New disciples of hand/land?

[Altijacek]

I know we aren't getting one for the expansion, but maybe every other expansion would be nice? Not a whole army of them, just one more of each? With guns and gadgets coming around, and all that mechanical stuff, an engineer crafter would be cool. He can make guns, airship parts, maybe some weapons for other classes, and maybe some armor for tanks that looks more mechanical or whatever.

As for land, it'd be nice to see either farmer/shepherd that plays differently from the other disciples of land, or archaeologist that uncovers ruins no finds cool junk like such. Though calling that a discipline of the land is a stretch.

Personally I thought "Machinist" wasn't a very good name for a combat class. It sounds like a crafting name but I'm pretty sure you won't be able to craft your own guns. At least not on that class anyway. If anything it will probably get shoved into Blacksmith.
I have not progressed the Ixal beastmen Tribe but they already have some strange "parts" crafting. There was some kind of workshop teased in the trailer so we know that these are already covered.

I doubt them adding a farmer class because of the similarity with the Gardening system, which is also a bust that no one ever does. I get these "rare" seeds from my retainer ventures "items most rare!" yet they sell on the marketboards for pennies. It's because nobody gardens so nobody buys the seeds. The extremely few people who do Garden have enough of their own seeds. Shepherd for making meats and such animal related parts? That might be a good idea if the drop rate wasn't so high, and they were actually useful for things (or if the food you can make out of them was stronger). Right now all those meats and most of the parts are worthless on the marketboards also, because there's so many of it and not much to do with it.

I actually like your idea of Archaeologist. I'm worried though that it might be too similar to the Sightseeing system in the game, which nobody ever uses either. Too bad though, there are so many ancient ruins and places to explore with all these 'scientist' NPCs all over the place that they could very easily fit it into the open world and the lore would almost write itself, all you would have to do is slightly expand on what the NPCs are already saying.

Really I was wondering the same thing if they'd ever add any new DoH/DoL to the game, but when I actually thought it through, there isn't much to add at this point as most things are covered. They would have to get very creative about it.

I agree with most everything you have said and if they add the ability to make guns to existing crafters then the chance of an engineer crafter is nul. Which to me is sad. I am also sad to see alchemist used as a crafter. It could work as a DPS. And everyone who says no, just accept that they would have an unlimited stash of items, not consumable potions (like bard with arrows or alchemist in FFX-2). That said, they can add a chemist battle class as a healer.

But anyways I do hope they add at least one or two crafters and one or two gatherers in the future. I know they can. Another crafter could be something like a mystic, creating tarot cards and star globes and some other magical gear more specialized than weaver.

We need Animal Husbandry for mounts, minions, and animal parts.

That sounds more like an extension of gardening than a new DoL job.
Unless they just add "Farmer," make the weapon a pitchfork, and tie all that to them.

It depends on how they would do it. If you can level up and go out and capture certain mobs in the wild I could see it being a full job.

Well if you add raising, mating and slaughtering beasts it becomes Animal Husbandry. XD

It's not likely we'll get any more (what would they do, and how would you make room for them in the current crafting system?), but one more crafting class would be nice, so Gridania can finally have three.
