The Hunt Rewards: Alexandrite, Oil of Time, Sands of Time

Yay for more options! So now we got tomestones, marks, BC, and CT.

Yay no reason to log on for raids anymore.

You do raids for the raid gear you need that'll never drop for you.

It's about time it was possible to get Sands and Oils from somewhere other than coil.

Don't people do Coil for Allagan/High Allagan gear?...

Thinking about this more, I would guess that this is the reason they're not putting Oil and Sands in CT2 just yet. If they withhold it (for the time being) from CT2, it will get more people doing the monster hunts.

You don't raid for the challenging content you can work to conquer as a dedicated group?

The fact that you can supplement your gear with SLD+oils outside of coil just kills the whole thing for you? Maybe you shouldn't be doing that in the first place.

Agreed. I was getting tired of actually raiding for raid gear. Wondering when they will start mailing it to me as my daily prize for logging on.

Except that High Allagan gear will still be better than any of the options I listed...including the Allagan Tomestone Weapons. The game is giving us options, that's never a bad thing. I imagine it will be more of a grind, which, if that fits your playstyle, more power to you. Regardless, you can still get the best equipment from BC, or you have it already. No reason to complain.

Elite (Unknown Rank. B? A? S?)

Regular Mark

Assuming these screenshots hold true, and depending on what that Elite Mark is ranked as, I would assume B as I would hope a bear is not rank S, that would mean that:

Elite Mark Rank S = 15,000 Gil/60 Allied Marks
Elite Mark Rank A = 10,000 Gil/40 Allied Marks
Elite Mark Rank B = 5,000 Gil/20 Allied Marks
Regular Daily Mark = 1,000 Gil/1 Allied Mark

The difference between Regular and Rank B is 5x Gil/20x Allied Marks.
Rank A 10x/40x
Rank S 15x/60x

This is obviously speculation, but I would ballpark gear/weapons to be in the 50s~ for notes maybe? 27 Allied Notes/week MINIMUM with Rank B Elites. That's 2 weeks for 1 piece? Later on you get 1 piece/week when you unlock higher marks? Idk, maybe?

i'll tell you when the gear that isn't High-Allagan stops being complete and utter crap.
