Here!

So, that armour is going in Heavensward, and it's Aymeric's set along with his deputy. Perhaps we'll see some Ishgardian knights (GLD class) who aren't dragoons now?

I mean, damn...even I want that...but my RP demands I cannot, alas!

Are you talking NPC's or people RP'ing as Ishgardians?

Marisa · **04-27-2015, 05:19 AM**

I was actually a little angry when I saw that armor for the first time. Because I'm a healer and I know it'll be DoW-locked. Easily the best set they've made thus far.

I was wondering about that. Every other piece of gear we can preview is for DRG, so are DRGs going to look like knights? It would be a little weird to just throw in one random PLD preview while the rest are DRG.

Dragoons ARE knights.

I've had an Ishgardian Wildwood for a while who isn't a Dragoon and never will be. His backstory is that he grew up in a mercenary camp, where the kind of training to make a Dragoon would be in short supply. Instead, he's just good with swords/daggers due to a lifelong association with them.

He also rigs up stills whenever he lives someplace for longer than a week a brews horrifying alcoholic concoctions, but tha't just part of his 'charm'.

All (canon) Dragoons are Ishgardian knights. Not all Ishgardian knights are Dragoons. But yes! We do see some Ishgardian NPCs in the main story using PLD skills, and Aymeric's sword looks a bit similar to the Curtana. It wouldn't surprise me if there are Temple Knights in Ishgard's ranks who are trained in skills and spells similar to the Sultansworn, but it would be nice to have something concrete on that point.

I've already met/become aware of more than a few Ishgardian roleplayers that aren't dragoons. Most are basic knights, some are Temple Knights. Some are healers/medics/doctors. There's an astrologian here and there (and we'll probably end up seeing quite a bit more of those).

Responding to the above, there is actually a Temple Knight shown in 2.55 equipped with a conjury wand.

Indeed there is, as well as during the fight with the impostor Inquisitor during the Coerthas leg of 2.0.

Reilan is an Ishgardian knight who isn't a dragoon. He is trained with the lance but prefers his sword and shield.

Virella · **04-27-2015, 11:08 AM**

If you're aiming at PCs; there are plenty of non-dragoons around! In fact, I know more non-dragoon PCs than dragoons as it stands. Mostly sword and shield wielding knights in truth.

As for NPCs? We got plenty of those as well. Just because they hold a lance doesn't mean they are dragoon after all! Sword and shield wielding scum are there as well, conjurers, bowmen and I even spotted pugilists in the 2.55 scenario!

TheLastCandle · **04-27-2015, 11:21 AM**

Mm, well, Yvelont is a dragoon by virtue of having slain a dragon during his service, but for all intents and purposes is simply a (ex) knight. He's well-versed in sword, lance, and axe but I don't have him relegated to any certain "job." If I had to give him an FF class, I'd say he's a Fighter.

Astrologians practice ancient Sharlayan arts. Not to be confused with Astrologians employed in the Observatorium.

I'm aware of that, but Ishgardian astrologians are presently being played. Virella is one, I think.

Ayup, as it's been stated: Many non-sultansworn/free paladin Isghardian Knights around. Mine in fact is one of them though he's transferring to Dragoon and such through RP and story.

Also Temple Knights > Sultansworn *shots fired*
