Dan Tests: Advancement Method REDUCTION
Comments
Nah that's too baby spoon fed even imo. Just trying to eliminate some redundancy.
I am talking about dan 3 where you have to pass with SS rank 2 times. What I am proposing is that be reduced to just once. You're still required to do it but you don't have to rank SS twice. Let me know if you require further explanation.
Yeah it's overkill, it's hard enough to get SS rank even once. So I believe you should only have to do it once. I mean they don't make you pass your driver's license test twice to get your license. lol.
THE DIAMOND DAN 2 times SSS grade at 15000 and give us 5.5 minutes.
jokes aside
While I can agree somewhat with the driver's license analogy, I would argue that a driver's license isn't exactly an "achievement"
If I have dan 3, I want to be COOLER and STRONGER than the person who couldn't manage dan 3.
I just wish they would let us take more than 1 test per day cause I have nothing to do after doing all my dailies.
Calling it a SKILL to have obtained Dan 3 rather than LUCK is a serious mis-nomer.
Make it LESS LUCK-based (too much dice-rolling involved) and MORE SKILL-BASED (one example-game that is much closer to purely skill-based is chess and should be something more chess-like). Now that's just silly; you could still do the stuff in this spoilers-list...:

➡ etc
➡ PTJs are on-going and can be repeated every 36m per earth-day
➡ Squires complete their stats-training every 36 earth-minutes
➡ Rare (or at least semi-rare) materials (such as those wabbit-pelts for home-stead pet-rest stations) consume a LOT of hunting time with endless re-spawn cycles
➡ The missions to obtain Echo-Stones require many repetitions to get optimum stats-rolls
➡ Alban-Training Missions also take some time to get decent drops
➡ The Arc-Lich Sketching Exploration-Quest frequently takes a few hours for maximum Exploration-Levels
➡ Re-listing fast-selling products for sale onto the A-H can also take some maintenance-time
➡ Replenishing fast-selling wares to re-list onto the A-H can also take up daily maintenance-time
➡ The amount of endless back-to-back-to-back Events also adds further to daily activities...
I obviously need to find more people with «nothing to do» so that I can get them to do my menial-tasks...
(Although in reality I will probably go the self-learning artificial-intelligence robots route for my maids/butlers/etc)
we're talking about the number of times you need to do it.
it's also not entirely luck dependent imo. sure luck makes it easier but it boils down to how well you know AI and skills.
Only a few skills (lrod, magnum, probably something else) are mostly luck based.
Only worthwhile event so far has been black combo card but they put a limit on points after level 12, so .. like ok that was lame.
I don't know any worthwhile PTJs unless you're farming holy water and holy flame. Also, I don't really count that towards stuff to do since you just dig for potatoes for about 30 seconds and wait 5 minutes.
I haven't seen a single person do alban in ages
AH... no that's just not a daily task to do.
Hunting for mats when afk events pop them out by the dozens? I have stacks and stacks of fynn mats that I don't need. Prices are worthless so can't be bothered to sell.
I'm talking about daily things with more of a sense of achievement compared to mindless tasks.
I don't really think there's anything wrong with the dan tests right now. sux if u cant do em but others can so i dont see a problem here
It's not a matter of whether one can do them or not, it's about reducing the dan test for each level to pass it once and done. Why do we have to do it twice? It's irritating, especially if by some miracle you pass the dan test for magnum shot dan 3 once. Then you have to do it AGAIN??? No, just no. Get rid of that bs!
I don't care if we had those advancement tickets, I still want this implemented.
If you think that's bad you should see what it's like from outside North America.
But in many countries, when you're old, you need to resit a driving test every year or two to keep your license. So unless you want to have to redo the Dan tests to keep the Dan level, this is probably not a good analogy to use.
All the more reason.
