    Idea

    So an idea just popped into my head. What if you could get a job for DoH classes?

    The way I'm envisioning it is there would be 2+ available per class but picking one would mean you couldn't pick the other ones for that class. They wouldn't remove any of the current recipes but would enable you to make new things.

    I'm thinking it would be like specializing so for culinarian the jobs could be Baker, Grill master, Soup master. With each job having a new set of recipes so Baker would get a bunch of baked goods, and Grill master would get a bunch of Grilled items to make but wouldn't be able to make the special baked items.

    I can't readily think of specializations for the other jobs through since armor/blacksmith are sort of already specialized aspects of the same thing. (and goldsmith for that mater.)

    Maybe down the road they will. Maybe the ARM/BSM could specialize in one type of metal, bronze, mythril, cobalt etc.. Add some specialized armor or weapons. Same for carpenter. GSM could maybe do on specific type of jewelery, rings, necklace, earrings. Same could go for the rest, specialize in one or two types of material.

    Jobs for DoW/DoM have fewer cross class skills to choose from, and only get one for every 10 levels instead of every 5. It could really add variety to crafting if you don't have the same generic set of skills for each craft.

    On the other hand endgame crafting is such that you pretty much have to HQ stuff, something that would be near impossible to do without 10 skills (inlusinf Tricks of the Trade, Hasty Touch, Steady Hand II and Byregot's Blessing). SE would really have to revamp crafting before jobs can be feasible

    I need to talk with my FC buddy that lives on crafting. We were talking about cross class skills since I had just gotten my first crafter to 50 (Thank you Beast Tribe). I was talking about ToT and he mentioned that he really didn't use it. He actually planned out all his skills and when to use them ahead of time, so his reasoning was "There are only 2 or 3 places where I would be able to use it in my chain. So it's not as important". It kind of blew my mind as I LIVE off of ToT and Hasty Touch.

    You can HQ at least the 2 stars with only 3 cross class skills if you are geared enough.

    ^This, if DoH Soul Crystals gave stat increases like the DoW & DoM then I could see jobs being feasible with only 5 cross class abilities.
