Ask Questions for Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XVIII! (FFXIV: ARR)

[Cecwhite]

Will the next phase of the Labyrinth of the Ancients be implemented in 2.5?

[EorzeaHero69]

Will you add harder versions of the Labyrinth of the Ancients and Syrcus Tower in the future?

[Anapingofness]

Can we please have the Leek Maid minion?
She would be a lovely addition to the Onion Prince!

She would be a lovely addition to the Onion Prince!

Speaking of leeks, I was wondering if you can do a VOCALOID crossover event, and if you're gonna do third party events in general

[RiverTams]

Can we be able to lock desynthesis? So it doesnt delevel as we level up the other 2's.

[Daweism]

When will we see the Dragoon changes made, and what can we expect?

Materia
Is there going to be an implementation of getting a guaranteed Tier IV Materia? The i70 gear+ require large time and money investments and still don't 100% give Tier IV's.

Will melding percentages of materia ever be raised? Will there be food that raises the chances for a successful meld?

Will you please, for the love of all that is holy, get rid of elemental materia? It is quite literally useless as it stands right now. Or how about this. A player can choose to convert a piece of gear before 100% for an elemental materia of the appropriate tier. That way, you can keep the elemental materia in the game but remove them from the painstaking process of Spiritbinding

Novus
Will there be any steps taken to make this part of the relic quest easier? If so, what?

[KurokumoSreyb]

Crafting
You said you were going to be making it easier for crafters to "catch up" to the current endgame crafting content. What steps will you be taking to do so?

Currently, it is extremely difficult to level desynthesis past level 70 because the i70 crafted gear has crafted materials that require large a time/money investment (Animal Fats, Peacock Ore, etc). Will there be a reduction of materials used to craft these items? For example instead of using 9 Peacock Ore, a craft only requires 3.

[TheKingSlayer]

With the addition of Ninja there are now 6 DPS jobs. Do you and the dev. team feel those DPS jobs are properly balanced in use of end game content? Are there any changes that you think needs to be done to those DPS jobs? (buffs or nerfs)

[Talaquen]

Will there be player housing wards added to Ishgard when Heavensfall releases?
