Falcon's Nest - Mysterious & Rare Disciple Icon (Request from Fernehalwes @ Fanfest)

[Alenore]

This is the type of thing that makes me miss 1.0 so much.

Genuinely, where else in the current world is there any mystery?
It feels like a safe and sound lobby for instanced content with little but FATEs populating it, sans the occasional mob on the way to a gear piñata.

Everything is kept out of the world until just before it's needed, at which point it's painfully obvious what it will be for.
I'm very much concerned as to how they intend to reclaim some mystery, but I suppose 3.0 is a chance to start again.

Every important battles were instanced in 1.0. From dungeons to Primals, along with MSQ (United We Stand or Rivenroad, for instance) and Skirmishes.
1.0 had a bunch of high level monsters you couldn't kill alone, guarding nothing but some piece of landscape. Don't get me wrong, I loved those landscapes (Twinlakes is still my favourite place), but it was a pain to reach them just to have a few nice screenshots.

I mean WTF is a snurble gonna do to you?

Snurbles use conjury. Conjury has access to 3 elements. Quake, Tornado and Flood are Ancient spells linked to these elements. Really want to piss off a Snurble-king?! ;(

I wonder why they didn't try reactivating the class with Heavesward.

I know this thread has been necro'ed, but is now a 2 year old mystery as to what could have been more cool lore xD

I think the life of this one needs a jump start, and perhaps a response from Fernehalwas after so many years as well. xD

The first post mentioned Falcon's Nest, which we all know is the area just outside Ishgard, but they also mentioned Owl's Nest, which is now on the Shatter Frontlines map.

Aymeric calls off some bowmen when Middy lands in Ishgard at the end of 3.0. I believe they also show up during first Steps of Faith and also appear in a few FATEs.

It's true that Ishgardian army NPCs in actual gameplay tend to be either Lancers or Conjurers, though.

I really want an answer to this.
