Letter from the Producer, LVII (07/07/2014)

Golden saucer is on its way, they are releasing a "first step" in this 2.3 patch tomorrow. Its in the patch notes.

Players can now enjoy mini-games in inn rooms using the Toy Chest.
Upon completing the side story quest A case of Indecency, players will unlock the Parley mini-game.

So in the letter, it says that we will get Allied Marks from Elite Hunts, as well as from killing the ACTUAL Elite Marks...
So he's basically saying that if we choose to, we can farm/grind out Allied Marks, and use them to buy Sands/Oils/Unidentified to our heart's, and schedule's content?

Sounds like it. I get the feeling it won't be something that's easy to grind though, since the "conditions" will surely be more than just a timer... such as game day, weather, number of a certain placeholder killed, etc. Also I don't think you can get Unidentifed Allagan Tomestones, just Sand/Oil and Alexandrites, but double-check the patch notes.

Think of it also like practice for the servers - making sure the core coding for getting players into minigames and other 'indirect control' stuff is all working right.
Anyway hell yeah Hunts. anyone wanna translate what the list of rewards was?
