There are also two new Extreme difficulty fights against Primal superbosses, though they seem a bit easier than previous Extreme fights--People are already clearing them with odd party compositions. These new Primal fights are against Bismarck and Ravana. Bismarck gives item-level 175 weapons and the Ravana fight gives i190 weapons; after a long drought of meaningful rewards from the Extreme Primals in A Realm Reborn, it’s refreshing to see these fights housing the best weapons currently in the game. There is also a return of elite monster Hunts in the expansion with the new Centurio Seal as a reward for killing A-rank and S-rank monsters. Centurio Seals are one of the most important endgame currencies, so Hunts are (for better or worse) insanely popular at the moment. A Realm Reborn suffered a bit from the toxic culture that can develop around this highly competitive game feature, with some players feeling jilted when they miss a hunt and others feeling left out for all the out-of-game coordination that others use to monopolize the process. It’s somewhat surprising to see Hunts take on such importance after the issues in A Realm Reborn; if you hated the system in the base game, be warned that it’s important to the combat endgame again. Even with disparate flaws and an intimidating grind for alt Jobs after your main Job has reached Level 60, Heavensward still presents a better RPG experience than A Realm Reborn. The story is much better, presentation is at an all-time high, and the dungeons are all a lot of fun. The grind will probably decrease in time, too--I suspect the main reason for it is to stop people from maxing out too fast then complaining there is no content to complete. With more content, including a new hardcore raid, just around the corner, it’s difficult to concretely saw how important the more pernicious aspects of the game, like the Hunts, will be in the long run. We must look at the present moment, to today. What we have is a gorgeous, stirring, mechanically solid, feature-rich expansion to what is, by my money, the best MMO in years.
