Thread: Hunting Log ARR ~ 2.0

I would love them if they had some sort of Beastiary library. It can be empty at first and will fill out with information as you encounter mobs/NM's. So that you can look up information about them later.

As you fight them and do certain attacks on them the stats on the results from it will populate in the log. In the end you should have a very detailed log.

Only if the Portal robotic voice is there to tell you the mob's info

They said on their road map found here: http://lodestone.finalfantasyxiv.com...er/index2.html that beta phase one will implement Hunting Log, but that is pretty much all that is said about it. It very well could be a mob information log with mobs you encountered, with details as to what they drop, their weaknesses, HP, MP, magic and so on. I'm still hoping myself its some kind of NM event XD

What they drop and, importantly imo, how often they drop it. For me, drop rates influenced where farming was most efficiently done, which was something worth wiki-ing if you intended a six-hour binge.

And, from that, the Hunting Log needs to be searchable by items dropped, so that can be compared reasonably quickly.

I'm all for drops only showing if you've personally received them and the drop rates listed being actual representations of the loot you've received, rather than the actual figure.
