An Idea - Free Company Levequests/Guildhests?

[Malakai]

Please feel free to build up on this idea if you are interested in something like this. At the moment FC's are limited in what they can really do as a group in whole, it's either 4 or 8 people instances, which means some FC members have to sit the bench and hope they can get rotated in. Yea there's always FATE's/SBing but not everyone likes doing that. So was thinking of ways SE could make events for FC's to do as a group for FC only, and so far this is something simple that I've come up with and was wondering what other players in the community thought of it as well. However tho, this could only work if SE implements the Alliance feature they have done so inside Crystal Tower. Or if they make instanced area's where only those in the Free Company with the active leve are able to enter. That being said here are some personal leve idea's i've personally thought about.

Leve's would be the same as they are now; Battle, Gathering, Crafting. And would be divided up by 4 man, 8 man (for smaller FC's), 16 man, 24 man (for larger FC's) so you would be able to choose which leve suits your FC the best.

Rewards: Free Company Credits, Gil, Equipment & crafting items that can only be obtained by these leves. Reward is calculated based upon members and difficulty like it currently is.

Battle Leve Ideas
Wave attacks - Go to a certain location where the leve will take place and clear out 3 waves of monsters + a boss at the end.
Notorious Monster - Work as a team to fight a big boss, would be like a dungeon boss cept not in a dungeon.

Gathering + Crafting Leve Ideas
Build it - Combo Leve where Gatherer's have to go out and get materials for crafters to craft X number of items to turn in. On leve it will say what jobs are needed (MIN/LTW/GSM). Area would be a vast area where gatherer's would have to really go out there to get it. Leve is like helping a town build a house, boat, airship, or choco carriage.
Provisions - Single gathering or crafting leve.
Example: For crafting the Leve would provide you with materials needed from NPCs in the leve instance. Then you would need to craft w/e was needed. Like request is 100 Mythril Bhuj which npc's only gave out mythril+electrum+iron ore, bomb ash, and walnut logs. Meaning you'd need a GSM, BSM/ARM, and CRP to make those in the end.
For gathering you'd have to get a certain type of material amongst random nodes, not every node will have the material needed. So you'd have to pass on it or deplete it to make a new one to spawn.

Also to have Grand Company FC leves. Where you are doing a Hamlet like in 1.0 for an instanced area like Silver/Gold Bazaar, Quarrymill, Hyrstmill, etc. Where you are protecting Villagers from invading beastmen. Hamlet would be a nice thing to bring back and make it for Free Companies sign up for.
