Painter Class

[Kurogaea]

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.

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).

Why not battle paint buff items so it makes it relevant for combat classes? Could give buffs and stack with food.

I think we are missing a clear idea that a painter DoH class could do, tattoos. A lot of people like the gear that has tattoos added to their designs and a painter or rather artist can do that. I think the name painter is what might be throwing people off but if you think about all thr things an artidt can do you get a lot more than just paintings and dies.

Tattoo designs for head, body arms and legs
House paintings
Outdoor sculptures
Outdoor murals
Dyes (new ones)
Sculpture minions
New mats in the form or crafting dyes (for crafters to use, not us), turpentine, blown glass, painted silks, paper, etc
If we ever get "buffing" items for the jobs, artists can make new cards for Astro, talismans for Ninja

And I am sure there are other items that could be added, but my well has run dry, T.T

I thought it was meant in a sort of social way. Like painting art for houses and other things. Like we now have music instruments, but you cant play notes and thus no music.

So when i say "expand on housing or whatever" i mean something like "you want to have a museum or whatever?" I also like the idea of sculpture making, why not make your own for a garden? Or have a contest for those who are into it and place a player made sculpture in the housing areas through an SE event. Art is everywhere, so why not put some of it in the game, staring with paintings.

Emblems for weapons, mainly shields. Maybe summoner and scholar weapons. Pieces of crafts for other crafts. Furniture in the form of paintings and such. Tattoos. Maybe items. Best thing would be emblems that add abilities or increase stats as a new piece of armor but that's either too much work, more responsibilities to add, or a pain to balance (or all of the above).

[Ronove]

I played a game once that had a painter crafting class and the paintings gave you buffs like the food does here.

Somehow I'd don;t think the devs are gonna add any more DoL/H jobs, so I think the Artist class would be better serve as a DoM job

[Stormfur]

What if the painter had the ability to make additional glamours? Like designs that layer on top of existing armor or change the pattern on it? Let's face it, most of the armor pieces don't really go together unless you get the whole set.

[Havenchild]

Aside from all the other uses with dyes people mentioned, they could allow for more in-depth coloring options. Currently when you dye an armor, multiple parts are colored as well that you don't want or some parts remain uncolored that you wish were (EX: Augmented Healer Robe AF1). Considering this games glamour focal points, I think that a class that can be used to self enhance or self-color to own desire could be huge. Designing Tattoos would be another really big thing if the users can do it themselves. Thats a whole new market entirely.

As for paintings in houses or tattoos, imagine if you could make designs from irl tablet drawings. Frankly, I'd argue, a Artist or Painter style class is largely missing from a game like this.
