Please don't discuss the removal of AD as such here, use the thread on main board for that.
This thread is for discussing Leadership after AD was removed.One feedback from me:
Please reassess Leadership timers and possibly reward ordering. As it is the level 23 task takes 4 hours and basically gives the same reward as the level 25 task that takes 1 day.
This needs to be revisited.
Comments
- Guard Young Noble on Trip (4 hours)
- Battle Elemental Cultists (1 Day)
- Provide Security for Pilgrims (Rare - 8 hours)
Each of these provide the same rewards. There's no need for the 2nd version. The big 1 day task rewards could be replaced with a Stronghold Voucher (chance, varies).Neverwinter Wonderland

What could be done to improve the profession:
1 - Increase crafting exp gains by 400% and remove the training tasks (the ones that give only crafting exp and nothing else) so you always progress while getting something out of leadership and puts the profession on par with others in terms of advancement speed.
2 - Increase gold gains by 100%.
3 - Revisit all chests rewards. Most of them give useless junk that only clutter the inventory. Each chest (depending on its "tier") should give an option to get stronghold vouchers or refinement gems (white pearl, peridot, aquamarine and so on).
4 - Additional rewards for Level 25 battle elemental cultists: one tarmalune trade bar. Chest reward updated to be better than level 23 4 hour task one.
And give us Stronghold vouchers!
Oh, what about something like, unique refining items, like the Wonders of Gond items. And they're BTC. And you can keep refining, say, a magical horse. And when you finish refining it, you get a unique mount?
Basically, by doing this, you can award large scale items incrementally, by having players perform tasks. This, obviously, wouldn't have to be limited to Leadership.
you're at it.
-remove the 3 assignments limit in leadership, there's almost no ad so it's useless now to have it in there.
-remove bound to character items completely and make them bound to account.
Give people a reason to buy more character-slots
make the level 25 leadership 1 day quest reward a crate of mark for shanadar/dreadring/type boon mark that is account bound.
I'd add new quests with a "mystery" reward chest which could be 1 copper for even a chance at an epic item (using epic leadership materials) similar to the other quests were you can add pieces to better your chance at a 'rank 3' outcome
All you get for all the time and effort, is the same box you would have gotten at level 23. So why would anyone want to continue on to Max it to 25.
Currently any of the crafts give you the option to craft some pretty decent gear at its max level. That is providing you have two major components in your bags.
One item is a Unified Element and two are Dragon Eggs. Both are needed to craft say a 1 slotted, (then that into a 2 slotted), ring, belt or even a Cloaks in Jewelcrafting. The thing is that getting your hands on a Dragon Eggs is not easy. There is no surefire way to acquire one as there is the Unified Elements. That you can make yourself via the Alchemestry Craft at level 25.
I think that If Leadership is to become a useful and viable craft again. This might be one way that players would want to max out Leadership again. If you were to have the option to make Dragon Eggs at Level 25. You could have it take the same time it dose to craft a Unified Element in Alchemestry. Anywhere from 12 days and down, depending on the level of your professionals.
Tell me what you think? Would you then want to Max out Leadership again.
I think most people would.
I mean, I got all those Heroes and Adventurers and Men-at-Arms and whatnot - and they're all sitting in the SH or in PE and idling their time away or taking strolls with the local gentry or their prayer group??? :^D
The more time a task need to finish, the higher the quality/quantity of the Stronghold Voucher.
Anyway, a bit more Dev feedback on this matter would help.
+1 on improving the loot from LS chests.
1st step would be to balance the task timers which, in a current state, are just illogical.
Adding SH vouchers to the LS was suggested from the day 1 after nerf - and this is a great idea to help us lower the pain of Sh upgrades.
Not sure about dragon eggs though...I mean each of us want to generate useful stuff from thin air but this could be a bit too much. By the way Dragon Eggs are more suitable to be obtained via Alchemy - well maybe not if you're thinking about sending your dudes to kill a drag and steal his eggs
All in all LS has to get some attention, let's hope it's sooner than later.

1). Is SW more dps or tank based?
2). Yes. I am panzer!
3). Get ACT if you want to celebrate your epeen.
4). Horniness will not stand between me and what I believe - "MM"
Why can't LShip AD-generation be reinstalled - just you don't get rAD, but AD vouchers???
The whole thing's circles around making the profession viable again.
Either lower the costs of SH upgrades (better option) or tweak it a bit AND add Sh related goods to LS coffers.
That would be a big boost to our ability to rank up SH without grinding our heads off trying to meet the actual requirements which are through the roof atm.

Level 18 - 21 is the long slog, but speeds up a lot after 21. I think it took me about 2 weeks to go from 21 to 25, and right now there's no reason to rush to 25.
