So about those radioactive trees

In the Shroud there are some trees, that when approached, emit a green and red wave of light. I have discovered these types of trees by The Hawethorne Hut, and on Bloatbelly's eastern spawn point.

So...WHAT IS THE PURPOSE OF THESE!?

to be pretty.

I MUST SAY THEY ARE VERY PRETTY. AND THAT ERIE NOISE THEY MAKE

If you face those trees, on Earthday, while crafting with a rank 22 main hand tool, you have a 5% higher HQ rate, but only if it's raining.

...or it's just for decoration.

I want one for my housing when we get it then.

we are getting housing?

Yoshida has mentioned that it is something they will be adding in the future.

I remember reading in a quest that there are some trees in the forest that can repair gear to 100% or something maybe thats it?

I MUST TEST THIS

Weren't those gathering points? I remember wayyyy back in the day when people grinded efts there was one at the far east eft camp at treespeak and it turned out to be a btn point?

I dunno. I only recently starting following DoL related things.

Whee 15 man pts~ Miss those days -_-

Whoa, I haven't seen this yet o_O

More proof that Eorzea was ravaged by a nuclear assault! Its Fallout: Eorzea I swears it
Blinking trees
Mutated midgets
Mutated cats
Super Mutants
I don't even want to know what mutated into the Elzen
Why is the main hub of the player base in a wasteland? Because everywhere else is suffering from radioactive fallout
Beastmen? Also mutants
The primals? Leviathan was just a water serpent. Ifrit, a bull. Garuda, a bird. Titan, a SUPER super mutant.
You're not hallucinating, that's a giant walking mushroom.
Gigantoads and oh my gods that's a big gnat.

Think about it. It all makes sense. We're playing in a nuclear wasteland

Elementals live in trees.

Follow the lore!

Oh hey we're on the same server :D

Maybe it IS like on Wizards(1977 film)

The tree was marked by a moogle and it's his pee that is glowing.

Bad!!! Moogle, Bad!!! What have i told you about going in other peoples woods.

Moogles being mutant teddy bears fits with my current theory.

Zet that is absurd. We all know that Moogles a ROBOTS!!!

Silly you robots don't pee

They do leak oil, or coolant from their nuclear power coils. That would explain the glowing wouldn't it?

But Coldfire clearly said they're peeing on the trees not leaking oil/coolant on them. Besides Moogles are not shaped by square people meaning their robotness is refuted here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wKnLBNS9jDw&t=1m58s

Your kalafina sig is too distracting... didn't read a single word.

So, if Moogles where robots. They would be used for destroying Japan or serving Horsd'oeuvre? I want to be in japan the day the 50 foot Moogles attack. That would be AAWSOOM.(I don't mean i want japan destroyed, I just want to see attacking Moogles.)

Maybe there's both robot and radioactive moogles? Like with Godzilla. Mogzilla vs Robo Mogzilla ò_Ó

Or Gamera vs Moogle.

there was a nuclear war during the 2nd umbral sun. some trees caught the flu, others became malboros.

It's because of Ishgard. They are powered by a Nuclear Power Plant and dump their
waste in the canyon below them which washes throughout Eorzea- here is my proof!

Is that the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear runoff pond?

*grabs his Axe*

Brb gonna go ask those trees a question or two.

YOU WILL SET THE GREENWRATH UPON YOU

I hope none of those marmots have epilepsy.

Night-times would be a nightmare.

If by greenwrath you mean radiation sickness then yes.

The tree is trying to speak to you, hence the name Treespeak (i believe thats where the mako reactor tree lies?)
