Astrologer

 is a subclass in Elder Tale. It is an advanced subclass derived from either the Fortune Teller or the Scholar. To get it, you just need to level one of these subclasses.

Overview
The Astrologer is someone who reads the stars to unravel unknown phenomena and also serves as an astronomer. So to speak, its characteristics are somewhere between those of a Fortune Teller and a Scholar, but it also has its own skills. The Astrologer is weaker in fortune-telling and research than its former counterparts, but some of its unique divination and detection skills are useful in large-scale battles.

Since it’s a special subclass, Astrologer does not compose a large proportion of the player population, and it is mostly either solo players or concentrated in small guilds and large Battle guilds. It is a little more popular in Yamato because they can wear a kimono like the other priestly subclasses.

Astrologer in Yamato is recognized as a holy/priestly subclass along the Talismancer and the Precant. That title is due to the role of Astrologers in the Holy Empire Westelande when it was still a unified nation all over Yamato. They performed rituals to ensure national prosperity, read the trajectory of the stars to guide the country and worked side by side with Nobles, even participating in political affairs, making them an important part of the governing body. Beside serving as a fortune teller, what makes Astrologer an important subclass is their job as calendar maker, as marking the movement of stars and constellations allows them to create accurate calendars. While they lost of their importance in the modern Yamato, especially in Eastal and Ezzo, they remain rare and respected people.

A detailed article was published about the Astrologer in the 4th volume of the Theldesia Gazette.
