    Job Completion Rewards

    One thing I was really thrilled with in the early game was hitting CNJ 30 and getting the quest that gave a unicorn mount. And I found out later that Tanks had some mounts they could get from doing duties. But then I was dismayed to find it was about the only such reward (save arguably Bard Performance and gear) that was tied to a specific job. There are a bunch of emote, mount, and minion ideas I can think of that would be great as rewards for hitting various milestones, either as actual achievement rewards or as the prize for a new sidequest. Here's my own list (besides the emotes I listed here) - anyone feel similarly or have anything else to add?

    MCH: Bishop and Rook Autoturret Minions after level 80. Since you can't use the turrets themselves after you unlock the Queen (or use Bishop outside PVP anyways), it'd be cool to have minions for them.
    WHM: Elemental minion. The little elementals that flit around in cutscenes (and buff you in Eureka), specifically. It'd be cool to have one that chooses to follow you around and study you.
    MNK: Greased Lightning Aura Fashion Accessory. This was removed in 5.4(?) when they made GL a trait instead of a status you had to maintain. It'd be cool to add it back in as an accessory you could use for poses (with accessory actions being some of the MNK moves as emotes).
    DRG: Blood of the Dragon Aura Accessory. Second verse, same as the first.

    I'll post others if I think of any, but I leave the floor open to others.

    Not directly related to what you're suggesting but I always felt it was a missed opportunity not having a "relic" weapon chain capstone with a job themed mount.

    Also rather than accessories I feel it should be emotes. Accessories have too many limitations.

    So I specifically went with Accessories to allow for using certain moves as emotes, similar to the rain dance on the parasols. I didn't want them to be emotes specifically because we couldn't then do anything else. It does mean we can't use them in dungeons outside explorer mode, but it's still more flexible, IMO.

    The alternative would be to give us accessories that can glam on and replicate the auras, but I don't see that happening.

    The real job completion rewards are the friends you made along the way.

    The point of tank mounts is to make people tank instead of DPS always. Healers could use some similar mounts because they are equally in demand as well.

    In other news, there is no technical debt from 1.0.
    "We don't have ... a technological issue that was carried over from 1.0, because ARR was meant to kind of discard what we had from 1.0 and rebuild it from the engine."

    Don't most people cheese those so they ultimately have minimal effect on queues/PF anyway?

    That's a cool idea. With Dancer, they could have a specific dance emote of just Improvisation's animation loop, like they do in many of the Dancer quest cutscenes.

    I think it would be nice to have more rewards tied to jobs that aren't just Artifact sets and weapons.

    What if the next Deep Dungeon soloing achievement reward would be a moogle minion dressed like the job?

    That soloing thing sounds nuts.... but I'm not against it.

    I like the Improv as persistent emote, too. Definitely would work as a capstone emote for them.

    Thats the problem with mounts, healers get one, for a Dark Knight, Gunbreaker or Paladin, wishing for a mount the same way is a tankless effort.
