Heavensward 3.1 rumor inquiry

I know nothing is confirmed officially but I just want to know if anyone heard any rumour while we wait.

1. New Dungeons:
- Saint Mocianne Arboretum
- Pharos Sirius (Hard)
Q: n/a

2. Full Raid dungeon
- Void Ark
Q: What Ilv of the drop like? If it is anything like WoD, it is going to be iLv200 with weekly drop lock.

3. Hunt
- Are they going to add an item that allow people to upgrade to iLv200 to iLv210?

4. New Alex Normal / Savage
- Are they going to introduce New Alex normal or Savage on 3.1 or is it going to be more like 3.2 stuff?

The closest thing to "rumors" is that we're getting new Ishgard housing in 3.1.

As for item upgrades they're probably going to add a way for people to get the Savage upgrade items outside of Savage (bet on it being tied to Exploratory Missions, very rare drop) so yes there's probably going to be a way to do 200->210 upgrades.

There won't be new Alex until 3.2.

1.) That's the rumored stuff, yup.
2.) Most likely yes. If prior instances of the Full Raid's is to be followed, then it should be ilvl200.
3.) Not sure if they drop items that upgrade to 210. But the live letter mentioned that Airship Explorations (the island instances) have Notorious Monsters, and Hard Notorious Monsters, that can potentially drop up to 210. Whether through tokens, or direct drops, was not explicitly stated.
4.) No new Alexander Normal/Savage in 3.1. I imagine it will be in 3.2.

i200 for sure, no other iLVL would make sense. Plus this falls in line with the majority of CT iLVL in comparison to tome/raid gear.

I would expect this before 3.2, they likely want people to take a crack at it a bit longer before nerf. But then Nov, so who knows.
I also recall some sort of upgrades coming from the new Airship exploration content, so I imagine hunts will be to get geared for that.

Have they mentioned the housing transition/transaction system to be available in 3.1?

TGS mentioned that Equipment (ilevel was not mentioned) and the Eso Upgrade items will be drops from Void Ark and that they will each have their own lockout.

What was translated via mrhappy's stream

Any mention of moving the prerequisite quest for getting in to heavensward?

I'd say to 2.00 because I'm beyond that but in fairness, it should be level based because the system can't make proper priority for class driven players.

HW Crafting: Don't worry about having Master Craft II to get Master Craft III but you need to have completed level 30 guildhests. Dafuq????

Oh I almost forgot about Relic!

I hope it is not going to be as grinding as Zodiac!

are you seriously complaining about not being able to level DoH's because you didn't bother to do ARR story on desynth alts? be lucky they didn't restrict them from the start - desynth should require a minimum battle class level imo...I guess that is 50 with HW access now ;)

I can't imagine them starting with the Eso Armor or Eso weapon upgrade items though. Probably just Gobcoats for the accessories at first.

You're probably hoping against hope with that one.

Nope, not seeing any mention of desynth or alts. Not seeing any mention of level DoH either. It can be leveled as soon as you activate HW. YOU JUT CANT GO THERE!!!!!

this is not true.

next housing updating in 3.1 will be shared personal housing in which up to 5 people can be assigned to do stuff (i don't think the house owner counts as one of the five but who knows). we also don't know if the guests can use the teleport, only furnishings, gardening and stable were specifically stated.

the housing change after that will be to allow moving of plots without losing critical feature like FC Members Rooms and Airship related stuff, this should not be ready for 3.1. this might only be for FC houses, don't recall personal housing being mentioned with this.

Ishgard housing will not happen till the moving feature is implemented, though potentially it can happen at the same time.

also we can get new wards to the 3 existing housing zones at any time but that has never been specifically stated.

Very True - as Sendoh said - YoshiP already mentioned they would consider Ishgard housing, but it would definitely not happen while the Dragonsong War was going on - so in short not during the 3.X story line so probably not til 4.0.

The housing update has to do with sharing personal housing with other people and giving them ability to do things within it.

it can happen during 3.x if the last patch or two are used to setup the next expansion possibly with a large focus on the Garleans and most Ishgard-centric issues have already been dealt with.

not seeing your issue, seems like you are leveling all of your crafts just fine...if you want to level more crafts on alts then you know what you have to do. I like the gate as it keeps people from easily making a bunch of crafting alts to cheese red script items.

Yes, I'm leveling my crafts just fine. My Gathering too and I've done all of it with no access to HW.
Would alts 'cheese up' red scripts? Even with the 110 quest wall out of the way to enter HW, ask yourself if you would try and cap red scripts on 8 characters each week? Also ask yourself what impact it would really have if people did this. The red script system is an imploding system that has no purpose. I just want to gather mats because I know I'm being gouged on the market boards. Trust me, anyone who has took the time to put this process together knows red script 60 is dead on arrival.

I'm surprised no one is talking about possible story developments.

The locations of the other scions! The other dragons of the original brood! The Garlean emporer in Azys Lla! ESTINIEN!!

While I'm definitely most interested in the story, it's basically for none of the reasons you mentioned. The Void Ark is going to be about the War of the Magi and the Mhachi! The title implies we might get some more Ascian-something-or-another! More Eikon lore from totally-not-Elidibus-or-Elidibus'-underling!

Those were confirmed Void Ark gearsets in the Live Letter. There was another one shown as well.
