Architect

, also called Designer, is a subclass in Elder Tale.

Overview
A subclass specialized in designing various buildings such as castles, mansions, forts, barricades and even urban infrastructures like waterways and streets.

Compared to Carpenters, who focus on practical buildings like houses, warehouses and water mills, Architects come up with the designs and fulfill the role of both craftsman and artist. There seems to be some of them exclusively working on aristocratic pavilions and gardens.

Adventurer and Earthling with this subclass had different functions before the Catastrophe, as Adventurers were unable to undertake large-scale projects like civil engineering or actual buildings. It was more a hobby subclass with skills that provide bonuses in special zones such as castles and forts or could increase a guild hall expansion limit. Logically, Architects are mainly active in urban areas.

There is a detailed article written about it in the Theldesia Gazette Vol. 2.
