Just in: Interview with Yoshi-P

[Ooshima]

In Japanese though: http://www.famitsu.com/news/201501/20069775.html

Interesting point here is:

●クリスタルタワーを全制覇すると特殊なクエストが発生する

──アラグの硬化薬など、いわゆる詩学装備強化用のアイテムについても、これまでどおりボス戦を通じて獲得することになるのですか？
吉田　先ほどもお話をしたとおり、今回はクリスタルタワー：闇の世界で直接手に入れる形式にはしてありません。
──どういうことでしょうか？
吉田　3つのクリスタルタワーを完全制覇した方を対象に、ウィークリーのクエストをひとつご用意しました。その依頼を通じて古代の民の迷宮、シルクスの塔、闇の世界の3つを1週間のあいだにすべてクリアすると、リワードとして詩学強化用のアイテムと、こちらも先ほどお話をしたクリスタルタワー武器のためのキー素材が手に入るようになっています。
──つまり、クリスタルタワー：闇の世界をプレイすることで、アイテムレベル120の防具が、ウィークリークエストで詩学強化用のアイテムや素材が1週間にひとつずつ手に入るのですね。
吉田　素材はほかにも入手経路があるので必ずしも週1ではありませんが、防具や詩学強化素材はそうですね。そうすることで、気軽に防具をNEEDできるようになりますし、装備強化用のアイテムを8人全員でロットインするような事態も減らせます。

Pardon my half-past-six Japanese, but I believe that there will be a weekly quest, just like how the 3 EX-Primals was. Clear LotA, ST and WoD in a week and the reward is the Carbon material. However, Yoshi-P doesn't say whether both will be available at Patch 2.50 itself. (Edit: the later part of the interview says it will be added over time, so I guess as usual, Carboncoat first).

[Ooshima]

On a side note, Zodiac Weapons would probably see a use or something in Heavensward as well. Not exactly sure how it goes, but Yoshi-P acknowledged that it is hard work obtaining one of these Weapons so he will take note of the player's concern in Heavensward.

Specifically,

“ゾディアックウェポンストーリー”か、その続編なのか、武器を成長させていく遊びは、パッチ3.1から再開する予定です。

“ゾディアックウェポンストーリー” (Zodiac Weapon Story)
"続編" (Sequel)

Yoshi-P doesn't really specify whether it is another new story or a sequel to the current Zodiac quest, but something about weapon growth is scheduled in Patch 3.1

=( Hopefully this is minor.
Thanks for the information though.

That's a fascinating way to get people to keep running CT and ST when WoD will be all the new rage. I'm glad to have an excuse and possibly less of a queue time to run CT more often and hopefully finally get the Warrior of Light gloves from CT for my tank glamour. XD

People are actually still running CT due to easy and fast 100 soldiery. It will be even easier when people runs it for the weekly and also runs it again for the item drops to use for the crafted weapons.

They best amp LotA and ST up in difficulty since most people will go in there blazing through the dungeon in i110-i130 gear.

possibly item level sync.

How about nah lol. Places are deathly boring to do in the first place, so implicating difficulty or ilvl sync would be horrific.
