Highly Notorious Monsters

Also, PvP; I'm intrigued to say the least. Ballista was (lol) kind of fun, I'm ready to see what kind of PvP they will bring into FFXIV.

They have thrown a few tidbits our way. The pvp they've described so far sounds sort of like WoW's battelgrounds- but the state of these battles grants or denies access to related PvE stuff. Thus if PvP isn't your cup o' tea, you'll still benefit from the people who are participating in it.

Hmmm, perhaps a Free Company thing?

*Talk to Free Company NM Tracker*

"Oh, why if it isn't <player name>. Word around here is you and your <free company name> have been hunting down some pretty notorious beasts. I got me here an official hunt order from the <important faction> to track down somethin' by the name of <HNM name>. You and your <free company name> up for the challenge?"

Yes<

"Knew you wouldn't turn down such an opportunity! Here's a special Levecard. I've marked the area on the map of where you can find your target. Remember that only members of your Free Company whom possess this Levecard can track the target."

-You receive the 'Purple Rage' Levecard.-

*Travel to an area indicated on your map in a high level area. Approach (!?) on your map with all Free Company members in range.*

"There are freshly made tracks here in the sand/grass/snow/blah blah....Are you ready?"

Yes<

-Behemoth Spawns, Fight Behemoth, Defeat Behemoth-

"Each party member receives a {Trophy Behemoth Hide} key item."

Return to Free Company Tracker quest giver to turn in the Key Item for a reward. (Behemoth weapon, Behemoth armor, Behemoth Accessory, Gil)

I like the idea of a grand company NM system similar to the ZNMs. I think it should run on GC points though and not levecards that regenerate with time. With Zeni you had to go out and snap a bunch of pictures and build up points. This wasn't the best system for sure, but it still made you work for your pop item by accumulating points. There's already a point system in place with your grand company, so it's a natural translation.

FFXII-Style Mob Hunt Please.

FFXII-Style Mob Hunt Please.

That would be cool.

Have like a daily (weekly?) Mark board put up. Hunt down X NM. Lets get some deeper, more in-depth posts/ideas on this. This would definitely be neat.

Plus it would cater some NM/HNM's to our instanced content fans!

That would be a cool way to get company seals....

That made me remember when they announced Guild Boards, making everyone excited that it would be like FFXII marks system ...

The new Grand Company rewards for NM loot is kinda similar to this, though in a much inferior way. That could be expanded and tweaked to be more fun, focused and have exclusive NM's / HNM's / rewards.

It is relatively similar, but hopefully it will be expanded upon in 2.0

Would be very cool to be able to have a centralized spot in all major cities (possibly minor outlying cities eventually) that have boards with certain marks that can be accepted by players. These Marks can be as simple as killing lower level NM's, and as you complete marks you can work toward killing large, more vicious marks.

Would be neat to have random, secret marks pop up at random in various cities, that require you to pay for "secret information" leading you to mysterious, rare, and powerful marks (HNM's).

Would also be cool to have Certain Mark Boards that require parties, and possibly alliances built in order to accept certain Marks due to difficulty levels.

/signed for HNMs

My only request is some of the HNMs drop items to be crafted into gear (like currently). Also HNMs are fun in general, but I think force popped HNMs would be nice to keep things from being over camped.

Thanks for your support sir

We want forced pop too! But we also want Open-World Roaming NM's, purely instanced NM's, structured tiered NM systems (ZNM-ish), Lottery Spawn, Level Style, etc etc

We don't want to limit the game to just one system, we want as much as we can get in terms of content to cater to everyone!

But back to the point on hand:

FFXII - NM Hunt type NM/HNM system. (Put a Mark Board in every city and have NM's selected to be hunted for rewards/exp.)
