Title: Continue Hunt
Summary: Ever felt annoyed that you forgot to copy down the coordinates of our Adventurer's last hunt? This feature would eliminate the constant need to record where your adventurer last fought in order to continue fighting monsters/undead. A choice under quest would be entitled 'Continue Hunt' which would automatically select the monster type (Monster/Undead) and fill in the group # and coordinates of the monsters, but still allow for selection of risk similar to how it is now.
Details: As of right now it's somewhat tedious for adventurers to continually pursue the same group of monsters. Adventurer's lack scribes and you cannot send in-game letters to yourself thus, in order to carry on with the same group of monsters, an external source has to be used. I currently have a 50 e-mail long conversation with myself in g-mail full one line coordinate/group number hunts. While it seems that the current system is meant to improve interactions between adventurers it often just leads to sporadic one liner in game letters full of gibberish alphanumeric sets.
Naturally continue hunt could only be used if the adventurer was able to continue the hunt in a reasonable amount of time.
Benefits: Would simply make the adventurer bread and butter more user friendly and streamlined. There's no need to keep some sort of log detailing your latest expedition.
Possible Downsides/Exploits: Somewhat discourages the current (un?)intentional system that promotes cooperation. To be fair, however, I think the current mechanics discourages cooperation in any case and hunting alone is preferable for mid to late game adventurers in nearly all aspects.
