Vath Beast Tribe

Who knew those dangerous dragons would have to deal with trivial problems such as fleas? Makes them look like big scaly dogs now.

Or that one dragon you have to find by name and how is ashamed at his secret deliveries for the same problem :P

I actually enjoy the Vath beast tribe quests too. Actually, i've enjoyed them all so far. only done two but hey...

The've made the old beast tribes relevant by adding T4 materias as quest rewards for the final tier of dailies. Additionally, relic upgrade items can be gotten through all beast tribes, including the old ones. It'd take a bit of work if you haven't done them, but it's worthwhile chipping away at them. I usually do mine on a lvl 60 and then turn in on a job that needs xp lol. No aggro and killing mobs in 2-3 hits makes them go silly quick.

I agree, I really like their quests and story. The dragon dailys made me laugh!

To be honest, I didn't expect anything from the Vath since the beast tribe as a whole seemed incredibly uninteresting before we got their quests.

But after we got the quests, I have to say, they are definitely the most well done out of all the beast tribes out there. Although I suppose it helps that their plot has way more to do with interacting with everyone else rather than being self-contained religious squabbles. It actually feels like you're making a real impact while helping them establish their independent society.

(Incidentally, I also notice it is also MUCH easier to rank up Vath compared to all the other beast tribes. Either there's a lot of hidden ranks later on that aren't reflected in achievements, or having maxed reputation for them is going to be a requirement down the road for something other than the HW Beast Tribe unity quest.)

Well to be fair, we didn't get to interact with the Vath a whole lot in 3.0, but 3.2 managed to make me care about them since they actually try to be useful and act like any other person (with some quirks, <click> <click>!) As for ranking up faster, I noticed that you start at rank 3 instead of 1 and you get 70 rep points per quest instead of 50 like the Vanu Vanu.

Wait really? I knew about the 70 points, but I never noticed we started at rank 3. I wonder what the max rank is on these.. if it's the same, it's gonna be painfully short..

Would you rather max out the tribes much later or sooner? :P

I like the story! Later! Lol

It probably maxes out at 8 again, though maybe this time there will be an actual quest at the max instead of just a congratulations.
