Painter Class

[Stormfur]

I had an idea for a hybrid DoL/DoH class awhile back before 3.0 was released -- Mechanic. From a DoL standpoint, you could go on salvaging missions - picking up garlean/Allagan technology from abandoned airship/battle parts scattered from the fall of the moon. DoH-wise, they could craft thing that would augment airships or mounts. Jetpacks, anyone? Hoverboards?

I really can't back this...I do want a new crafter, but I just can't think of anything viable, and everything this 'class' could do could easily just be tacked onto alchemist.

I actually made a post a while back about adding a Painter/Pictomancer Job, which was essentially the DoW version of this. Where they acted like Relm from FF6, using their portraits to act as a sort of Blue Mage. Which I think would be more awesome than just adding in the usual Blue Mage Job itself.

Honestly the class would also need to be able to make much more, say useable useless stuff like sparklers, fireworks, special effects and just a wide variety of "Oh why not" to make them worth while, useless sure but same thing as glamour its just to have fun, why people (least I know myself) bought 99 of each firework and big bang from the anniversary the day before it left. It doesn't have to have a purpose for people to want it and level it. I know I'd level it myself.

you wanna smack ifrit in the head with a nice rembrandt? such a shame ...


I do like the idea of crafting classes for other things besides battle. But they probably need to expand on housing or something, everyone is just buying that one thing for that one place.

What? There's plenty of other threads on the housing matters. Go to them if your still concerned about it.

No, it's a valid concern because you are talking about a class that, as part of the appeal in this thread, is making paintings. Paintings go in houses. How few players have access to private houses, or FC houses? (And for FC houses, how many are filled to the brim with the item limit and may not want to take X item down to put Y painting up?)

It's still on-topic.

Fine fine, maybe I overeacted a little. I just don't want to see any housing complaints and people stating the devs need to worry about something more important when it doesn't effect the class when its suppose to be fun anyway.

So, I'll take it as a fair concern for the class itself and not a biased comment. My bad to you both.

It is a cool concept, but prob better as a combat class. Maybe a Blue mage style?

Was it similar to my original suggestion made a few years back (possibly even during FFXIV 2.0 Alpha/beta) (^////^)

(Although my suggestion was regarding a DoM - an Artist for DoH would be pretty interesting).
