Specialist System
Specialist System is an advancement system for Crafting classes introduced in Heavensward (3.0). By completing a special quest, players can receive a specialized soul for each of the Disciples of the Hand. Equipping this soul will give access to unique actions that allow for more efficient and higher-quality synthesis for that class.
Soul of the Crafter
Players can hold up to three Soul of the Crafter. You will need to relinquish one of your three specialized souls if you wish to specialize in a different discipline.
- Players will receive three souls of the crafter upon completion of Beloved of the Builder, which are required to receive a specialized soul. However, players will be unable to obtain additional souls, possibly until a future update. It is also suggested from Alderan (the NPC who issues the souls) that it is possible to change a specialization, but it may be very difficult.
Unlock
Once you have attained level 55 in any crafter class, you may accept a quest Beloved of the Builder from Lydirlona in Revenant's Toll (x22, y6). Upon completion, you will receive three Soul of the Crafter. To exchange them for a specialized soul, speak to Alderan (who originally issued the souls) in The Pillars (x14,y10), and trade one of them for the unique, equippable souls.
