New DoL class idea

[Gralna]

Scavenger/Archaeologist wouldn't have this benefit, and I don't know if they'd make a class that purely exists to gather unique items. Maybe if they also added a DoH class that worked with bones or stone? Boneworker or Mason (maybe these two can be combined into one crafter class as well, since it seems their options would be limited otherwise).

The way it was implemented in LotRO, the parts of extinct civilizations they'd find would be ruined beyond use, but they could either be restored by crafters, or in case of some metal artifacts, melted down and remade into weapons/armor/accessories.

Chocobo digging in FFXI sounds exactly like what you're describing...would be awesome!
