Carbontwine and coats from hunts? doing this to us again?

Daily hunts give 64 seals (math might not be right). Weekly hunts give 100. A ranks give 40 seals. They sit on a 3-4 hour timer. There are a ton of them.

You can EASILY obtain much more than 1 carboncoat a week. Depends on how focused you are.

Is it a bad thing for you and other players to have high level gears? wouldn't it make everyone's dungeon runs easier?

Hehehe find it amusing how people complain about it. The way I see it the increased hunt rewards aren't there for the people that want the carbon upgrades. It's there for people that want the glamours in reasonable times - there's also some mats now there as well.

Let's see you need 30 S ranks at full credit to get the more desirable one. And they have long cooldowns(2-3 days)... you might get 30 in a week if you are lucky and are there when the windows are open. Yes A ranks give as well... 75 A ranks... Let's say you got 12h per day to kill in the game and get lucky and get all 3 A rank windows in that timeframe - and actually full credit... You would idealy get 3000 every 2 days - and that you really aren't doing nothing else during the hunt windows.


Now if you have 12h/day to play then great for you.

So yes they give them but at the same time it requires a lot of time commitment.

Does it mean that on the extreme end some people will be able to get 4 upgrade items - maybe a third? Sure. Will it be the majority? Not likely.

Do I care? No. I'm happy cause I'll be able to get some of the glamour gear in a decent timeframe without needing to actually grind hunts.

I'm not against players having high gear lol. They aren't obtaining Dreadwyrm items and a full poetics set =/= BiS in most cases.

Being able to gear alternative classes is awesome. Being able to upgrade outside of 2 turns from FCoB is awesome. Seriously, there are 2 drops a week before. I welcome this.

Yes ONE, a week, same as doing final coil and getting 1 item a week just one requires a lot of grind, the other requires teamwork. 2 Different methods of obtaining the same item with the same amount of work needed. Not everyone can do Final coil, and those who can get dread gear as a reward so they have something to show for their hard work, the rest of us need gear to keep up with content and the Poetic system is that way, now we will need a way to get up to ilvl 130 items, it does not surpass Dread gear in anyway the stats are always much better.

It's a very backwards way of doing things to unlock the uncapped, as-many-as-you-can-stomach-in-a-week method first and then to add in the weekly-capped method later.

This right here. I can seriously not believe some of the design decisions that actually go through.

ilvl 130 items, it does not surpass Dread gear in anyway the stats are always much better.

This sorry is debetable. Certain upgraded poetics pieces are BiS for some while some Dread bits are BiS for those same. The stats are the same. At the same ilvl the main job stat(dex,str,vit,mnd) and vitality will be the same between a poe and dread piece. Only secondary stats will change - which is arguable to each job and player preference.

Hunts have come full circle. When they first came out alot of people were just straight up nasty, frame rates were almost nonexistant, hunt targets disappearing. Then they finally start winding down with subsequent patches. People would ask questions on here about hunts, some people were like, "people still do hunts, ha ha ha, what a bunch of losers". Now a new patch that adds some content to the hunt mix, it starts all over again. Before this would see poor Nahn, or Murraco just sitting there maybe one person by it shouting out its location, maybe a response or two, but really nothing. Last night I come into West La Noscea for my beast quests, there goes the chat log flying off the handle about Nahn. I just happen to be going that way for a quests. There they are so many people again frame rates dropping off, rendering going haywire. Good show everyone, right back where it started.

but still people should not be forced to only have ilvl 120 gear simply because they can not do Final coil and a limited group should not be allowed to have the BiS gear, everyone needs to kinda have it, or we have a gap... and then you get the whole elitism coming up

Same rubbish happened in WoW, and i start seeing it here....soon it will be 130+ ilvl only runs for Final coil...

If you have read my previous post like 2 posts up from that one. I say I don't care about it at all. Infact I'm happy they buffed the hunts. I'm also happy with the required seals for the items themselves. I think they considered that most players(those that actually need to do something else for 8h per day) should be able to get atleast one of the items per week if that is their focus.

Working on alex for my relic.. the increased daily hunt rewards is great for me (been doing the stupid fate hunting every day for weeks now), but the zerg rush at A ranks make them not worth even trying to get to. I'm hoping the hype dies off in a week or so, so that people still do the A ranks, but not so much that it's dead before I can run to it..
