    please balance seals per hour

    Totorok is a really good way to make seals, that being said it makes everything else a waste of time. Leves being the biggest joke of coarse.

    increase seals for leves
    allow us to choose what leve we want
    increase seals for caravan
    increase drop rate in dark hold
    also allow solo entry into totorok

    as is now, i wouldn't mind doing GC leves solo if receiving 100 seals for 15 mins of my life wasn't such an insult to my humanity.

    Please SE, make the adjustments.

    i think 2k an hour should be what you aim for when considering balance, but thats my opinion.


    EDIT: wanted to add this about leves
    If i had to guess, id say leves are the easiest "content" to create in this game, or any game for that matter. Why we have 3 leves for a lvl 40+ camp is beyond me. It seemed like when SE added the no time limit leve they had plans to expand the system, now it just seems half done and abandoned. Please introduce more leves with a selectable leve UI and tiered reward for ranks.

    I concur that some adjustment would be a good idea. (o.0 ) I just discard the fifteen minute leves that I get, and cycle them until I get a hunt-the-snurble/eyeball leve at Halitali - the longer ones are simply not worth the time involved.

    Of course, once I began doing Toto-Rak spam, I never bothered with anything else. o_O Definitely agree with OP that some tweaking is in order.

    so the new GC item is 25000 seals, the only means to solo seals is leves and NM's, leves being the faster choice. So that would take 250 leves to get enough seals to buy this massive seal sink.

    I dont mind some leves being 100 seals, but allow us to choose from a list, and give more seals to higher ranked leves please.

    I think company leves just need to be re-done entirely... The ones that force you into 15 minutes of absolute bore-fest for a handful of seals are a complete joke.

    2k per hour is too much IMO. It would make all the company gear WAAAAAAAY too cheap to obtain. Half that would be awesome though.

    I can get about 3k seal from toto rak in a hr =/ can do 3 or 4 speed runs in that time. That's exactly why the op is asking for balance. Choco escorts take far to long for an 120-225 seal reward, but its better than leves cause you can do it in 8 mins.

    half that is were is at right now, and totorok is over 2k an hour which is what everyone does anyways...

    do 4 caravans an hour 1k

    do 10 of the 5 min leves 1k

    average dark hold loot by members in party (cause not everyone's getting something each time, 1k +or-

    farm 5 drops from a low lvl nm, if your lucky 1k

    do totorok for one hour 3k

    sure a decent GC gear is 6500, but don't forget that you have to spend like 20k seals to be eligible for it and they keep adding seal sinks in game like this 25k book thingy or whatever it is.

    I'd just like to see leves be performance-based like non-GC leves. Why do I have to spend 15 full minutes waiting for mobs to spawn if I can kill them that quick?

    I think that's what makes them so boring, that we spend most of those 15 minutes waiting for stuff to spawn. If we kill quick, they should spawn quick and the Leve should end sooner resulting in more seals per hour for those that earn them.

    I see. I haven't done totorak to exploit it for seals. I heard you get a lot but didn't think it was 3k/hr. (Yes I think that separating from the party so you can get all the drops is an exploit, because it's clearly not an intended mechanic.)

    That being said, I think they should increase the amount you can get via leves and choco escort and fix the totorak exploit.

    like i said above, i dont mind them as an intro leve fr recruit status, but i want to pick from a list that offer different rewards. i dont want to have to pick the one that pops. If they cant do a list then id agree to have the time limit removed. there are leves with no time limit, and they are for promoted players which i thought was a nice start, but i still have to accept those horrid 15 mins leves when they pop.
