NM Hunting Log

Sounds interesting! Btw what are exactly NMs?

Notorious Monster is a special category of enemies that appear in the world. They usually appear as a part of FATE events.
Notorious Monsters tend to be plot-related, quest-based, or unique to the world. They are often much stronger versions of normal monsters and beastmen. These monsters can have their own unique appearance, and some are enormous in size. Defeating some Notorious Monsters for the first time can give a Iodestone achievement.

sadly no longer accepted by most players as fun anymore.

It wasn't fun then either. Especially when you lose out to bots, that were rampant, and could camp 24 hours a day. Imagine now, if there were things like that here, with how much bots have advanced. See on screen, bot teleports in, kills mobs with it's other bots in party, GG. Spawn camping was never fun, i don't care how much people romanticize it, it just wasn't.

I do like the idea of the chance for NMs or similar to spawn during combat leves at random, and a log entry for them. Or even a log entry for NMs that spawn with fates, might encourage more people to do them.

Spawn camping wasn't fun but getting gear that was unique and actually rare seem more rewarding than gear just being handed to you. Not saying it should take years to gear up but 4 weeks to get the top tier gear and quests to get full AF gear doesn't feel right.

Don't they already sort of have a mechanic like that in Leves? Its like a "wanted criminal monster" or something like that? They could certainly play more with that. That would be really cool if they made those "wanted" monsters more like NMs with a chance to drop something nifty. And you're right, I think it would encourage more people to do them. Maybe do this for behests as well.
