Thoughts based on the Live Letter?

That was under one of the "Land and Hand" sections ... I may be reading too much into it, but I think it may be an adjustment to Favors. I'm GUESSING that the new combat gear recipes (and others, as well) will be off of Favor nodes. Currently, you spend two RGT on one set of 5 Botany and one set of 5 Mining Favors, but you are only guaranteed 5 ooids/whatever per RGT. With needing 20 gathered items (10 mining, 10 botany) per RCT, it is easy to see needing more RGT to make up the shortfall from the 5 Favors you just used.

I think it's a case of them increasing the ooids/etc. guaranteed per Favor (just guaranteeing 2 per Favor would be awesome), simply increasing the chance of the favor stuff appearing, or removing the red scrip cap enabling you to get more Favors per week. Another idea that occurs to me would be increasing the number of favors you get per RGT.

I wonder more what the "adjustments" they plan on making to the Hand and Land classes will be, and what the "hot fix" on the 25th is going to add. On another note, why not just call it what it is? 3.2DoH/DoL Patch :P
