    I'm putting this in the general discussion area because it's not really a suggestion so much as a spitball idea and I'm not sure that it logistically holds any water beyond a little thought I had. Plus, if it does intrigue anyone, I'm sure community input to tweak the original idea would be helpful!

    I was thinking, maybe as part of an event, it would be fun if PQs were "unlocked" to all levels. This would only be available for a period of time and not a permanent game change. It just makes me sad that past a certain point you really don't get to do PQs anymore and you're also locked out of the PQ exclusive gear/cards. There have been times where the new player influx is so small that it's virtually impossible to find parties to PQ with, even smega'ing and waiting for hours is just not worth it compared to grinding/leeching/questing at that point, but I think it'd be fun to have parties of LV100+ chars who might have missed out doing LPQ/KPQ/MPQ etc...

    I don't really have any answers to rewards/xp rates etc. from these "unlocked" PQs, maybe that isn't the point so much as doing them to relive some old memories or get that 1 card you missed out on when originally leveling through LPQ.

    I apologize if this is something that's come up before and has already been cut-and-dry discussed/answered as either being not possible or not interesting enough, it was just a little thought I had while card hunting in Ludi. OnionSorry

    Permanently removing the level limits from PQs has been suggested before but I don't think it was well received. You take away alot of the challenge and oldschool feel this way.

    Doing it temporarily (perhaps along with the "pq revamp" patch as an event) would be interesting though.

    You can buy the cards you missed out on from NPC Tienk btw.

    I definitely wouldn't want it to be a permanent thing, just something that lasted for a bit during/as an event. Maybe the original level caps for PQs would still apply to those within the vanilla range and anyone outside of it would be able to run the "unlocked" version with any level.

    I feel like part of the reason why permanent pq unlock wasn't received with the most enthusiasm was the effort required with regards to implementation. (Examples: would higher lvl'd chars have reduced access to skills? Would their AP be scaled down? What about their equips?)

    Now, while I do see the charm in temporarily unlocking PQs for the sake of events, I think that just means going through the same heap of implementation effort, but only for a small temporary event.

    In my personal opinion, I think there's more important things for staff to spend their time on. However, that is entirely up to personal preference and I'm not particularly fond of PQs anyways, so take my opinion with a grain of salt.

    I think you can just remove the level requirement and leave it at that. Let PQs be broken for a couple weeks.

    Could be fun yea?

    It wouldn't cause any meta shifts more than past events have done.

    I think it could be fun, whether it's carrying and interacting with newer players or seeing how fast you can clear PQs with high level 4th job characters

    I don't even think it's really that game-breaking either (aside from stripping the challenge of the PQ away obviously lol), as long as there's little to no benefit for a high level to run them aside from fun and/or charity

    I think this would deviate a little from the purpose of the PQ, I would particularly farm the epq earring on several characters of my lv 120+, including my paladin lv 200, perhaps I would farm the lpq glasses on some characters also, and when I needed carry for a new char instead of leech I would do PQs

    It would be cool to take 2 hits from the 10k touch Golems in LPQ instead of just 1 like I did when I was level 47. That's twice as potion efficient.
