"Regular Marked Bills" Whats are they for?

[SweDDishB]

I'm just curious. The reward for "Regular Marked Bills" is one or at most two allied seals. Who in their right mind would do these? I'm new to the hunt, but why are the rewards for these so low? Does SE not want us to do them? Am I missing something?

They were originally intended as a way for more casual players to participate in the Hunt system and earn rewards at their own pace, however you're right in that they aren't very useful. Good news though! Square-Enix recognizes this too, and will be addressing this shortly.

Q: The rewards for both Mark Bills and Elite Mark Bills feel low. Do you have any plans to make adjustments to this?

A: We'll be making adjustments to increase the rewards for Mark Bills. However, if we were to increase the rewards for elite mark bills in the game's current state, we're concerned it would cause even more people to focus on the Hunt. We'll be looking into this carefully, but we believe increasing the rewards for daily marks will better for distribution.

For some reason SE thought that people would do them, yes. Almost as if they forgot they were introducing Elite marks in the same patch.

To be fair, if you want a quick solo activity to make some extra gil, it's not a bad way to go. Just consider the seals as a bonus.

in their right mind? you get gil for these sure there are better ways to make money but not everyone does them like spiritbinding or crafting or even gathering.

i see it like the challenge log, beastmen and other such things. you do it for the gil and the allied seals. for casual players who don't do much and has trouble making gil its easy gil (besides if you get unlucky long spawning fates but thats only 1 or 2)

but se is going to adjust the amount of allied seals you get from them so dw.

Oh that's good news. Ty for the response, I'm looking forward to this change=)

People who don't wanna party up for the ranked ones?
People who just wanna go at the hunt without much effort/rage/hate?
People who just plain can't do the ranked hunts?

To make people like you ask silly questions?

Reasons errwhere, yo.

The rewards are low because they require practically nothing to complete.
I do them.
SE doesn't care what you or anybody else does, and yes, you are missing something.

They are definitely one of the things that need improvement in the game. I did them for a few days then was like... "Hmm.." after doing B, A and S rank hunts for a few days and realized how pointless the daily marked bills were.

You get a total of 7 seals for completing a whole list of monster kills, two of which you have to rely on waiting for the fate to pop before you can even kill them.

Or I can go and kill 2 B rank NMs and get 10 seals in a fraction of the time it takes to complete the daily marks. Not to mention I'll also get a lot more myth tomes and soldiery tomes from the B ranks.

It's a no-brainer.

I think by now the devs should have realized they dropped the ball with the low rewards for daily marked bills. They just aren't worth doing.

Lol yeah, 1 allied seal is just.. dumb. So it makes sense that adjustments are gonna be made for them.

I'm sry, I didn't mean to troll. I was just in a hunt pt and got way more seals than the reg. marked bills. I was just wondering why they were even in the game. It seems the reward isn't worth the time when better options are available at any time.

[Ecks007]

Nonsense

Yeah..... That's why they've already stated they are going to increase the rewards for daily marked hunts. So it would seem SE does care.
