The next 10 gathering levels

[Hayward]

Some questions I'd like to see answered during the run-up to Heavensward:

1) Will Fishers finally get GP abilities? If so, how should they function?

2) Will level 50 Unspoiled nodes (Cluster spots, in particular) become regular gathering spots?

3) Will Wards be modified as shard/crystal/cluster requirements increase? If so, by how much?

4) Is it possible for the HQ catch rate for Fishers to be raised due to their inability to completely isolate particular fish?

1 yes - my prediction
2 no
3 no, but I think clusters will be more bountiful in Ishgard
4 ... I'm sure it's possible... but I think it's unlikely unnecessary

I believe the live letters have stated that Fishers will end up getting a use for GP, and I'd expect one of those new uses to help out with number 4.
Hopefully something like "Spend 100 GP to guarantee HQ on your next cast"

NOOO

no GP use for fishers D: i like my fisher how he is: with no GP use and no offhand. makes the materia melds cheap and the fishing relaxed v.v/

1, I doubt it. But if they do they will be akin to the MIN and BOT ones. Truth of rivers, lakes, shorelines, oceans to spot hidden fishing holes. Sharp vision equivalent to decrease the odds on the next tier of fish from getting away, an HQ odds increase for the nest X casts.

2, probably not but they WILL give EXPs.

3, I hope they will be to increase shards to maybe 5.

4, Some fish can be totally isolated. Also see my 1, above.
