none of this stuff, except for Fray being involved with Rielle and Sidurgu before his death were mentioned in the DRK questline.

mind sharing some of the cool MCH stuff, if you don't mind? sorry for being greedy, I don't have the lorebook, and I'm trying to decide between MCH and DRK as my character's primary job. leaning MCH at the moment.

Apologies for not responding sooner.

Machinist Stuff:

Limit Break is called Satellite Beam. Uses a "crystal drive unit" so I'm guessing it's meant to be a device that soaks up aether as the battle goes on and can be activated once it has a sufficient amount.

Ricochet uses small Ishgardian Steel plates cast out (to specific points I assume) as reflectors to bounce a shot between targets.

The tech itself for Machinist came about when Stephanivien de Halillenarte (age 30) decided to mix the magitek that had begun to use with the help of Garlond Ironworks (via a contract for "technological exchange" made with Jessie Baler, the Deputy President of GI) with aetherology. Key to that tech is the aetherotransformer, created by Stephanivien.

The side-apron tool pouch of the Machinist's attire carries the transformer, ammo, and other gadgets used.

The firearm Ferdinand uses a "wind crystal-pressurized cartridge" instead of Firesand. Peddled at market as a priceless antique to recoup high construction costs as the design was seen as overly ambitious.

Actual antique, the Pre-Imperial Garlean Revolver was the first to use a cylindrical magazine. Exquisitely decorated revolvers often awarded to those whose rank gained them the title "tol" or higher. This particular model was basically a museum piece kept by the Sharlayans, which is why it can be found in the Great Gubal Library.

Peacemaker - of Allagan make and found at Silvertear Falls, uses lightning crystals to increase a shot's initial velocity.
