The "Crafting" Beast Tribe?

[Caitlyn]

We had one in ARR, HW and why not in SB?
Personally I don't need it for leveling, been cap since 1st week of SB but that mount... I need it!

Some people use it to level their crafter (though leves are heck much faster).

Actually, leveling a DPS-class take much longer time and effort than a crafter class. Leves and Dailies gives you so much EXP for your crafters.

You also have much more options for your dps classes. While waiting in queue for dungeons and roulettes, you can run FATEs, beast tribes - 2 of which you already have for your 60+, daily hunts, side quests if you have it, and we'll soon have Heaven on High. And none of these options cost you anything other than some time, whereas for crafting you have to spend money (saving time, don't have gatherers leveled, you need a fish and rng is mean to you) or even more time to get the mats before you can even craft.

So just to clarify cus I've heard it referred to as a crafting and gathering beast tribe. Will we be able to lvl a gathering class through this?

Gonna be fun to spawn the S rank on top of all those unsuspecting crafters

The spawn point is located slightly below the plateau the Namazu are on, so while it's probably the closest aetheryte to a hunt in the zone, it's still too far away to threaten anyone.

While the leves may be faster, that bit of EXP(plus story if that's your thing) from the beast tribe definitely helps(heck, my 50-59 crafters are getting 300k-500k EXP - level dependant - from Moogle's, per quest). That...and I'm not much of a crafter right now...still working on that.

I don't know about A and S rank being a problem, as long as those people do their business at the tribe's area. The Namazu are going to be in an area of the Azim Steppe that's supposedly only accessible by flying and there will be an aetheryte to teleport there as well.

Not to sound mean but they literally just announced it, like 3 days ago. Maybe you don't follow LL's

I normally do but I have been extremely busy this month due to personal issues needing to be dealt with.

Also, they did not show it in the trailer which was another reason why I was curious if they planned on it or not since they normally would show it in the trailer as well.

I notice this patch trailer seems to heavily focus on the DoW/DoM content this time only.

Do we really need another Crafting-Beast Tribe?

Ixal is for crafting up to level 50, Moogles for up to 60, Namazu for Level 70.

Though they're going to run out of beast tribes come next expansion. You can't keep repeating the same formula and expect people to be enthusiastic about repeating the same thing they did before.
