gathering in nature

[Sigmakan]

Lordy that won't ever happen on the internet. Maybe some thankless person will run through the thread and copypasta originals into a consolidation for the dev team. Agreed that popular questions should get priority and the...uh...well some questions are really out there. Better off not letting the Japanese people know we ask if we can have harnesses that spark and have rings near the...nevermind.

Don't ask that!

Edit: We can all go through the threads and "Like" the questions we like as a vote of popularity.

Serious question, isnt that the forum reps jobs? They have to make a list of question to give to the Dev team anyway, why not create that list at the top of this topic showing all the consolidated questions. Would clean up this topic and make their work easier down the line . . .

This all seems like an ad-hoc service that fans rarely ever get to enjoy--to see their specific questions commented on by an actual developer. We're always stuck reading the developers swinging at some pat, layman-experience interviewer's softball questions about the game. Never the tough or relevant questions.

We should do what we can to help out. Ish.

Hey gang, great suggestions thus far! We have one favor we'd like to ask and that's if you could you try and see if your question has been asked already. We're starting to see a lot of repeats! It'd really help us out and it would make sure we get all the original questions in.

Thank you <3

Actually I think that when you see a lot of repeats, it will help you identify those questions that are really important to most of us.

"Is there going to be jobs for gathering classes? If yes, how do you plan to implement this? and If no, why no jobs for gatherers?"

"How will chocobo's come into play while gathering? Will we be able to mount and unmount at anytime similar to WoW or once we get off the Chocobo will run away?"

I know that is a bit on/off topic but I am very curious about this aspect of the game.

they should count repeats as votes for that question in particular.

My question is

All items that can be gathered so far seem pretty common, will there be rare ores/logs/etc that can be crafted into great gear?

[DarkSchnyder]

As a miner I hate getting unnecessary items like zinc ore in grade 5 areas or getting iron materials when i want to focus on high quality ores like silver/gold/mythril. I was thinking that they're should be pickaxes that "favor" a certain material like iron,bone,gems,silver, gold and mythril. I'm not saying it'll be 90% boost but instead of getting constant fodder or stuff you dont need at all you at least have a better chance at getting what you want.

I get the point of having gathering fatigue to prevent rmt actions but its unfair to players that enjoy gathering classes, it's so bad for me I haven't gotten miner surplus in 1 1/2 months. I actually would prefer to mine all day and supply my LS with mats than craft all day. It's not like there is something in place to prevent someone from farming mob skins all day and making way more money from that. You block one window and leave another window wide open.

One more suggestion would be to make lay of the land similar to prospect, I only need prospect V to run through all areas but I need all lay of the land to sense every grade separately taking up space on my action bar.

As 44 miner, my initial complaints at this moment are the ridiculously low sp at each successful hit, the gathering fatigue and the completely random items you get at grade 5 that you would get at 1-4.

Currently the economic forces in Eorzea allow crafters to obtain cheap high quality materials, synth high quality products, then mark the price for their services up by 1000% while the hard-working gatherer who made that possible is barely making ends meet. Battlecrafters own 80% of the value of the steel industry, while gatherers' iron ore is almost worthless. Are there any plans to give professional gatherers more economic weight and power?

Sorry if these are repeats

In "Yalms", What are the dimensions of one square on a map?

How much distance is between you and a gathering point when "Quicken" doesn't activate while using skills such as Prospect I-IV?

Are there factors such as Moon Phases, Time of Day, and Weather Conditions that affect the Drops Rates and Quality of items obtained through gathering?

While gathering "hides" for leather working, is it safe to assume that every item that a mob drops can also be dropped as a +1/+2/+3?

Ill post more later...

<200 yalms for your 2nd question. You can use that to estimate an answer for your 1st question.

Drops from mobs are NQ or +3.
