Challenge log needs a bit of reworking

[Nutz]

I do think the retainer one is just way too unrealistic. Should maybe be the other way around. 10 field ventures and 15 total. It's just a slap in the face really because the game shouldn't really have a cash shop.

I agree, it's ridiculous. Those saying it should be 14 are still suggesting that challenge alone should require you to log on every single day, while every other challenge can be done in 2 days at most (beast tribe quests is the only one I can think of that can't be done in a single day even if you carry over your allowances).

Overall pretty good suggestions. I always thought it was odd that giving commendations was a challenge rather than receiving them, lol.

Yeah I meant Chocobo raising not fighting alongside companion, but it can go in companion category. And as for receiving commendations, the award can be tiny, maybe just 1000 Gil or little to no exp. I play dragoon and on average I would get 20-25 commendations a week. Now that I play tank on another character I get literally double that a week. 3 commendations are easier to get than crafting 20hq items at low level, especially with doing 10 guildhests, 17 PVP matches, 5 dungeons, and if they added raids to challenge log that's even more chances to get commendations. And people would be giving them out like candy (they already do) if the challenge log boosted it to 10 instead of five.

They definitely need to add a hunts category to the challenge log. Especially if they don't plan on raising the amount the daily marks give. It should be something like if you do all your marks for 5 days (25 for the week) then you get 50 bonus seals from the challenge log. That would make doing dailies a little more worth it. As it is daily hunts are pointless.

The guildhest and retainer ones are all out of whack. I'm sure there was an oversight at some point when they made those.

They are actually out of whack. The second guildhest one says complete ten UNIQUE guildhests but I have proven they can be the same and not different ones.

I wanted to add maybe a trials version of roulette to challenge log as well, like completing five trials. This will increase incentive for people to queue for this. It's hard to get into leviathan hard mode even as a tank.

[Defteros]

why would you ever get into leviathan HM? xD

it drops nothing, once you clear it ( easily) in the main story, it becames pretty much useless...

That's exactly why. People trying to do it for the first time will wait forever.

[Defteros]

there will always be someone who needs to do it, because it's part of the main story..

It would be hard queueing, clearly,but not impossible. and there are other ways to do it, like PF, or asking friends or your FC...

I pull 3 commendations just on my monk several times a day. I would be okay with 7 commendations as a challenge cause that's just crazy.
