Guild Wars 2

In Guild Wars 1 there was a mechanic where you could do storyline events repeatedly. You could get books from a vender for free then each time you did a storyline event it filled a page on a book in your inventory. Each book had only one page for each event. if you did the event multiple times in a row you needed multiple books in your inventory to get credit for each one. When a book was filled up, it could be turned in for exp, cash and advancement towards a title. Partial books could be turned in for partial rewards.

Maybe if this game had a system somewhat like that. If you could go back to areas you have already completely explored and do DEs and fill in a book for each different one done. The book would need to have a listing of the available events. When you turn the book in, you get exp, money and karma that is scaled to your real level. For increased rewards, maybe an option to down level yourself more than a regular player.

I think this would encourage players to revisit old areas and redo events.

i liked the idea in gw1, it took me busy, but i would like also dungeon books, personal story books and so on, i would like to turn those for skins, or weapons or something else than the usual exp, karma, coins (this already happen when you complete the events).
(for dungeon it is also a nice track of your progress since i forgot which path i did where)

Maybe if when you turn in a book, it gives you different rewards depending on who you gave it to. Either money, exp, karma, or progress in some way toward a weapon or armor skin depending on the person you gave it to.

Now this could be an epic requirement for obtaining a Legendary Component:

Completely fill every ‘log’ in the game, and hand them in.

Other possible books:

• Bestiary
• Dungeons (Story and Explorable needed)
• JP / Vista / Mini-dungeon / Skill Point (Exploration based)
• Hearts (Re-doable Hearts make sense in some cases)
• Guild Mission

Other possible rewards:

• Crafting mats (the more you fill in, the higher the tier you can buy i.e. x unique events will get you a shard, while y unique events will get you a lodestone)

Storybooks need to make a comeback, for a lot of things.

+1 from me, because no matter how they do it, it can’t be wrong.
