    That's because endgame rewards are pretty much a direct time/reward ratio.

    Garuda EX is an incredibly short fight and if any more reward was given out then the time/reward ratio would be too high and everyone would just farm Garuda EX rather than doing any other content.

    This of course is a fundamental problem they have brought on themselves by designing such a poor reward system to begin with, but that's how it is in this game. Difficulty isn't really a factor of reward in this game since the risk/reward ratio has already been skewed to unmanageable levels already by poor itemization.

    Still, it's not like just anyone can hit 50 and beat garuda ex. it is a pretty short fight given you know what you're doing, and in which case you could even say the faster you complete it the smaller your reward. But if it turns out everyone's farming garuda ex, that'll be no different than everyone farming the hunts or farming brayflox hard mode and quitting.


    I find it absurd that a primal (primal FFS) that requires you to do so much just to get there, then actually have the ability to understand and complete the fight offers less of a reward than a 60 second hunt.
