Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XIII! (Item Levels)

[Anty]

There are key concerns with end game that open world doesn't challenge players with high Item Levels. Are there any plans to add quest or new content that isn't instance for player with Item Level of 70 or more?

i think a lot of players would like to have more open world content - besides fates, fates and ... fates.
And also more difficult content/Areas in the future. You can really pick flowers next the highest level monster. In case it sees you, you make a few steps and it stops chasing you... then you just go there again and YEY. there you have it ... the flower

Are there any plans to add item level 60 or higher crafting and gathering class gear soon.

Hello. I was wondering if you will ever be adding the ability to elude an enemy's aggro by having a high enough item level? I know some instances where it is required so as to present a challenge; such as the Sylph Daily Quest: 'Perilous Pumpkins', but I believe that players should be rewarded for their efforts in obtaining high level equipment by not having to deal with such a thing. Thank you in advance for your reply and/or reading my question.

Will crafters be able to open materia slot's for end game gear with rare item to attach new materia type's with job enhancement bonuses for example like Cure potency +5% or Enhanced berserk extended time by 5 seconds? I can understand crafters will not be used for crafting end game gear but they could be used as an horizontal progression type of filler?

Are there plans to implement iLvL syncing for level 50 dungeons?

Many people posting on the forums would like more challenging content. As it is now, Wanderer's Palace, Amdapor Keep, and other high level dungeons are generally no longer very challenging since many players are overgearing them into oblivion. With iLvL increases, this will only get worse. Aurum Vale, and other lower level dungeons retain some of their challenge by syncing everything down. Can this be implemented for high level dungeons to help keep them relevant?

If the item level requirement is only 55 for the three new dungeons, does that mean the monsters inside will only hit about as hard as the monsters in Copperbell (Hard), etc.? Please make these dungeons a challenge for players who have been level 50 for more than a couple of weeks.

Since Crystal Tower is supposed to be the buffer from Darklight(i70) to Coil 1-5 and Myth Gear(i90), are we going to continue seeing 20-ilvl gaps after every set of Coil Turns gets put out, or is it planned to have two Crystal Tower patches to set the progression to be in order?

What are you going to do with the item levels if/when you raise the level cap?

Will ilvls be rolled back for the expansion?

When we hit L51 in the next expansion pack, will all of our item levels be rolled back to i50 for consistency, or will players be equipping i100 gear on an L51?

I'm wondering if Patch 2.2 gives a new ilvl cap expansion, and also new crafting recipes to make gears that is beyond than ilvl 70 gears; what about DoH gears since their gear is only can go up to ilvl 55 gears, will they add new DoH gears like Leatherworker's Hat +1 or something like that to increase their Craftsmanship and Control even better so they will able to handle to craft beyond than ilvl 70 gears instead of failing it. This question apply same for DoL classes to increase their Gathering and Perception to gather more difficulty materials around Eorzea. So, Yoshi-P do you have a same idea or something more closely like this? Thanks!
