You cannot be an Astrologian without getting 3.0 and in 3.0 Ishgard is open for one reason or another. I'm willing to gamble that even though we are allowed into the city, not all establishments will be so welcoming to outsiders. However, I'm sure it would be up for negotiation if someone was so skilled they could be accepted into the fold.(03-17-2015, 04:45 AM)Vysce the Lad Wrote: Why would the Ishgardians let your character join?I'm going to have to very, very strongly suggest against making a character that has been "let in" to Ishgard in the present era (IE the past twenty years of Ishgardian isolation). The lore is extremely clear that NOBODY gets into Ishgard if they are not Ishgardian themselves. Even Ishgardians themselves appear to be under pretty strict rules regarding entering and leaving the city.
Now, if you're talking about an outsider joining the astrologians at the Observatorium in Coerthas specifically, that may be plausible. But still kinda iffy.
Unless you are set with a miqo'te being IN the city before it was closed. I don't have any real ideas for that scenario.
I fear from that I've managed to gather, the Astrologians are just as annoyed at outsiders as any other Ishgardian. In fact the head of the Observatorium in Coerthas wishes for outsiders to stop entering the tower, if it were up to him.
They are happy enough to accept students though, but only those from Ishgardian soil.
Outsiders won't be taught a thing until Heavensward hit I fear.
So I fear your Miqo'te has to have Ishgardian roots before the city shut off for outsiders in order to be allowed into the Observatoriums and learn the craft. And otherwise? Eh, it is just a few months off to Heavensward!
