These Achievment rewards aren't very good

[Aaron_T]

I still really like this game a lot and not at all trying to complain
I just most of these achievment rewards kind of..... "suck"

Can we get better ones? Like for instance all of them. Thanks.

Which achievement does the chocobo outfit come from?

Titles, Vanity armor, Barding and Mounts aren't good enough for ya?

But if you are talking about Luminary Tools... Yes, they are shit and need to be re-worked.

No all that's stuff great. But yeah The Luninary Tools are just... bad.
Also vanity is cool and all but no way I'm going to even try hard at all to get such garbage achievments.
I know I could be nicer and more political about this but man they are just.... close to worthless.

I agree!
All the rewards are useless (achievment & event), lvl 1 rewards & lvl 50 ilvl 50-55 rewards Honestly dont deserve to be called rewards.

In 1.0 at least they were useful like the crowns could be used for almost any class in any instance because they were useful ,they had acceptable stats & defence. e.t.c.

Honestly the "Rewards" in ARR are so bad & useless they really shouldnt be giving us anything & no im not being sarcastic i do mean it 100%!

I'd much rather have items i can use & display!!! rather than items i can't use or display! (& by use i do mean long term!)
You can display minions, mounts, armor, weapons. you can't (really) display accessories ~ thats like asking a blind man to look for the dollar you dropped.

End of the day i suppose your doing me a huge favour with this game, giving me no reason to do achievements so i have more time to do other things like play Day Z, Rust, Tera, DCU e.t.c.. So thank you!
Events... fun to do,...something to do has exp & gil which is good. only downside is most of the rewards.

EDIT: I'd also like to point out the vanity system is ill conceived & not well thought out compared to how it should of been from the start.... Anyone with mmo's experiance will understand this. So to say Vainity will solve how useless these items are, thats not justifyed & its just a stupid thought!
To be clear in not saying the vanity system we havnt tryed yet is crap, im saying from we know from being told Theres alot of missing bits & pieces.... So we'll wait until we tryed it before saying anything of the sort. Just saying we'll i said it above its up to you to understand it & if you came to the conclusion i ment its crap then you are wrong.
Being negative? Nope just not a blind idiot, alot is wrong, yay 2.2, but none of the issues that have been there since release have been sorted or addressed, Safe to say with this track record there never going to be & thats what lets this game down. I'd love to say yay good job e.t.c. but when nothings done to fix obvious flaws or things that could of been better from the start, or in other cases No way in hell should of been there since the start. Well..... Its just impossible to give praise.

Veteran Rewards on the other hand are good.

Welp! With the upcoming vanity system you'll be able to use the crowns if you so wish.

[Skies]

That is their actual point, though.
The rewards only exist so you can show you did it, they are effectively useless! Achievements exist for bragging rights only, really.

[Nahara]

That's kind of the point for most of them.

If the items earned via achievements actually had valuable stats on them, the achievement ceases to be something optional the players can do if they feel like it and instead becomes something they must do, whether they want to or not, in order to remain competitive.

They're vanity gear, useless stat-wise but very visually appealing, a sign of achievement to prove you really did something challenging, essentially a trophy that you hang on the wall or place on a shelf. The only real exception to this is the Master [Class] rings you get by completing the hunting log for that class; those rings are actually fairly decent to use given the item level.

To make this thread somewhat useful:

Which achievement does the chocobo outfit come from?

Having a chocobo companion at rank 10 (only the chocobo, not one of his role)

For the mask, there is still no new achievement for it

The only real exception to this is the Master [Class] rings you get by completing the hunting log for that class; those rings are actually fairly decent to use given the item level.

The GC accessories are also good if you want to spiritbound your gears faster.

I'm surprised people hate the Luminaries so much when in my opinion they are the only Achievement Rewards worth using. They have exactly the same stats as the Questable level 50 Counterparts, but have the bonus "Reduced Durabiliy Loss +10" on them. Thus the Luminaries are an upgrade (though not by much.)

Appearance wise they are awesome. Giant golden crafting weapons on your back; the Armorsmith Luminary looks like a giant Warhammer. And 2.2 is giving all of the Luminaries the same visual "Crafting Tables" as the level 50 one's so they don't use the generic wooden tables any more.

Oh, and the Gilded Magitech is just bada$$ (^_^)
