Exchange ESOS (or Law) For allowances

[Ashiee]

Now, that achievement was created in a time where we had 8 battle/gathering leves and 8 crafting leves every 36 hours (not building up over time) and where leves was the main content.

Actually they just re added the achievement to Heavensward. They reduced it sometime in ARR to 1000 leves because people were complaining that it was almost it was impossible to get, but then at 3.0 launch they added a new one that requires 5000 Leves.

Snip.

Yeah, see... This is a truly stupendous achievement.
Just look at the maths, assuming you started with 100 leves as a new character (which iirc you don't), we'll use all of them up in a jiffy, so 4900 leves to go! (*yay*)
now we get... 6 per day, awesomesauce.
4900 / 6 = 816.66~
So that's a grand total of 817 days, which is over two years of not letting your leves ever hit 100 again, or making sure you do at least 3 leves per 12 hour period.
That's incredibly long-term, and it just seems so incredibly off-putting in terms of achievement hunting, as Ashiee put into the context of.

OP: I think it would be great to somehow get more leve allowances, but perhaps not by buying them outright.
Purchasing an admittance slip to an over-world event (so basically a special levequest) whose reward is entirely more leve allowances, would perhaps feel more in-line with what levequests are.

Ok so some disagree because, they use it for alts. But you have to consider, not everyone is interested in building up every battle class. But I can, understand where your coming from.

I do understand Law has some uses to certain people.
And perhaps, the majority of people do not even craft.
But also you can take into consideration, that allowances can be used to get certain drops.

Like Dodore wings or Ureaus leather. Now those items are still kind of a waste of allowances. The price has went down now because of new gears, but SE may hide more mats behind levees as well.

The other thing is that, with such a limit on allowances, its not very "new player" friendly.

Most of the players who do have all 60's across the board have no problem grinding it out like a madman to get there, but there are a lot of people who just don't.
It's also just too expensive for most players.

[kingatlas]

Yeah. IDC how they do it haha. I would be fine with having to do some quest to get more allowances or whatever it may be.

We do need more allowances somehow.

I just wanna be able to trade them for lower tomes. Why can't I turn in law for poetics?
