gathering in nature

[Loony_BoB]

You can currently get multiple types of wood from a single tree. This makes no sense at all - would it be possible to simply add multiple types of trees to an area and have each tree contain different types of wood?

Following on from the above - why can I get wood from a cactus!? Eorzea is pretty weird.

Adding text to make up ten characters.

...I guess my questions were not good enough for an answer?

My Question:

Will gathering classes receive advanced jobs or some sort of content specific to DoL ?

My questions as well:

I think Fishing should be more active (more action oriented) because it should give to the player a sense of 'fight' with the fish (FF11 has something about it). Any plans about it?

What about to add various types of special bags/sacks/baskets for every Gathering type?

Thanks!

My question:

Are there any plan to make cooperation between DoL and DoW/DoM possible or even needed for some gathering? For example: adding new materials in dungeons or adding guildleves where DoW/DoM would have to protect the DoL during the gathering.

I'm a Fighter not a lover; Can't I keep a gathering tool equipped along with my weapon of choice?

Would be nice not to have to overhaul all the gear, tools, traits and abilities when I happen to pass by a mine while exploring.

Forgot a few things that came to mind.

Why can't we mark our maps for gathering locations? Even if we can't in general do this (we really should be able to have a comprehensive set of tools to customize our map, draw on it even, set markers without a limit, etc) can the scanning abilities at least temporarily place markers on our maps?

As an addition to the above, it would seem as an accomplished Botanist or Miner (especially Botanist) we should be able to tell if a tree is Ash, Walnut, Willow, Cedar, Elm, Mahogany, Pine very easily. All the graphics for the trees run together, is there any plans to change this?

If we can't get an update to tree graphics to represent the specific type of tree, could we at least get markets on our map and minimap that denote what the trees without a 400yalm radius of us are?

And going off the above again.

If we have a minimap for animals, and NPCs and other locations, why can't DOLs have minimaps and scannable areas on the map (like FFXI RNG Widescan perhaps) that we can scan or search and be able to tell which node is up and what that node is?

An example would be to open the map as Miner, scan and then see that there are 7 nodes within a 400yalm radius, 4 of them are currently gatherable (not exhausted) and by mousing over or moving the gamepad/arrowkeys to the various markers we could see that one node is an iron vein, the other two are silver/jade veins and the last one is a precious stone vein. DOLs are already abused as it is with double fatigue and having to run through gauntlets of aggro higher up and leves that take us all over the world and are little more than anima burning. We could really use some things to keep our sanity on the grind to cap.

That would destroy our classes.. please refrain from pushing this agenda..

Ok, my turn. These may be duplicate, but then duplicates should get more attention, so all good! ^_^

Will there be additional guildleves introduced for gatherers so as to provide greater variety in the activities we do?

Are there plans for gatherers to be able to participate in battle, other than by just throwing stones?

Can we expect Grade 6 gathering nodes to be introduced any time soon?

Last time one of the SE guys said that there are different teams working on the different aspects of the game, so development in one area shouldn't be slowing down development in another. The example cited at the time was that events like the "Easter egg festival" do not slow down development of more urgent matters. If that's the case, how come there have been very few improvements to the Disciple of the Land jobs?

Furthermore, once this Q&A is completed, we will most likely get answers like "We will be looking into this..". Instead of giving us such vague answers, we would appreciate something more concrete. Why don't you give us an action plan for all future Disciple of the Land changes that you want to implement(same as the battle reform blueprint)?

My short questions.

Will be inplimented marks on maps?

Will be inlemented additional leve-quest?

Will there are leve-quest linking and party oriented content for DoL?
