How to fix hunts. Serious proposal.

[Gallus]

The real problem behind hunts is the fact that they trivialize the rewards of the rest of the content AND monopolize the only way outside SCoB to get sands/oil of time.

Simple solution: allow blood spattered mark logs to be bought with 800 mythologies. That would mean 2400 mythologies for each sands and 1600 mythologies for each oil.

This would split the community into those who would prefer to get sands and oil via myth farming and those who would want to do it via hunts. We are in a "catch up" phase where SE clearly wants us to start gearing ourselves with the highest tier stuff because new one is going to be implemented "soon". Let simply people do this "catch up process" the way the enjoy most FFXIV (be it hunts or dungeons/trials/raids/roulettes).

Suddenly 90% of the server is not going after these things and we no longer have abnormal queue times because everybody has lost interest in everything given the abyssmal reward hunts provide over the rest of the content.

Remember, why was the Atma terrible? Because the ONLY way to obtain all 12 atmas was a massive fate grindfest. Why is the Novus grind FAR more bearable? Because SE gave ALTERNATIVES as to how obtain these alexandrites.

This could make sense if hunts weren't also the fastest way to get myth as well. Yes, you introduce an alternative, but you have also made the hunts even better then they already are.

[Villainous]

I very much agree that this would be a good fix. But as Cyoung has said, that hunts are also the "fastest" way to get myth. I feel it would be more obtainable but at the same time make even more people want to hunt. Though i do like the idea of making the logs buyable with myth

Basically do what OP said WHILE nerfing myth/soldier hunt drops.

This is a fine solution.

They're not going to do that because increased myth/sold was their way of adjusting the Animus books.

[Gilthas]

I agree that the best way to "fix" hunts is to allow people to get the mark logs as efficiently as hunts from somewhere else.

Oil 200 Soldiery, Sand 400 Soldiery.

Done.

Oil 200 Soldiery, Sand 400 Soldiery.

Done.

Why would people use a method with a weekly lock out over one without? All you've done is make a system no one would use.

Perhaps a daily mark log for helping new players defeat harder content like Ex primals or twintania. You could get 1 log a day.
