o_O

Damn potential 4k per hour is hot.

Only problem with caravans is now we have to fight for claim to get one of the 8 spots every 15 min. It's behest all over again!

Halatai 4-star company leves were giving me 215 seals each time. Did four or five of those before caravans. Most I got from the Immortal Flames caravan (level 40) was 750 seals. This is most certainly a great adjustment :D

Well done Neko. I'd say "if only I was an adder so I could join you!" but I think Admiral Bloefhiswyn would have my head.

It's not a perfect fix, but I would argue sign-ups for caravan should take place while the current one is underway -- giving priority to those who aren't in the current party and helping keep anyone from monopolizing it.

There is a new Grand Company leve where you have to discover 4 of a specific mob. And you don't have to do a 15 minute run neither. The shortest it took me was 4 minutes.

It's not easy to do at all though. I was in Neko's group for that one but the next run was with a full party and we only managed 510 because most of them were inexperienced (I had just learned how to do "perfect" runs myself).

I'm really happy about these changes, potential 240 seals on higher lvl GC leves and 500+ seals on caravan if you have all 9 packages

I'm seriously convinced SE just hates Gridania.

Twin Adder leves in Treespeak (level 40) were giving me about 120~ @ 4 star, did some last night and now it's 165~.

Super...

you should be able to get 90 just for winning +100 for 5star, and then additional up to 50 for completing it well. (in the case of like kill as many as possible, kill 4 of each thing instead of 2, and in the case of the find the 4 hidden mobs using crystals to detect, dont kill anything you dont need to)

It was the kill as many leve, I killed 5-6 each and still 165.

What's the strat on forcing caravan to be the full number of seals?
