Cool! Hunts! Wait, what?

[Issac]

I find it hilarious that those reagan peppers are 48,000 company seals but only 20 allied seals. Bit of a balance issue, do you think? xD
Maybe it was a typo and supposed to be 200, who knows?

It looks like it's somewhat supposed to work in tandem with CT2, as people are reporting getting Unidentified Allagan Tomestones from the final boss. That is, you get the tomestone, get your weathered Weapon, get your sand from Hunts, and boom, new shiny i110 weapon. Good alternative to T7 farming/Atma line for more options.

Yeah, that is nice! They're saying the final boss also drops Oils to upgrade your accessories. Of course, it's one piece per week.

[KingOfAbyss]

The feeling I am getting is the game is pushing so fast to get Ilvl110?

I am confused as to why the rush..

Sands and Oils of time, Unidentified Allagan tomestones will become more common and less viewed as an accomplishment.

Grind and you get it. as others mentionned, not much real skills are needed.

I was sooo looking to the iLvl115 (ok for glamour mostly, but still) now If I will have my main iLvl110 and alts iLvl100.. Killing lvl1 monsters just by my aura and passing by on my mecha..

*shrugs*

By the time Ninja will be here, iLvl120 will be the norm..

Even for some stuff it's one piece or drop per week, I still feel it's way too fast. Let us enjoy the content, please!

Is it just me that sees it that way?

I actually think this is a better balance than it was before:

Worst i110 option - Novus - Incredibly easy to get, but time consuming
Middle i110 option - Masterworks - Now slightly easier to get, but still have to kill a lot of big enemies on timers (S ranks my be more difficult), and still have to hope for drop from CT2. OR T7 farm/combination of before
Best i115 option - T9

Think of it this way, too. The i110 stuff has been best or near best for ~3 months + another ~3 months after this patch = 6 months. I still doubt many people will have full sets or even really that many people with the Masterworks weapon by then. It's sort of being fleshed out as we go along, where down the line people coming into the game will have a long road ahead, and veterans will still be working on the highest ilvl items.

So you can farm the hunt mobs without the mark from the boards and still get notes?

Can anyone provide proof?

My ls mate says he killed a few with no hunt mark and got nothing and seems to think your all trolling so I need to prove himself wrong

[Shinun]

Rekilling alot of the Rank As now their respawn seems 3-4 hrs

[HumsterMKX]

The question is, Where and WHEN they spawn. Right now we are likely to run around like headless chickens,

[Fawkes]

The low rewards for daily hunts is depressing. What was even the point of including them if they're going to be practically worthless? Your time would be better spent camping Elite marks. It just feels like another slap in the face to people who don't have 8 hours a day to do one thing over and over.

And yet some people will complain about it being time consuming/hard w/e these kids complain about these days.

From the Letter from the Producer:

There are no weekly restrictions on how many seals you can acquire, so those of you feeling especially heroic are more than welcome to venture out and defeat as many marks as you can find.

So for those of you looking to amass large quantities of Allied Seals, you can acquire as many as you'd like from hunting down elite marks. Just be warned that sometimes they can be hard to find, and even harder to kill.

From the patch notes:

Players are free to pursue elite marks without procuring an elite mark bill from the Hunt board, but they will not be eligible for the bounties stated on the bill.

* Players are free to pursue elite mark enemies without completing the above quests.

To add on to the above, I've yet to do the quests for the Hunt board and I have almost 100 Allied Seals.
