returning to beast tribes quests

[Gunspec]

Wow, so I finished up 2.X beast tribes a long time ago, and this week is my first time doing them again. I forgot how many of those quests involved sitting and waiting for fates.

Vanu vanu quests have been great, both in terms of rewards and completion time. Centurion daily hunts don't have the annoying "wait for a specific fate" requirement that allied seal hunts used to have. Void ark was unlocked after a few short conversations, instead of waiting up to an hour for unrelated fates to spawn.

Now here I am, typing this while afk waiting for a fate. Nice change in design over the last year, guys, but I could do without this trip to memory lane.

How about adding the beast men currency to more than just the final tier of dailies? It'll be nice for the people that haven't fully unlocked the beastmen quests, and for people that are already at max rep, we won't have to wait 20 minutes for "Watch your Tongue" to pop. It's still only 12 pieces of currency a day, but it gives everyone a little more flexibility.

Edit: oh, and while I'm still waiting, another idea! How about scaling the xp from these dailies up a bit? They don't have to be vanu vanu levels of xp, but 10k is kind of lame. I was swapping to my machinist when I turned them in for the extra xp, but 90k a day is barely worth having to wait for cooldowns to reset.

It's nice that you can walk though these zones as a level 60 and be ignored by mobs though. Nobody tells ME to slow down anymore.

Agreed. I had forgotten about spending more time waiting around on fates to pop than actually playing during these beast tribe dailies. The vanu ones have been so nice without them. But its nice returning at level 60 and just running past all the enemies. The ones where you are supposed to carry something and avoid being detected. lol just stroll right past them. Or the sahagin ones on the boat where all the enemies ignore me.

I haven't gone back to do any 2.x Beast tribes because I'm not really interested in relic, so I'm not 100% this is a solution but:

couldn't you avoid the Fate-requirement Beast Tribe quests? Cherry pick non-fate Tribe Quests from the various Ranks of NPC Quest givers in each tribe?

Or do the higher rank Quests give better Relic Token yields, making that not an option?

The highest rank ones are the only ones that give the relic tokens. So you have to take the 3 available if you want your 3 tokens for the day.

.....

I've circumvented fates with doing doing all the lvl48 quest besides fate quest and then doing 0-3 vanu quests (depening on how much allowance left)
because of this you will have to do at most one fate quest each day.

Vanu vanu give less items per token but it beats the 30min waiting time per fate.

Just suffer fom waiting 40 mins for fate "quenching the flame" yesterday ... I hate Amallja...

Do the Ixal quests. No FATE involved.

The currency from the Ixal quests can't be used to buy any of the unidentifiable items needed for the Anima relic, which is the main reason why a lot of people are going back to doing beast tribe quests.

Ehh if I get a FATE one I see if fate is up when I get there, if not I just abandon when I turn in others.

I waited 1 hour, I wanted to cry. I now remember why every time I got a FATE quest I would discard it immediately...
