    Archon Tattoo as a Reward

    Just as the title says. Would you all like to have the Scions's Archon tattoo as a reward for something significant we do un Old Sharlayn? Twould make a nice new "face paint" option. Especially if we we're given vaeious types for different body parts. Urianger has it on his cheek, Lewibaton had it on his balding head and the rest of the Scions have their's on each side of their necks.

    Thoughts?

    Also Y'shtola's head still needs to be shaved. FOR SCIENCE!!!! //slapped

    It's not something I'd likely toggle on, but it has been on my mind for a few years now. I'm actually a bit surprised it hasn't happened yet after repeat world-saving shenanigans. It also seems like the kind of thing that would have been appropriate for the endcap quest after finishing everything in the Studium.

    Yes!!! At this point, we're an expert when it comes to all crafting and gathering skills aligned with all the Studium quests. Giving us an Archon tattoo, along with a title like "Archon of Gathering/Crafting" or something would have been a really nice reward.

    Archon tattoo would be pretty neat.

    I don't think it'll ever be a thing because those that have it are people who stuck it out with 1.0. Making a reward you can do in a quest or on mogstation cheapens that notion of "I was there when the calamity happened".

    When you deal with human beings, never count on logic or consistency.

    Fluid like water. Smooth like silk. Pepperoni like pizza.

    I'm one of those people and... I really don't care. lol Put it on the upper thigh or forehead for all I care. That being said, i find it very, very ugly. The 'I survived 1.0' - tattoo at least looks decent.

    The tattoo they got was for the Circle of Knowing, wasn't it? That would be different from an Archon's mark.

    Yeah the 1.0 tattoo is on the back and looks like a meteor strike/sun ray thingy and isn't the Arcchon Mark. I still don't know why Urianger chose to have it be put on his face. Like owwwwwww. I would only want it to be an optional thing. Though would you want the formal or informal?

    Lewibaton had it done on the top of his balding head. He was merely following his master's example. xD

    And why not all the above. The neck, cheek and head Archon tattoos should all be a thing for our WoL. Just...not all once. xD

    It looks sort of like a Duskwight cultural tattoo in that position – in fact, that's what I initially assumed it was.

    He does have a Wildwood model, but I think it could make sense that he's part-Duskwight and wants to mark that culture. If intentional by the designers, it wouldn't be the first time that NPC models haven't lined up with the actual character's clan, and we know Elezen cultures are more diverse than the character creation choice portrays. His profile in the lorebook just says he's Elezen.
