    Incentive to do Stages 1-3 of Alexander?

    Correct me if I"m wrong but the current dynamic to Alexander offers no reason to do the first three stages after you've obtain your token for the week? This feels like an oversight that could be fixed with adding the ability to obtain more tomes and maybe even Centurion seals after you've obtained your item for the week.

    Maybe something like 80 law tomes and 20 Centurion tomes for completion once you've obtained your token in x area. This way even after a player has obtained their token they have a reason to continue doing the stage and maybe rather than make it a straight 80-20 for each stage it could chance where

    Stage 1= 80 tomes, 20 centurion
    Stage 2=40 tomes, 40 centurion
    Stage 3=20 tomes, 60 centurion

    This way people can decide which they want more of, if they want to farm tomes and do it with Alexander they can spam stage 1 after they've obtained their token. If they want Centurion seals they can do Stage 2 or 3.

    I can get behind it offering Centurion Seals it gives a way to upgrade i170s to i180 without the cluster of hunts And does so through relevant iLevel content.

    Hell have the boss drop a random upgrade price but not bind it to the upgrade item lock

    Limit to one gear token i190 but not the i180 upgrade

    That way the special non upgrade centurion items are still hunt and do not fully invalidate them and upgrade gear can be acquired through raid dungeons

    Why only 1-3? Does 4 already give other stuff? I haven't done it yet.

    I understand where you are coming from, but your Tome and Centurion drop rate is waaay to high for a 10 min runs. No one will do hunts, dungeons, etc if they can do it in like a quarter of the time doing Alex. Why take 30 to 40 min to do a dungeon for 80 tomes, when you can do it in 10 min. Not to mention Hunts will be totally dead since there will be no point.

    20 Tomes I think is fine and maybe 5 Centurion per run.

    I say no to seals. Seals are what keep the hunt fun and interesting. Now a valuable craft item such as the Gobwalker plating dropped in A4 maybe?

    The A4 crafting drops aren't really worth anything, on my server they are only selling for 500g and 4000g. To many people are doing Alexander and they drop EVERY run, if it was like the coil items or the Crystal Tower items where it has a low drop rate, it would be alot better. The crafted items on the other hand, sells for a pretty penny since not alot of people have crafters leveled really high yet.

    Tanking is a job, DPSing is a science and Healing is an art.
    If the Tank dies, it's the Healer's fault. If the Healer dies, it's the Tank's fault. If the DPS dies, it's their own damn fault.

    What they should do is to have daily hunt specials for trials and raids. You pick one category, either coil, alexander, crystal tower, trials, etc. You can only do it twice a day, and each rewards you bonus 20 tomes and 30 centurio seals. It is not too much rewards but at least give you quick boost to your daily seals reward.

    And give more number of loot so people can improve, i did A1-4 10 times each one and only give me two loots!!! or i have veryyyyy bad luck (yes indeed) or the system would reward you with a bonus when you doing the same stage a lot of times and you can't got loot for bad luck U_u
