Daily hunts to include FATE bosses...

[Seif]

Yeah that is kinda lame.

However these might be the big boss fates that everyone and their mom is currently ignoring.

Giant crab in Bloodshore and massive Ochu in ES as well as the Malboro in there. NO-ONE is doing these fates at the moment and they are impossible to solo. So is it really that bad that they're given extra incentive to kill?

I hope they won't replace the need for NMs that level tho'.

Because SE is sometimes adamant about sticking behind concepts that are faulted. Remember 1.0? If only FATE mechanic would get redesigned for the better as well....

If you have the time to do elite marks. Nobody knows what the spawn timers are going to be like yet. If it's anything like Odin and behemoth alot of people won't ever have a chance at those. People with just a little bit of time each day could at least count on getting their daily hunt done for seals. Unless they get a fate one that day and during the hour they have to play the fate never spawns so they have nothing to show for their play time.

I don't know what your point is. No, we don't know the spawn timers yet, so why worry about it? If there's enough of them in the world, you can kill them while farming FATEs or something. Make an LS that tracks them down, whatever.

here my guess
daily hunt : 200 seal
weekly hunt : 2000 seal
if you lucky and find elite mark without bill : 200 seal

oil should be around 1500 seal
sand should be around 3500 seal

here my guess
daily hunt : 200 seal
weekly hunt : 2000 seal
if you lucky and find elite mark without bill : 200 seal

Alexandrite: 20,000 seals
Sands of Time: 200,000 seals
Oil of Time: 200,000 seals

lol :P

I do indeed remember 1.0. You likely play as a Bard, which was a 1.22 introduction. You've likely done Guildleves, which was a 1.0 introduction. You likely started off in a city-state, which was a 1.0 introduction. You likely use your retainer, which was a 1.0 introduction, you likely viewed cutscenes, which were introduced in 1.0 as a way of telling this game's storyline. You likely....you get the picture.

I agree on the FATE thing, but saying "remember 1.0" as a way to say they stick behind something faulty and not realizing most of ARR is using 1.x systems and many locations still and is supposedly "so popular"...yeah

Perhaps some of you missed this in the patch notes.

The chance of a FATE occurring will increase the more time passes since its last occurrence, increasing the overall frequency of FATEs.

SE and yoshi says a lot of things though. With this game in particular we have to "wait and see", because it could end up:

Frequency Increased! But we didn't say of which FATES!

Oh, I just couldn't resist making a joke about 1.0 but what I'm basically saying is that SE can be very stubborn about pushing something that is.... well, I don't wanna say "bad", but for the sake of the argument let's call it "clunky". Now, in case of 1.0 > ARR it worked marvelously, of course. In regards how ARR FATE system works compared to similar game mechanics in other MMOs, however.... Not so much, and there's lots of room for improvement so that our very own FATE thing becomes a more enjoyable experience.

That doesn't negate the fact that it's still a FATE. The same things many complain about whenever a new content including those is introduced. It's like they're saying "Oh, we know you guys aren't particularly fond of FATE, but here, have some more. YOU MUST LEARN TO LOVE IT!"

[Ghastly]

I like fates

They just need to add more of them (more variety)
