    Hunting Log to Include Hunt Bills / UI (Moving Out of Key Items)

    Tl;dr: I'd love to have either the hunting log (a real log in our log menu, that has quite a bit of dust now lol) have a new main section of organized information for our hunts (marks/bills, and maybe even A/S rank details) or a new log that does so.

    Sorry that I don't have an example but I was hoping we could have a hunt category like we have a fishing log or a "hunting log":


    In fact we could repurpose the hunt log since it's been a sort of forgotten log for a while now.

    So our Hunting Log now will track the hunt marks from each expansion, and organize all the info out and also let us know if we can pick up new bills (say for example your weekly log). Of course like the marks in key items you can click on them and such for interaction.

    Rather than remove the old hunting content it can just be a side small category in the hunting log (no longer the main focus, since it ends at level 50 and is for only classes not jobs). Or may consider remixing the content, don't want to tangent the thread though so just up to people's imagination lol.

    It's not awful how it works now but I feel rather than clicking through this:


    We could have a really nice interface that organizes them all out (so you don't need to mouse over, memorize the shape of each expansion's hunting bill, or click next a whole bunch to cycle through the list).

    Also because we'd be using an interface it can tell us more info than just the marks. Definitely don't lose the nice looking bill on each mark though (that has an image and gives immersion) just put it into the interface as you click through them.

    Another thing this hunting log could do is have a filter to show you which hunts you've killed before and have a section for A / S ranks. I think that could add more spice to the hunting experience. Perhaps adding some rewards (to the ones that already exist) by working through this hunting list.

    So just a short recap:
    • Either add to the current hunting log which hasn't been updated in a while or add a new log.
    • Extra info like bonus exp when you finish the whole set of marks.
    • Add timers to bills (less useful on daily resets, but weekly can be nice) and organized viewing of our hunting bills.
    • A section for all your hunt currencies.
    • Interact-able map, like the hunt marks have (click shows you the region they exist in).
    • Perhaps consider adding more info, like A/S ranks even though they don't get bills and being able to view monsters you don't have bills for (like the drop down "show all" "show incomplete" we have in some UI, but here it would show all or show only your current active marks).
    • Consider adding a tracker UI, like the quest tracker, so players can have a laundry list of monsters and their location/click-able for a map. The Recommendations tool gets close to this but unless I've messed something up for me it'll only show the marks of the area you're in (and of course wont list A or S ranks).
    • May also add some content around this new UI, I know there are achievements too but with it being neatly displayed it might make it even more of a content piece to play with.
    • If feeling really generous may include a section in the UI that is "closest hunt: X" of current available bills and any specifically tracked hunts, where x is the name of the map / region (if region is specified in the bill, otherwise just map location), and of course clicking would open the map.

    Not incredibly important/need "now", like most QoL lol, but I thought it would be nice to see my hunts organized out, listing my kills, and help me figure if I'm missing bills or how much of a bill stack I've done with a quick glance. Also figured hunting log is bit of a dead log so we could turn it into a more used one.

    Thanks for reading
