    [Request] Bestiary

    I know it's really stupid... but I enjoy reading these when they are in games...

    It's be nice to unlock a bestiary that holds information on every enemy we kill with a small lore note or description about it.

    I imagine it to be something like this;

    UI is a book or box
    -Has several lines for sorting
    -Sort by:
    *Region
    *Enemy type
    *Class/Job quests
    *Regional quests
    *Dungeons and Raids
    *FATEs
    *Notorious Monsters/hunts
    *Bosses
    *Would break down into 3 categories. Mini bosses, bosses and raid bosses (Trials and Raid Bosses)

    Once sorted, display would be similar to how it was done in FFX-2 with a small picture of the enemy+name, with 9 entries per page. Of course in an aesthetic style akin to FFXIV.

    An entry page in my mind would look like this

    Top left corner- Image of enemy
    Left center under image or above image - enemy name
    Top right corner and right center - Statistics
    - Stats would include:
    -The 6 main stats
    -Attack
    -Defence
    -Health
    -Mana/Stamina
    - Attacks?
    Bottom of page: Lore description or note about enemy

    I can see two types of achievements

    Entries (generic entries in log)
    10 entries
    50 entries
    100 entries - necklace
    500 entries - title
    1000 entries - ring
    2500 entries - earnings
    Whatever current cap is* - title + minion/mount

    Zone completion (completing all entries in a zone including dungeons, FATEs, Notorious monsters/hunts, dungeons, raids or otherwise relevant to that zone)
    1 zone - title
    3 zones
    5 zones - hat
    10 zones
    15 zones - body/chest
    Whatever the current cap is* - title+ minion/mount

    *same achievement


    I know. Lame idea. Common idea. It'd just be cool to have. I've got a notebook of 527 personal entries but I know there's way more and I'm missing a lot of stats and lore entries

    I feel this would promote people to seek out and do old content they may never have done before or enter areas they had no reason to go to before

    **An afterthought. To the quests that cannot be completed again with relevant unique mob incounters, I would propose that they be ticked as entered in the bestiary as long as that quests been completed.
