Bring Forced Spawn Notorious Monsters, and purchase spawn items with gear currency.

[Steady]

let FFxi where it is ^^

more seriously, we don't have horizontal progression in FFxiv for now

FFXI had it's share of things wrong with it.. but force spawn NM's were entirely right. Anyone who ever hunted Gods in Sky or did Sea can appreciate how casual a thing forced spawn NM's were by comparison. No one could camp them (monopolize them).

Even Hunts, got monopolized to a point. On Gilgamesh, we had one LS serving the entire population of the server. And while SteakTheory handled it very well considering, it was still a monopoly. I heard on other servers it was much worse.

Essentially they have a system that could be tweaked for this in their treasure maps. They could even elaborate on the maps for something like this. Except I would want there to be more to it than just what it is.

yeah i like this idea, right now i'm at 1100 sol and i don't really want to use it on filler equipment or crafting items. but to get special equips that has potential effects on em won't really twerk the game balance if only this could happen
