Beast Tribes Are Awesome!!!!!

[Swampking]

When I first tried this game I honestly believe this game would be a dumb anime game. Boy I was wrong and I’m glad I was! This game is what wow should be from is quest to the best developers I’ve ever seen in the game. Even the garrison and followers that can join you in dungeons make me so happy. But the one thing that made me love this game more is the beast tribes quest. When I first fought the primal and beast tribes a question began to stir in my head. “Are there any good beast tribe?” And when I went to the maelstrom the quest for beast tribe answered my question. I thought these quest was going to be grindy and I almost did not do it but I discovered you can get toys, mounts, and paints. I then decided to just choice kolbolds and sahgin because I like there stuff more but when I discovered the grind is not bad and each beast tribe has their own story I had to do them all. Yesterday I finished the slyphs beast tribe and now I’m at the ixals or bird people. I believe since this one is all about crafting it would be long and boring but again I was proven wrong again. I did the first quest and I love how easy the crafting and big leveling you can do for crafting with ixals. Im hoping if I can one of my jobs to 50 I can get my artifact axes quest done. Who ever came up with beast tribe quest needs a clap on the back for a job well done!

I liked a few of them. The Ixal stuff was a surprise for me also

Which ones are your favorite?

Haven't done any of the ARR beast tribes. The rest I have finished. I liked Namazu, Rat and Dwarves the most

Which ones are your favorite?

Sylphs, because I love Gridania and think they're adorable.

When you finish all the ARR tribes you get a bonus quest chain. And if I remember right (someone correct me) when you finish all the storm blood tribes that quest chain sort of continues/concludes.



They really could just have the quest chain and then the dailies after the chain after each expansion though. The ARR xp is not good at all. The other tribes are decent for xp if you lvl more then one job.

I like the beast tribe mechanic quite a bit. I was impressed at the final stage of the pixie area, though I wish it was more interactive or had some more things in it (not many reasons to visit once done, even less than a normal tribe space since the shop wasn't in that area... but the space was really cool).

I was thinking in general but it could be for a specific tribe I guess, being able to use the tokens to upgrade and addon facilities. That either have functions to gameplay in some way, fun gimmicks like dwarves launching you out of a cannon that acts as a one way mini-atheryte system for the whole zone, or adds items to the shop once unlocked. Particularly SE might add facilities as you get through MSQ and such (like a shared FATE rank, another beast tribe, side quest, etc). So you might have some extra upgrades to do after max rank- a purpose to continue them beyond the small amount of tomes or consumable to sell, and then later in another expansion they might get temporary prods of value revival.

One suggestion of a facility feature was perhaps being able to smooth out some relic progression, like say the light step for the relic where people just spam that easy dungeon unsync over and over and over- rather you might upgrade the slyph area so there is a flowing fountain from one of the trees which you might be able to bathe a relic within, in exchange for tokens or at interval. Or you might buy a bright dew sprout (item) that when carried will bloom when you gain light, which you can consume for bonus light (increasing your effectiveness of the farming). Of course minions, mounts, and music lol. Plus I think being able to upgrade the area is always fun, and this way you've some more value in those tokens. All of this could relate to new unlocks / features for your island too. May also consider using another tribe's tokens, such that like the moogles are helped by the ixali or something (where it makes sense and looks / feels good).

Though with all the different types of relationships I wonder if they could find means of combining things in the UI like delivery quests, beast tribes, fate level, and such into a master relationship tab or something. Making all of it a bit easier / consolidated to navigate (and keep adding to them :3). I generally enjoy the relationship building type content (that FFXIV has, I know WoW has some really extreme ones that are also exclusive to each other and I don't want that).

Final tangent, lol, would be if the island sanctuary does well I feel a hamlet like content for FC could be really fun, and in this the whole relationships concept could exist too (technically FC already have a tab for it, though it's not really used to any notable extent). So in context of beast tribe players on behalf of their FC could do beast tribe content to foster a relationship between the FC and tribe (adding revisit value of some sort).

The Ixali story is one of my all-time favorites. There's just something special about working to give the sky back to them.

Your enthusiasm is welcomed, glad you are enjoying them. I thought the Namazu tribe was very funny. Wasshoi!

I'm still trying to figure out why a clan of lalafells is a beast tribe, but whatever they gave me a tank.
