In the Aldgoat bestiary entry on the official site, it hints at the ability to raise certain livestock:

"Aldgoats can be successfully domesticated and raised as livestock provided they are broken before their second year."
Perhaps some sort of "Farmer" or "Breeder" job will become available? I think that could be/would be a lot of fun, especially if it included a large variety of animals and not only Aldgoats/Chocobos.

If such a discipline is implemented, how would you like it to work?
What should be the main goal of raising/breeding animals? Slaughter?
What kind of equipment/skills should be available to this discipline?

Discuss!

Awesome, this sounds like a lot of fun.

This could be a great way to improve the beastmaster class from FFXI, using mostly the same equipment as the previous job. Raising the animals could be something of a craft/trade, for fighting along side during solo missions or to help raise money on FFXIV (seeing as there is no Auction House being added, I wonder how players will earn money).

Maybe beastmasters will have to raise their pets, or the pets that they raise will have improved stats compared to one they charm in the wild.

It would be interesting to see specific abilities the job/craft/trade would grant players, such as longer chocobo riding, easier charm on monsters (if beastmaster is part of FFXIV) or even maybe improving stats for monsters to participate areana battles (if FFXIV includes any feature like that), although it could be something totally different! xD

^ Just random ideas, lol.

I'm looking forward to hearing more about this! :D

I noticed that on the site as well, and I figure it's a Discipline of the Land.

And if it's true, I will definitely be taking part! Hehe, I can't wait to raise virtual animals! :onion62:

I really hope they offer a way to raise pets, or multiple pets. Maybe have a part of the "artifact" line of quests be to earn a "stable" of sorts where you can cater to your animals more readily.

I'm excited to see how they implement certain aspects of a beast job, hopefully they've learned from previous mistakes with the job.
