Just an Idea, I originally had for Hyoya, but considering that alstalsia also has roaming monsters in their place, that might make it worth considering for it aswell...Even though I prersonally think it´s probably better kept for Egwyn and Hyoya. But I guess it could be a pilot test for those?
The idea is basically that:
You have an NPC in that town that is the giving out timed hunting quests(Or like random beast events). Hunting quests will make a random spot on the continent pop up which is a so called "Hunting zone" Similiar to a camp, probably just a bit bigger and bit more decorated with trees and shit, there will specific monster spawn that fit the hunting quest. For Hyoya I had ideas like wolf packs and other monsters, since Hyoya is all about hunting. In Alstalsia I guess there could be harpies, behemoths and the kind?
So now you are in the hunting zone and take out the specific Monsters and similiar to black beast raids, if you killed enough the pack leader/Boss monster will pop up.
Or the whole hunting quest is one big boss.
Also you probably want to take your bone saw with you cause you prolly want to take the monster corpses apart for their hide, claws and whatever those monsters have! (A bonus idea was using specific hunting weapons that have the effect that you gain more monster material drop chance for killing)
if all is done, you return to the hunting quest NPC. Get a reward based on what you managed to hunt, trade in your material you got for hunterpoints in that region and of course reputation.
I didn´t really think of it before Chaos said it when I originally came up with that idea during some Hyoya brainstorming, but it´s a bit Monster Hunter like I guess. So there could also be gathering "Zones" where you try to grab specific gatherable item while monsters annoy you and what not. It can generally be more flashed out and increased in difficulty for certain quests, giving alot of playroom to add new lategame material and lowtier aswell by simply making the NPC have a sort of ranking system for difficulties and what not.
I think this could make stuff really cool. But again I am unsure if it fits to Alstalsia, I think it´s better for Hyoya and Egwyn.
