Thread: 4.0 new gathering class?

While the current meta is set in stone, I was wondering if there would be room for a fourth gathering class, a class that would benefit crafting but at the same time be profitable on it's own.

I'd like to see a Scavenger class. Main hand a shovel, off hand a portable detector.

You go around the world scavenging junk and other random unique "discarded items" and those can be desynthed by crafting classes into valuable materials, trade for scrips, or put on the market board. The Scavenger's guild lore would act as a bit of a pawn shop, or what ever that place is from the new Star Wars movie where you sell junk for coin.

Kind of got the idea from that movie, and since 4.0 has some desert landscape it would be a perfect place to place the guild... or it can be in Mor Dhona or something. Also borrowed some inspiration from Fallout 4 where half the game is just you scavenging junk to sell and build settlements with.

It would work similar to fishing, instead of water, you have tons of land to explore. So yeah, you're literally digging up junk, but the game will throw you a shiny bone once in a while and you might find something with a high value. Sometimes you might find a treasure chest, except those won't spawn monsters haha.
