gathering in nature

My Questions

Is there any plans to change the fishing mini game, ie to make it faster and less repetitive.

Are you considering allowing fisherman to fish up monsters and NM's ?

Are there any plans to add temporary marker (ie arrows/red circle) to the minimap/mainmap to show where a node is after using the respective skill

Any chance of gardening making its way back into the game?

For the mateira system, and DOL gathering catlist (sp?) materials, will their be different ranks of materials needed for the materia (lower level classes gather lower level materials), or will there be a one size fits all approach to the catlist materials that are gathered?

Thanks.

Will SP be adjusted for DoL it seems rather low compared to DoH and DoW/DoM?

Why are Gathering leves shared with battle leves when it comes to the 8 per reset cap?

The Job System seems like the perfect opportunity to add in combat features for DoL/DoH is this something you folks have considered?

It would be nice to have abilities to narrow your search for specific items, say something that increases your chance to obtain Logs or Ores, is this something you folks would consider?

Gathering is boring maybe allow us to change the in game music while performing these tasks

Thanks for your time!

Here is my question.

Any chance to make it feel like a hobby instead of a chore?

Can we raise our Chocobo to excel in gathering, or perhaps a skill?

Wanted to add my vote to these requests:

- Removal of +1 and +2 results from gathering
- Have Fieldcraft leves separated from Regional leves

Other questions/suggestions:

Do you think it could be possible to eliminate node ranks and have class rank + area determine gathering results instead? Class rank would determine "rank" of item that will generate SP, and area would determine the actual item.

There would still be better areas to skill up at and better money maker areas, but it would be more meaningful and allow people to randomly stop by a node to gather from it instead of restricting areas and have useless zones once you reach a certain rank.

Could gatherers, after reaching a certain rank, have access to some kind of external mobile storage and/or delivery system? Chocobo would definitely be an interesting option to consider. Moogle companion for botany, Goblin for mining and Sahagin for fishing would also be interesting. Other ideas: special mobile retainers, mining carts, botany trailers, fish tanks.

Would it be possible to add legendary items to Botany and Mining like the legendary fishes?

Would it be possible to add players’ requests on the Task Board? Using the same mechanic already present in player bazaars (ex: offering 12,000 gil for 100 Silver Ores, 10,000$ for Iron Ore +3, etc ...) but in a more intuitive and centralized area (only difference is that the money/items offered would be deducted right away from the requester inventory). Would definitely stimulate gatherers’ economy and activities (same concept could be applied to DoH, or the same concept could be considered in the Market Wards adjustments).

Just a few simple ones. Apologies if they've been asked in different wording already.

Will non-combat classes ever get something more useful for defending themselves than "rock throw," as well as actual roles in combat/action scenarios at all?

Will the non-combat classes be expanded to define their roles, like what is being planned for the combat classes currently?

[Drazzan]

Yay! Another Q&A, I hope my questions are okay ^~^

Will you be making Gathering Classes more collaborative with other Disciplines be it through quests or general partying?

Any changes planned to the current Gathering Formula we were told about?

Currently; Gathering SP is the lowest of all disciplines and together with Gathering Fatigue it makes it very difficult to level a Gathering Class. Any plans to increase SP?

Gathering is a great discipline; Will/When will we be getting more Gathering Classes?

Will any Levequests be implemented that solely rely on both Gathering and Crafting? Perhaps Leve-Materials that have to be gathered and then crafted. Obviously it will have to be beneficial to both parties.

What are YOUR personal plans, views and goals for Gathering Classes?

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

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.
