While I know that some people may disagree with me, I feel there needs to be some changes with the Beast Tribes. Primarily speaking, I feel that the amount of effort needed to be put into maxing one out, let alone all of them is disproportionate with the reward received.

It requires roughly one month of work doing dailies -every- day in order to raise a faction from Neutral to Trusted, and as you rank up you are rewarded with crafting goods, dyes, and ultimately some furniture, a mount, and a minion. While the end results are nice, the issue is the price they have on them. 120,000 gil for the mount, 25,000 gil for the minion. These are things that honestly should be given to us for free as a reward for the effort (at the very least the minion).

SE rewards us with minions for far lesser milestones, such as completing a GC hunting log, or completing a story quest arc, or even just some random sidequest in South Shroud. If we are required to buy them, they should have a price tag more akin to the Cherry Bomb, Wayward Hatchling, and Mammet #001 while the mount should only cost 25,000 gil in its place.

I'm not necessarily complaining and whining that things should be handed to me, but it seems slightly unreasonable to me in my own personal opinion that you be forced to labor through daily quests for a month only to then be forced to hand over 145,000 gil to reap the rewards of your labor.

For those of us without max level Disciples of the Hand this is still quite a lot of money to drop on something like this, especially when you consider if you are a collector (like myself) you will end up having to spend 580,000 gil for all current mounts and pets. Presumably 870,000 gil by the time 2.3 launches (assuming that we will have two more tribes to quest for).

tl;dr: The mounts from beast quests are too expensive and should be reduced in price, while the minion should be given as a reward for completing the questline tied to the tribe. Either this or the amount of dailies needed to reach Trusted should be greatly reduced to make up for the enormous cost.
