Will we see a return of Battlecraft Leves?

You could be like 30 and have a level 80 in your party do everything. That's not really easy to balance for especially since there's no level sync and you would also have to balance it around other activities like hunts and fates.

So force the leves to be solo only. Simple fix; the programming is already there for BTN/MIN leves.

If they really really wanted to continue to allow people to party up for these, force any party members to level sync down to the level of the leve starter (this would take a bit more programming effort surely, but isn't out of the realm of possibility)

Again, if they wanted to fix this, they easily could.

I believe that the reason they were scrapped was because not enough people were doing them, so they thought that people didn't like them.

Which would be glossing over the fact that their rewards have been pretty bad for ages...

I'm sure one of the reasons they were scrapped was because they didn't feel like coming up with additional quest descriptions / flavor text for the levequests. I'm sure it was no coincidence that Stormblood was also the point where they stopped getting a proper journal entry for every quest (no matter how mundane or unimportant); they clearly had less time/budget/care allocated to this sort of thing.

The rewards thing isn't a good excuse. Like I said, they easily could have made the rewards worthwhile by simply adjusting some numbers, and that would have been far easier than coming up with all the flavor text.

I mean, they literally have a system in place that scales Challenge Logs, Beast Tribe Quests and Hunt experience to the level of the job you complete them on...

Kinda like CC. No one's using it in raids or dungeons past HW, so we must not want it, ever, right?...

Yeah...

To be honest I'm surprised we still have FATEs, given how no-one does them outside of S Rank Hunts and the Special ones such as Ixion.

Even when they added the Twist of Fate buffs in StB they were never done (Since, even if you DO get a Forlorn Maiden buff AND complete a Twist of Fate buffed FATE, it's still way worse than simply doing a Duty...)

But no, they felt the need to keep them around and tossed in the Bicolour Gemstone guff.

Why are you doing level 1 fishing leves? Ocean fishing will get someone from 1 to 28 in a single trip, and I can't imagine the level 1 rewards are worth farming that way.

It sounds like they're aiming to get the "Do 5000 Battlecraft Leves" and "Do 5000 Fieldcraft Leves" achievements.

Ocean Fishing will not help you attain 5000 Leve completions.
