Disciple of Land: Trapper

[AesSedai]

I would like to see other ways of obtaining materials from animals other than farming or retainers. I think a new job like a trapper of some sort would be nice for gathering them in a more efficient way. It could be something in between fishing and mining/botany. Have nodes like miners and botanist, but use bait like fishers. So set the trap and return after a certain amount of time to the node. Be able to set up like 4 traps in a given level/area and the bait and level of the node helps determine what animal you will get. I would also like to see a bestiary with this or on its own as well. I would like to see what others think

p.s. I realized it has been mentioned before, but I didn't see much response as to if it was possible. It could also be a way to obtain animals for a housing related farm.

There actually was once a fourth Disciple of the Land class planned for the original version of FFXIV called 'Shepherd' that seems to have been intended to be similar to your 'Trapper' idea, and they even had an empty, unused Guildhall in Falcon's Nest in the Coerthas Western Highlands, sadly however it was never implemented and exactly how it worked is all conjecture (it's guildhall was not included in Falcon's Nest's rebuilding in Heavensward so all we can assume is that SE has officially abandoned the class.

Which is a shame as it would be an interesting concept - there was even a class icon for it floating around online (where exactly it was discovered I have no idea, I found it on a site that has long since disappeared sadly):



Shepherd. Never forget.

I kind of like the idea of new DoL and DoH jobs. I always thought it would be neat to have bone crafting split off from GSM, and have new bone armor to craft. Also, to go with it have like a scavenger job to dig up artifacts/bones to use with it.

It would be neat if we could do something like farming too. Like for food mats like milks and meats. Not sure how useful that is in endgame, but I think it could be cool if you could gather food mats from the animals and plants in your "farm".
