EndGame FATE improvement

[Mumalot]

If you do a FATE as a lvl80... since you're getting 0xp essentially, you should get either more BicolorGemstones and/or 5-10 "2ndBest tomestone" (or even "BEST tomestone").

Just a little something extra to help attract more FATErunners.
OR could make it so the ForlornMaiden buff affects BicolorGemstones reward as well.

Edit: SE already does this with roulettes... if you do a roulette@80, you get "BESTtomes" instead of XP. But FATEs are easypeasy, so I'd think "2ndBest tomestone" as a reward wouldn't be that much of a stretch.

**Currently, as of 2/12:
BestTomestone = Phanta
2ndBestTomestone = Goatia

Agreed. I've got a similar thread up about this in General Discussion -

There needs to be something to make them worth doing at level cap. Tomestones, more bicolor gemstones, a gil bonus, something. The shared FATE system was a step in the right direction, and I hope they continue to add to it with something other than every other patch adding an extra item to buy, and then you go back to ignoring them.

You already got a nice gil bonus reselling orchestrion rolls on the market board to people too lazy to farm fates. Getting more bicolor gemstones would mean these prices would drop, and even less people doing fates because less to gain from them. As for tomestones i dont see SE adding them to fates when some players are already complaining of hunts rewards draining too much people from daily roulettes.

Plus fates are already super easy, the last thing we need is even more badly synched lvl 80 players facerolling them even faster.

Instead of waving more carrots rewards in front of maxed players to incite them to go back doing a leveling content, i feel like there is a lack of true end game. Some kind of lvl 80 fates which could appear on all maps, more difficult than the leveling ones and with more varied mechanics so that they can be entertaining, but not to the point of being impossible to do without dozens of players like Formidable or Archaeotania. Oh, and of course add some exclusive carrots rewards to that too, since a lot of people need that to do something.

[DrWho2010]

what kinds of rewards can you possibly add for a fate that's more than a regular one but less than Formidable/Archaeotania? it's either people will do it once for the reward or it's just another fate that no one will do.

Pretty sure this was covered for you in the other thread.
