Artificer

Artificer (also translated as Artisan or Craftsman) is one of the production subclasses in Elder Tale.

Overview
This subclass is the basis of the Production subclasses, as it allows a player to create a large variety of trinkets and accessories.

Artificer being a general term for “craftsman specialized in small craft”, there are some kinds of sub-divisions that depend on the material: metal, jewel, plants, animal products and magical material, but as some of these categories are too limited to be a subclass by themselves they are gathered in the Artificer. That’s why it is considered the starting point and the generalist route of crafting.

Since accessories are relatively unrestricted by class or race, the demand is bigger and more stable than those for more limited equipment like music instruments or weapons and because of the abundance of material they can use, the subclass is considered easy to level at the beginning and the demand for them is quite high, as they can craft various magic items.

Among the People of the Earth, Artificers can only be found in cities, the majority belonging to guilds or working for influential nobles. Few Landers are wealthy enough to afford magical equipment but after the Catastrophe some Adventurers have begun to pay more attention to it as a way to strengthen them.

Adventurers can become Artificer by clearing a few quests from the Master Artificer or by purchasing an Artificer's Handbook from an NPC in a town zone.

Artificer Skills
Artificers are able to create intricate jewerly and other decorative items.

After the Catastrophe, these skills can be applied toward creating devices and objects that did not previously exist in Elder Tale. Like the blacksmiths, carpenters and other crafting subclasses, this overskill can make an Artificer's role become even more potent.
