So with that anyone not of Sharlayan birth would likely be able to do nothing more than the most basic of Astrologian spells. I actually really like that write up though Kilieit and will keep that on bookmark for future use. Though iirc from the Bard questline I thought there was actually now a contingent of Bards within the Gods' Quiver. I'll be the first to admit though I really didn't pay attention to the 50-60 quests.(05-22-2017, 09:33 PM)Kilieit Wrote: In terms of jobs, I wrote up this describing how easy (or not) the various job stones are to get ahold of (excluding Stormblood jobs, although I'd speculate they'll be RDM/3 and SAM/4). Most people I've met whose characters use job crystals ICly don't tend to go above Rank 3 as I described them there, unless their character's backstory is specifically tied in to a Rank 4 crystal.I read the article and its pretty good, though I think you might've rated Astrologian a bit high. If its getting a hold of a Soul Crystal then, yes, that's probably where it belongs. If its learning how to be an Astrologian, then the ending of the 50-60 AST quests shows us that the teaching will be spread, so really, it wouldn't be difficult to learn it from scratch.
If your character's abilities are within the realm of a class, though, you'll probably be okay in most people's books. Class characters don't have to be underpowered or boring - just as job characters don't have to be overpowered and attention-grabby. Classes are just less likely to immediately turn off a (honestly, pretty small) sub-set of the community.

"Can you actually do that to a man?"Â
