Hello! This is just an idea I had, no pressure whatsoever to implement this. When I built the training grounds, I thought the missions would be similar to the Barracks in the other zones, where I leave my pets there for a while and they come back stronger. One of the hardest challenges in the game is getting pets' abilities to rank up, so I was looking forward to an opportunity to "hands-off" rank up pets, since I personally don't have a ton of time to battle! Would it be feasible to have a feature where pets can take on missions to rank up their abilities? I imagine a lot of players would love this feature, since it allows more pets to be actively used in parties, and newer players to catch up so they can participate in more events.

I support this idea.

No support. Ranking isnt supposed to be easy, if you want easy there are people that sell ranked pets and people that rank. Having a feature like this would devalue the time put into ranking yourself and those that paid for ranked pets... it would seed discord amoung players. Again no support

So, I'm going to preface this with saying that I tend to dislike grinding away in the Lost Grove, so I get why a 'hands off' ranking opportunity would be desirable. However, as Kaitt said, there are ways to have your pet ranked without you having to do it yourself already, and in a way that retains the value of how difficult ranking is. So, for that part of the suggestion, I would say no support.

However, I wouldn't mind seeing some hands off missions that work the same way as those in the previous areas do, in that you send some pets off on those missions, and when they come back you get mission satchels that hold gold and various items. Maybe even add in 24 hour missions that scale up those rewards. And yes, they could still award experience, and maybe they could award a few of the new barracks currency. I think that in itself would be enticing to run the missions from the barracks.

So, to recap: I support the idea of missions in the lost grove that are similar to the earlier areas, but do not support the idea of them helping pets to rank.

As someone who ranks those pets to be sold or ranks for cash, I am so on board with this idea. I don't think this really devalues it at all, and it would make it so much easier for rankers-for-hire. Even if it's in little increments, it would very much help.

I think maybe instead of the satchels the barrack missions can give a little bit of rank points, like 00.05% per daily and 00.10% for weekly tasks? Then it would still be within a reasonable range for the effort that we put in, but would help the players who aren't doing well with fighting.
