Behest

Does anyone know what the new items to drop from behest are and which behests they drop from?

Saw an Allagan Band drop last night from the final spawned mob (peiste) at the end of a Iron Lake behest. Didn't get myself, but on mozk it's a U/U misc. item. I'm assuming that's it, or one of.

oooh thanks

nice! i wonder what those are for? did behest like 6-7 times last night, didn't get anything. I wish i could put all that wasted xp to good use :/

Saw one drop off final mob at Nine Ivies last night.

anything special about the behest items?

seems to be used for Relic quest

All the new items mentioned in patch notes for Darkhold, behest, Ifrit Extreme, etc. don't have an actual use. They are just quest items for Relic quest.

The drop rate for the item is pretty bad. I went 2/24+ on seeing the item drop at Iron Lake. Both drops were from the Peiste mobs and not the other final mob variation. And it is also unfortunate when you have people that refuse to join the party and take the last set of mobs so you cannot see if it drops.

Behest has been turned into a battleground because of this.

Yes! Precisely! It's exciting open-world content! This is compelling gameplay, man! This is everything we ever asked for! Learn to enjoy ridiculous competition for open-world resources! True difficulty consists in being able to click on an NPC or get claim on a monster before anyone else in the enormous crowd can!

lol true difficulty. So many factors can come into play to claim an NPC over someone else besides it being "True difficulty" w/e you mean by that.

A fix has been agreed upon and I would like to inform you of it.

If you complete the appropriate steps in the “A Relic Reborn” quest and complete the behest, an NPC will reward you with an Allagan Band. (Guaranteed reward that is only for players in accordance with the quest requirements)

We are planning to make this fix during the next hot fix, planned for the 28th. I’m sorry for the inconvenience and please bear with us.

I see it as pretty much the same thing, but hey, just my opinion.

Great news! Especially for those who are on the relic quest and are struggling to get their drop.

The important difference being ... ?

The phatness of the lewt may differ but the asinine 'world claim against the claimbots' is as bad in XIV as it was in XI it seems. :mad:

Hi Rukkirii,

Thanks for the update! :) Great news and a help to relieve stress / unfair drops (to those not even on the quest, etc.) in our current situation.

How about everyone who wants to enter, registers their request with the NPC once it pops, then after 30 seconds, say there were 12 people who registered, but only space for 8, 8 will be randomly chosen, and notified. That way we are catering for those with laggy connections. A 30 second window should be plenty.

It's a bit funny isn't it. I know a lot of people mention how they loved camping NMs in XI (I only played it a month so I have no experience in that sense) and how instanced content in XIV is spoon feeding.

But then again when it's a matter of getting that one item for that one quest I can understand it being quite annoying.

People would complain about too much random again ^^

After you finished a behest you can join the next behest during the last minutes (1 minute before the start). Enough time for everyone to join who wasn't in the last run.

Thank you for your feedback on Behest. We just wanted to let you know that in A Realm Reborn we are planning to change the Behest system significantly. New information will be released in the near future, so please look forward to it! :)

hmmm... seems like ARR is coming together into one neat little package....


more info = more excitement... i can't wait to play!

We were definitely aware it was going to drastically change since they achievements were being removed.

Definitely curious to see what it's been turned into.

Something fun, and less monotonous and lame, hopefully. lol

I have been curious SINCE the announcement that it was going to change in the first place...Why make a dev post saying you will let us know in the future... that's mean ; ;. Could have just waited til the info was ready to say something.

Gonna be so many things to do in ARR gonna love it.

I coulda swore it was mentioned at some point that Behests were going to be in a FATE format.

Well this just left me intrigued.

Well AoU Besieged was fun and not monotonous and lame for a bit, and the same can be said for WOTG campaign. I kinda hoping it something that the devs/admins can change on the fly and not just which enemies appear but objectives as well.

I think the devs are trying to troll us.

This is the 2nd community rep necro today..

Tbh, I'm just hoping they are a little more dynamic than in 1.0 and that there's more of a boss fight at the end. Slightly harder mobs that still go down in just a few hits, really didn't cut it.

I dunno, at 75 Besieged at Al Zahbi could get pretty frickin hard, especially when one of the HNMs spawned. Honestly I thought Hamlet was a pretty good test bed of what a FATE could be: waves of monsters followed up by a relatively strong boss.
