Please add Behemoth items that don't suck.

[GilbertLapine]

So, the behemoth items appear to be solely for vanity, since the stats are about on-par with AF gear but level req is 50, and there are no vanity slots yet in the game... so what gives? Seems like defeating behemoth is worth something more than a worthless trinket.

At least a custom pet or barding would be nice, though SE appears to have painted themselves into a corner with that one (see CE items). Something worthwhile would be nice.. as of right now I have no reason to even spend my behemoth horns since all it would do is eat up an inventory slot.

Bump for justice!

baby behemoth looks like a purple baby pig with a mullet. behemoth looks more feline lion/panther i would say. i dont see the resemblance.

+1 for the OP. odin is worthwhile - behemoth not so much >.>

[Gelesto]

+1 for the massive necro bump

Not gonna lie. I do love the Behemoth Helm. It's kind-of my trademark these days, especially since 2.2.

The Behemoth and Odin FATEs are no challenge whatsoever; it's just one big mount race + zergfest once someone broadcasts that the FATE is up. The current rewards are fine.

Now if they want to add a Minstrel's Ballad: The Dark Divinity and a Minstrel's Ballad: The Behemoth, and give better rewards for those, I'm all for it.

the spear Thundercloud from behemoth suck, imo. While the odin's zantetsuken have fancy look & animation when enter combat mode, the thundercloud have nothing

It's interesting that Behemoth's token rewards are analogs to the FFXI Behemoth and King Behemoth drops, including the Defending Ring. Yet, while the Defending Ring in XI was a viable option for quite a long time, in XIV the Ring of Lasting Shelter is quickly outclassed. It's a shame that these items should be relegated to vanity status, though at least they may remain desirable for that reason.

Perhaps there could be something like XI's HNM spawns, where occasionally a higher-level King Behemoth appears instead of the regular Behemoth. Since King Behemoth is already located in Crystal Tower, perhaps there could be another variety, such as Great Behemoth or Humbaba? It could drop Behemoth Horns at a greater rate, and new items which require larger quantities of tokens could be added. As for Odin, perhaps he just needs a level cap raise? Lv.60 Odin gets burned down fairly quickly now that iLv. 100+ gear exists.
