Grade 6 Gathering Nodes in Patch 1.21?

Back when 1.19 commenced, there was a list of items given that would be reused from 1.21 on (gold/darksteel ore, etc.). With plans for such items to see use again, will there be higher-leveled gathering nodes? If not, then will they be peppered into the existing nodes? :D

EDIT: http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...194#post363194
That is the link that led me to creating this thread. Had a couple of ppl tell me "what list are you talkin' about?"...and there it is :D

yea, get 145 xp at lvl 48 is kinda slow.

I edited the OP to include the link I was referring to.

It was already confirmed a while back that we WILL NOT get grade 6 until the level cap raises

not gonna hunt down the source, you people can do that damn legwork, its buried in dev tracker somewhere



we may see a cap raise by 1.22 still though, we dont know, but when we do get one we will see the grade 6 stuff show back up(such as darksteel, gold etc etc)

the grind isnt that bad really
especialy when almost every drop you get is more money in your pocket or materials you can use :D

LOL, but but you have all your classes at 50, obviously grind has no impact on you anyway. :P

i didnt mind it even before then :P

in the end, if you like gathering, you like the materials you get, win win. all getting those last levels does is give you more swings!

exp per swing doesnt matter as much when you approach the end

I agree. This is exactly how I look at it.

indeed, and if you thought 148 was bad at 48, it was 70 a swing when we did it

yeah, i've been grinding mining one stack of electrum ore at a time. it's a small enough goal to help keep my sanity, but large enough that it gets about 1/3 of a level. and on top of everything i can sell the ore for 300-500k a stack

Mainly, I'd like to see an option for higher-lvl gear that has stats above and beyond what is required for Grade 5 (like the upcoming HQ buff and/or AF DoL sets are bound to be) so that there's an alternative money-making path for those that don't care to produce revenue from SBing and converting gear as they go.
