    Of course, all the hamlet suppliers want is making it top 20 and not increasing hamlet level, so eh.
    if nothing else phase 3 should be easily attainable. You'll get more points over all form more kills probably more NM's plus a x3 multiplier, so i wouldn't be surprised to hit 100k in phase 3 alone.

    The thing about it is, we already get the gold chest from level 2 hamlets. Unless the gold chest in the level 3 hamlets is somehow different it won't make a difference because points past 50k are seemingly worthless at the moment.

    Either way, the content is unrewarding and that is the main problem. Sure its going to be cool to get the hamlet diggers hat and all that good stuff, but by the time we get even 2 of these promissary notes the entire party will more than likely have every decent item from the hamlet. It is kind of how like with the dungeons, at this point about 90% of the linkshells doing aurum vale and cutters cry have long gotten past the point where they need any non darklight drops from the dungeons meaning the market is being flooded with them and their value is so much less than they should be. The same exact thing is going to happen with the hamlet defense, everyone who wants the non seals are going to have them and theres going to be absolutely no reason to do the content outside of getting the seals.

    The only possible thing I can think that they will do to counter act this feeling of worthless content at this point is by making the beastmen currency that is for some reason mysteriously dropping from the chests even though it has no use, have a use that is related to getting seals outside of the event.

    And one final thing, to everyone saying we were complaining about this being the "hard to do" content we are looking for, this isn't hard to do, hamlet defense is a joke, the only thing that will make these things rare is the fact they have ridiculous requirements to get and the rng in this game is a piece of garbage.

    Being top 20 I think only adds like 3k points. Not that big of a deal.

    it also allows you a chance at one of the many secondary tools and a few jewelry drops that the chest doesnt drop
    but the misconception ALOT of people have is that ALL the gear comes from only top 20 drops...

    Ya just to agree with you, lots of items still drop from chest. We've been getting red chest non stop and have gotten about 8 Militia items so far. Never had 1 person in top twenty yet.

    Since the 25k item can stack. We can only assume you will have to do this for each job as well.

    Time to start picking your "Main Job".

    This would only be bad if you just do PUGs all the time. It's really not so bad if you take each person from your group and build their seals. The downside is the time and effort for just one person. However, like others have said, if these weapons are as good as SE hinted to early on about them, it's a hell of a lot better than building a relic weapon.

    Unless.... these are like relics and this is only for the base weapon lol

    whats funny is some shells have gotten 10+ seals already and its only been a week, and im sure if they worked at keeping hamlets at level 2 more often theyd probly have even more in some cases

    its gonna be something you have to work for, sorry to tell everyone, if you dont wanna work for it, much like achievements, then DONT
