More Items like XP Task Items Would Populate the Frontiers

The XP Task items are a good way to bring players out into the frontiers. The XP task items are highly sought after, because they help players level to 50 as fast as possible.

Why not have other task items that are farmable in the Frontiers? What about task items that give feather bonus % buffs? Get gold rewards for turning in task items. Turn in task items or kill certain mobs and get realmwide buffs. I think it would be cool to have items level 50s need to farm in the Frontiers. It's kind of frustrating all the level 50 farming is in dungeons currently, especially since players don't always have access to them.

The goal of all these task systems are to populate the frontiers.

The PvE tasks could server that purpose, but the rewards are only a 5% xp bonus. They also are random like kill 2500 plants or kill 2500 creatures. The XP task item system where players populate certain locations is much better.

Having a treasures spawn across the frontiers could help with this also.

There needs to be more incentives for players to populate the frontiers. The game is better when multiple frontiers have population, not just the realm task zone I feel.

Why not? More bait would cause the Stealthers to spread out more.

It's not a good idea to make sub optimal players (and especially casuals) be forced to go out into the frontiers to XP/level up. This was tried on Uthgard, and all it does is feed the wolves with sheep.

This server is easy enough to level on, that you won't need to go out to the frontiers until you're pretty much ready to go, and it won't take THAT long to get out there. The real grind in this game SHOULD be the realm rank grind, and that's why people should be going out into the frontiers.

IMHO.

I am talking about items for level 50 players to farm. It is optional, but gives players more options. Having frontiers be empty, because everyone is doing the realm task is not a good thing. Frontiers are populated because of incentives.

Yes keep takes and relic raids help frontier activity, but offering even more ways to being players into the frontiers is a good thing.

Isn't the incentive to be in the frontier to RvR? Isn't that the point of this game for the bulk of the players? Especially on a faster XP server.

OF is really big. It is important to spread the action throughout the zones, but obviously not too much. You need to give specific goals for why players be in the frontiers othan just the concept of RvR.

to populate frontier with 45+ weak and give RP to steathler?? bad idea...

lvl 50 don't need to farm xp items, this items are not designed to be farmed by 50 to be sold !
i really think this items need to be unlootable after level of use requirement...

I am talking about items that level 50s would need. Turn in task items and earn gold, feathers, potions etc..

Making farming in the frontiers more rewarding for level 50 players. Would be cool if there were treausure chests that spawned in the frontiers.

Someththing that solo or small man groups can farm when not doing realm tasks.

I just think that there needs to be more reasons and fun ways to bring people out into the frontier zones.

If it's easy enough to level, don't go out into the frontier to farm XP item. But, there's no way you need to take that away or add more to, for those that like to level and farm XP items in frontier zones..
