Idyllshire expansion

I thought I'll take picture of the outside, just in case.

I'll admit that the expansions were much larger than I expected! Pherhaps I should have forseen this with the aethernet and allowing us to ride mounts but... it got so large!

And it looks like they are raising at least as much ground again. This makes me so ridiculously excited.

(Also, love the employees who wonder what Rowena has in store for their stand. Voicing our thoughts for us.)

One of the Gobbies mentions something about making fizzysparks or something in the big hall next to the aetheryte.

The Goblins are building a Manufactory, ironically inspired by the Inquest. Due to the Inquest pumping out a lot of technological machinery the Idylshire goblins have decided to do the same, though perhaps not as strictly focused on warmachines as the Inquest. That's the gist of what I got from the Goblin at the door.

Idylshire seems to be very much an experiment for the Goblins which makes me wonder how long its been since the goblins congregated enough to have a settlement of city size.

Hmm, I don't know if my mind is playing tricks on me or what, but I barely remember how when we first visited Idyllshire, there was a quest where the goblins were actually having trouble with golems inside the town and asked us to get rid of them. The golems were IIRC part of an old defense system from back when the Sharlayns used to be in the area.

What I'm saying is that it'd be kinda neat that if one day, the Goblins decide they want to try digging a basement below the central structure, and they end up stumbling upon an old dungeon entrance right smack in the middle of Idyllshire instead.

I love this! I love how things change throughout the story! It's so awesome >_>

This would not surprise me considering how bad Sharlyon seems to be about not "Locking Up when they leave".

There's a lot of stuff just lying around for any random nutjob to pick up that could be (and usually is) incredibly dangerous and really should have been destroyed before leaving.

I'm still concerned about Idyllshire... The whole place is just one well placed bomb away from crumbling down to nothing... They actively seem to be fastening new rocks to the side to give them more land to work with... It is an insane settlement... Gobbie "science" has always been fairly volatile... Hope they know what they're doing building a Manufactory there... One bad mistake and the whole settlement could collapse...

For 3.3, can they import some rocks from the Floating City of Nym, or the Sea of Clouds? It would put my mind at ease knowing the city is technically floating, rather than balancing on a needle point...

(anyone else having a hard time getting excited about the city expanding? It's cool and all, just like Revenant's Toll, but when 3.5 comes along and it's finished, we'll be a few months off getting a new hub area and forgetting about it like we have Revenant's Toll... Psst, SE! Add content to Revenant's Toll, the Doman Adventurer's Guild must have more adventures lined up, right?)

What? A few months after 3.5 is likely to be around this time next year. It's only been a few days since 3.2! Let's take one day at a time here, OK?

Actually, I am excited about the city expanding, especially because there seems to be more land there now than before the patch. Revenant's Toll is fantastic, and I'm hoping for more Doman Adventurers' Guild quests, too, but as far as planning the camp's layout, they mostly just filled in the space around the aetheryte. Not so in Idyllshire, where if they need a little extra ground to work with, they apparently make more. Now that's civil engineering!

And just what can we expect? A Goblin laboratory sounds fun. There's that lower level to the west that opened up, and the builder down there has no idea what he's even building yet. And one of the NPCs at the former scrips counter is talking about rumors of stocking up on Garlean goods in the near future. That'd be exciting!
