Gathering Class for Monster Drops

[Shadygrove]

I just posted this in the DoL forum:

Long, long ago in 1.x there was a shepherd class but only in the .dats. It was assumed that this would be the wool and skin gathering job but it was never implemented.

The guild hall still exists today in CCH.

I doubt they're going to create a gathering class for monster drops. Those are a way for all players to get items and earn gil.

Did you even craft with steppe serge?

Yes, I did. I made quite a bit of gil while I was at it because so many players were too lazy to do their own farming so I could sell my leftovers at ridiculous prices. I'll admit the farming was annoying while I was still leveling my DoW job but once I got to 70 and obtained some gear, it wasn't that bad.

There are already 17 jobs in the game capable of gathering monster drops (18 if you want to include Blue Mage). When it comes to Norvrandt drops, the gemstone traders are an optional source. And of course we still have Hunting ventures on our DoW/DOM retainers.

There is no need for another gathering class dedicated to these items when we use the sources we already have for them.
