Problem: Achievements

[darkstarpoet1]

i was in same boat as you and look where i am at now,. i got them, if i can do it so can you

i wasn't saying it was wrong. i was pointing out the complete fallacy they were trying to point out as a fact. they stated if you did it yourself you would have already had them so i pointed out it was false. i've been working towards them myself. i only have 3 tools so far, but i've been slowly working my way towards them.

just had to straighten out a lie that stuff you did crafting and gathering from games release until now all count towards the achievement, which we both know is incorrect. it was a correction in this statement in theit post:

"They can't have it at just 4k in 1 spot, most people who played since 2010-2012 will most likely have their tool if they gathered for their synthesis rather than buy or they were already near it given how spread out and varied resources used to be."

hmm didnt know someone said all the crafting counted, i know someone said certain leves counted(and they also said oners that didnt count did too) but didnt see the other posts

also i know for gathering alot of people completely skipped certain areas(especialy when you could gather said items in coerthas instead of one of the main 3 zones) so theyd be missing alot there too, but oh well

How is making me go for 4,000 gatherings at each area done through time, same with levequest? That has to be sought after, the problem is, no one is doing it. i will say, people are doing the 4,000 gatherings, because a item, or something they think is worthwhile is being obtained. For most of the achievements I was talking about, this simply isn't true.

If you level goldsmith you will use electrum, and possibly gold, if you lvl blacksmith you willl use iron and cobalt.

If you SB alot with miner and goldsmith leveled you will go through alot of electrum ores to make ingots, if you are an archer and make your own arrows you will go through alot of cobalt ores, and for both of those easily hit 4k.

Or if you are going for gil, currently both NQ electrum and cobalt sell for 3k each, thats over 300k a stack, go out and mine 4k times for both and you will be swimming in gil. I have Mining your own business: Thanalan V, all from wanting to make gil and now I'm going for my lumi.

Some achievements should be impossible... it a hard way to be a hero

I think we could do with more achievements sought actively, which are not long term instead they should be reasonable, and which have useful rewards that in themselves would make you seek after these achievements. This could include:

1. Defeat one of every monster type in the world (and at the same time compile your own bestiary/widget) (or even increase this to defeat 100/500/1000 of each monster type in the world) (with useful rewards such as increased attack or defence against that monster type toggable by equipping an achievement title)

2. Defeat NM and if it drops its item then you get the achievement (this could tie into player housing later on, letting people have a stuffed head/carcas of an NM for their home lol)

3. Synthesize one of every item/recipe from 1-50 for your craft (and at the same time compile your own recipe book/widget)

4. Discover all items obtainable by gathering per area (and at the same time you would fill in a gathering index/widget) (quite easy, so lets bump that up to gather 100/200/etc of each item) (it would be similar to the current gathering achievements, but when broken down into these smaller chunks it doesnt have that "oh god..." feeling)

Looks like the OP hasn't checked out the Hamlet Defense Achievements. *cough*complete each hamlet defense 5,000 times*cough*

Yeah, I should have mentioned that one. That is definitely not feasible. But maybe Hamlet will be more important later on.

Needless to say I agree with you.

These are basically "grats you played this game too long" achievements. What's the big deal there's a ton more and they mean absolutely nothing for the most part anyway.

I know someone who got 200k seals in under a week, all of the achievements are fair and completely possible. It's not like xbawks live where you get achievements for every cutscene you watch.
