    Beast Tribe EXP

    Is there a particular reason Squenix isn't tweaking the old level 50 beast tribe exp? It's not even worth the 20 minutes it takes to complete them for 48k exp (at level 48) vs. a dungeon where the last boss is giving 100k xp (at level 48).

    Both take the same amount of time to complete as the Heavenward ones, but for some reason, going back to long outdated expired content, gives you an insignificant amount of exp, for what? Vanity objects. Is that really a good enough reason to not just simply buff the exp rewards?

    While I do agree that ARR beast tribe quest exp could stand to be boosted I don't think it's fair to call them worthless compared to dungeons. They're a nice option for exp for dps classes to work on while in queue.

    In terms of exp, they are worthless. But they do have value in the rewards for the ranks, of course.

    For DPS, you can do the beasttribe quests while you're queuing for those dungeons.

    Yes but the HW beast tribes give 10% of your bar for every 3 quests completed. ARR beast tribes give insignificant amounts, its not about use of use and being able to queue and do them. It's about bringing them in line.

    48 -> 49 Exp required to level up: 498,000 (unless the internet is lying to me)

    Wait, so what's the problem then? 48k exp is basically 10% of your bar.

    The xp they give isn't supposed to be linear proportionate to your level. They're much more valuable at low levels. ARR BT exp sucks post 51, HW BT exp sucks post 61, etc. I suspect SB BT exp will be trash 71+, but can still clear them right before expansion drops so you can cash out a small chunk of the exp needed 70->71.

    I'd like to see percentage based gains instead of a fixed value by level, that way they'd stay relevant. Or at least do something past 50, or w/e the cap was at the time so they scale with new expacs. I never really did em much at the time and I have a few classes left to get to 70 it would be a nice option to have, esp for DPS.

    The exp from beasttribes in HW and SB is actually really nice for lvling, obviously its capped to only so many per day, but its a very nice boost towards lvling (and the rewards). The OP actually has a good point, from what i can see, that the ARR beasttribes could b changed to help boost lvling a bit for the lower lvls, same as the current BT qs, instead of the current pitiful amount. Not only does it make that content a bit more worthwhile, but it also promotes doing it instead of it being forgotten like so much other stuff

    Y'know, now that I've hit 41 with BLU, I'm starting to question. Maybe it's different for BLU, different values or something, idk. But I was kinda looking forward to this milestone for access to the first beast tribe quests, only to find 8,625 exp per quest, out of 340,200 needed to hit 42. So, just about 2.5% of a level for each quest. That is awfully pitiful.
