The trade rose to prominence in the nation of Limsa Lominsa, owing to the plentiful waters upon and around Vylbrand island.

But.. but... no classes use Firearms... Wait, they wouldn't, would they? Fool me once, shame on you. Fool me twice and I would be extremely pleased to get MSK for launch.

Haha, I know! I saw all of it and I'm pretty happy. Definitely makes up for not talking about it in yesterday's letter. Seems so far the concerns (not mine) that we were no longer a class are gone, and the last line implies an actual depth to the mechanics. Now we just need to see some mechanics.

Unrelated but did anyone else HHHNNNNGGGG all over their monitor at the Culinarian AF-wearing Miqo'te? By Llymlaen she's adorable. Might actually make me take up crafting.

lol my wife is doing Culinarian...i wonder how she will look in that gear O.O

I don't know why, but i cracked up when i saw the elezen weaver.

I really like the Hume F (BOT) Plainsfolk M (ARM) and Mi'qote (CUL) =O

I think the alchemist outfit looks pretty cool and the Miqo'te cook is very cute :3

*edit*
Also, at first I thought Armorer for some reason was the only one with a named NPC for it's image (Mimidoa) but it looks like it's actually not him... I guess the Blacksmith & Armorer's Guild is just a hotspot for Lalafell's rocking the stache lol.

Alchemist imo looks cool

The language about the firearms is old (1.x) language, from at least as early as March 2010. Much, if not all, of the language on the DoL/DoH pages is original language.

You can also see that the prior language (dating back to October 2009) stated:

The roots of smithing can be traced back to Hydaelyn's bronze era. It was during this period that a system of prenticeship was established, ensuring the methods of this art would be passed along to future generations. And while these basic techniques have survived the ages, countless different branches of smithing, including gunsmithing, have emerged in recent years, further broadening the scope of this ancient trade.
