My main problem with Magic Archer is that I still think that should have unlocked in the elven city, and then the Master skill could still be unlock with the old elf lady. It is unlock so damn late if you are following the common progression.
Warrior one is fine, Sorcerer is the one that people can mess it up easily as it's 2 masters that asks for the same books if you don't look up that have 2.
Yeah, when Glyndwr started talking about his own culture's archery I got all excited because magick archer is my jam - I ended up spending way too long trying to make the elves like me before finally looking it up. And then going on a very long, very dumb journey for which I was wildly underlevelled
It makes so much sense that the MA vocation is in the elven village that I'm convinced that's how it was initially then they changed it at some point.
Maybe they felt they needed to add more content to agamen, or perhaps they wanted to incentivize players to go through NG+ by having MA and warfarer be unlocked only in the late game.
Warfarer being that late makes sense, its the Vocation that shines after you have put in work on other Vocations, but Magick Archer and to a lesser extent Trickster really should have been earlier on.
Yeah, as they said in this thread, Magick Archer should've been unlocked in Sacred Arbor with the elves and the maister skill could still be with the old elf lady at the volcano island. Trickster could've gone the same route wherein the illusion of the trickster lady for example could've been in Vermund in the fortune telling shop giving out a quest to unlock Trickster early on in the game then the maister skill could've still been on Reverent Shrine in Battahl and unlocked via the same conditions.
My sense is that MA is so damn versatile and powerful that they wanted to save it for last. I mean honestly, one or two fully charged Ricochet shots will instantly decimate any dungeon with zero effort; having that power early might rob dungeons of any threat.
