Incentivize More People to Queue for Leveling Dungeons

[Ultimatecalibur]

The problem isn't really incentivizing roulettes more than they already do; tanks get free mounts, healers and tanks get the adventurer-in-need bonus when applicable, they have a higher chance of more comms, etc. The problem is just A) too many people queue as damage dealers who don't want to tank or heal, and B) when applying to anything but Expert roulette, you risk losing all of the abilities you've been obtaining since you started your class, which just feels bad.

It is not just that. I personally don't have a problem with losing abilities when I queue for roulettes, but I'm not doing them because I feel the current rewards are just not worth it. I'm perfectly fine getting Sastasha in a Leveling Roulette, but only if I felt it was worth my time.

Currently the Daily Roulette rewards are the following:

• XP? Multiple other sources many with comparable XP/Time rates while also giving out other rewards that I am more interested in.
• Gil? It is a nice bonus but not a primary reason to run content.
• GC Seals? Gear turn ins far outweigh the paltry amount of Seals given by the Leveling and Guildhest roulettes. A single Trust run of the Grand Cosmos would give far more.
• Poetics? I already have full sets of i130, i270 and i400 gear and weapons for all jobs. Also a large number of alternative sources.
• Goetia? Locked to level 80 jobs and A and S rank hunts give plenty.
• Phantasmagoria? Same as Goetia, but cap out quickly.
• Stellaclusters and Planiclusters? A and S rank Hunts are a better source.

Phantasmagoria is the primary reason to do Roulettes at 80 but it is really easy to cap them out. 5 days of Expert Roulettes will do so or 2 days if you do every roulette but Mentor that gives Phantasm out. This is not even accounting for other sources of Phantasm like Beast Tribes (Pixies give 15 a day for 105 each week), A/S rank hunts and Maps. Someone who has either all 80s or only feels like leveling a few jobs to 80 currently has little reason to do roulettes once they cap Phantasm.

My suggestion on how to improve the roulette rewards:

• After reaching level 71 the several Roulettes should give out between 10 and 20 Bicolor Gemstones as part of their daily reward. This will still maintain FATEs as the primary source of Bicolor Gemstones, but give another incentive to run them.
• At level 80, a daily quest in Elumore or Crystarium would give out a Unique tradable solo Map that can be listed on the marketboard for completing a random non-Mentor/Frontline/Guildhest roulette. Map rewards would contain standard map rewards and a chance of getting a rare Unhidden Zonsureskin Map with a 100% of summoning a portal to Lyhe Ghiah.
