Beastiary Logs and Hunting

[daespinoza]

SE, please add a "Beastiary" entry under the Logs section. This could act as another means of tracking all enemies, their loot table, and their locations. Crafters need a better way of getting hides instead of relying on the marketboard (which is what caused this rant). There should be a required kill count for normal enemies and a clear for primals and dungeon bosses for the items to show up on the list. With EXP rewards, it can be a nice way to help people with low level alts.

Since we are probably not getting a Hunter type class, why not tweak a few things already in place in a way that isnt too intrusive. For instance, the NIN should probably get the Mug ability reworked a bit to potentially increase the numbers of drops possible from enemies (a guaranteed 1x-4x multiplier of sorts.) You could also add some text to the end of Miserys End for the BRD and Assassinate for the NIN; "If this attack deals the finishing blow, target is gauranteed to drop a HQ item (with exceptions.)"

Have you been sending your combat retainers out for monster parts? They can bring back preset quantities (often 10) of monster parts per hour.

Retainers are the best way to get monster-drop items, but I do think there should be some way of improving the player's own ability to get them. But it needn't go as far as a bestiary. Adding some food and potions which increase material drop rates would work fine.

I'd love to get a bestiary log for this game like several of the single-player FFs have.

Retainers are nice but they can not get everything. A log would be amazing. Also a better fishing log would be nice. Add a search box to the current one. I'm always having to go to a 3rd party website to search where to get some fish because I can't remember where I got it from in the past.
