Painter

 is a subclass in Elder Tale.

Overview
One skill of a Painter is to create pictures that can be sold for money, its value depending on the Painter’s subclass level. The paintings are considered as furniture and thus can be collected and displayed in guild halls.

However its greatest feature is its ability to create image data using a simple drawing tool dedicated for this function and to save it. The saved picture can then be turned into a “stamp” and used to decorate flags, signs, equipment like shields or cloaks and walls of guild facilities. Painter can be said to be a subclass for in-game craftsmen.

To see Earthling Painters is a very rare occurrence, not because no one paints, but because having the title is difficult. There are various kinds of painters: court painters employed by specific patrons, renowned painters who managed to gain fame, unsuccessful ones whose paintings never sold or young people who dream of becoming such. However, few actually succeed living out of this unless they find customers, most of the time aristocrats and wealthy merchants, so the absolute number of Painters is small among People of the Land.

A detailed article was written on this subclass in “Log Horizon Wednesday Vol. 28”.
