No AFs for DoH/DoL classes?

[Nakiamiie]

Not yet, but post 2.0, but I would like to see the DoH/DoL get their own AF and maybe some sort of job/advanced class system as well.

Here are some job ideas based on increasing the scale of DoH/DoL work:

Botanist >> Gardener - grow plants in a small farm
Miner >> Archaeologist - excavates ancient bones, relics, etc..
Fisher >> Trawler - deep sea fishing with nets

Tanner >> Sailmaker - makes sails, kites, balloons, etc..
Alchemist >> Enchanter - creator of enchanted items
Armorer >> Engineer - machine parts (magitek)
Blacksmith >> Forgemaster - heavy weapons for vehicles, mounts
Carpenter >> Builder - construction of buildings for player/LS estates
Culinarian >> Chef - AOE/party foods
Goldsmith >> Watchmaker - delicate gears and controls (magitek)
Weaver >> Embroiderer - Decorative carpets, emblems

Very nice idea!!!
I really see this coming into the game, we just need this!!

Even though the focus is put on battling disciplines for the progression of the story, Discipline of the Hand (and Land) is very popular and appreciated by many players. This would be an excellent way to expand on the Discipline of the Hand, introduce new unique mini-games and revitalize that Discipline!

I really hope the devs put that on their TO DO list for Discipline of the Hand (and Land).
Thank you very much Zantetsuken for your awesome idea!

I just want a lumberjack hat for botanists, and a classic miner style hardhat with a head lamp you can toggle on/off. (or maybe nighttime/in caves turns it on?)

They aren't allowed to drink alcohol, however. Afer all, they're just miners.

Add this to your signature with your other excellent ideas lol

AF are for jobs.
DoH and DoL don't have jobs yet.
Maybe later. They could give the alchemist the chemist job I think ^^

personally i always thought the jobs system would be a good way to give DOL and DOH battle abilities

[jwang]

One downside to all this: Inventory hoarding. I already got a crapton of stuff on retainer and myself at all times and that's with minimizing gear used (shared gear, no accessories), and now you want me to also keep all the AF weapons/tools/armors as well? So long inventory...

[Hayden]

We'll see AF gear in later patches....its just not a priority for now. But at least take pride in the fact that we have been given our AF tools before anyone else has their af weapons.

I want this, where it be!?

DoL/DoH are not classes.. just things to do on the side. Face facts.

The 2.0 docs make mention of instance content that will include DoL/DoH classes as does Yoshida's recent letter when he talks about hamlet defense.

What DoL/DoH don't have are jobs associated with them, or at least not at this time. No jobs means no AF I guess.

[Rukkirii]

Confirmed with Yoshida that we will be adding artifact armor for Disciples of the Hand and Land in the future. Since it will take some time to implement all of the gear pieces, as well as ways to obtain them, the dev. team will be looking into adding the most prominent pieces for each class first.

Ouch the truth hurts.
