Looks to be more Aht urhgan centric, still don't know if they have anything in store for the WotG areas.

Well there has to be somewhere to drop AFv2 for 5 new jobs now

Has SE ever made any promises that the five new jobs would have AF2? Or even AF+1? Or is that just an assumption we've all been making? I'm only personally familiar with SCH AF, but it seems as though it were designed for more than just mid-game use, and I have heard similar reports from others with other new jobs. I kind of envision that SE wasn't really sure what they were doing when they released AF1 for the original jobs, then released AF2 as sort of "supplemental equipment" to actually play to the way the player base had taken the jobs. Perhaps they anticipated better with the newer jobs and aren't planning on making new AF at all?

New event that drops items that unlock new abilities / spells instead of equippable items please.

I've hoped for a long time that they will add items that involves complicated quests and/or events, that when used teach you a new ability or spell. I got happy when that was the case with Klimaform, but I don't have much hope they will do that in the future ; ;

And SE said in an interview when asked about it something to the extent of "Just wait. It took several years for the old jobs to get their AF2. The new jobs can wait."

i always thought an odin scroll dropping from odin would be interesting. Unique spells that dropped from HNM would be pretty sweet if you ask me

My personal wish for an end game area in WotG is something a bit of a mix between current end game area systems. It'd be something like this:

Imagine Sky, with the pop NMs and bosses, a bit area, with multiple teleporters, etc, but instanced. What is the difference between current instanced content? Well, to start the Salvage system does not allow multiple parties to aim for multiple targets. Basicly, once a floor is done and finished, you are forced to port everyone to the next stage. Also, the targets are pretty minimal, making it not very interesting to bring more than 6 and specialy not two teams to split and accomplish realy different objectives. Now, if you can imagine an instanced Sky area, you would have limited time to hunt different triggers with different parties and then decide to either pop bosses together or fight them with the individual squad. How does this differ from Dynamis? It would differ in the sense that Dynamis doesn't really have target bosses apart fromt he area boss. Ofcourse, there's time extensions, but in dynamis the idea is to fight big hordes of monsters, grab extensions and finish boss. The treasure comes from killing the most mobs possible in the allowed time, not from the target monsters (like it does in Salvage).

So by instancing a full giant end game area you would have to first of all plan accordingly what targets you want to hit that day, as you wouldn't be able to hit everything in the allowed time, what parties will go for what and work in parallel to accomplish the needed targets. These could be as simple as Sky triggers or as complex as multiple paths needed to achieve a single goal. Either way, the idea is to get a single huge area that lets you do a lot if you bring many people or less if you bring less but still leaving chance for small parties to do something. It would pretty much scale by itself because the whole area content would be there from the start and you'd be limited by your current team and the time allowed.

If I remember the interview cliffnotes correctly, this is the final update for ToAU content. It was supposed to happen after the first WotG update, and other than the three month period between updates, it seems to be on track. After this new content addition, we should see WotG-onry stuff.
