This inspired the construction of the Skysteel Manufactory in the year 1483 of the Sixth Astral Era, where resident artisans to this day continue to invent weapons such as the ceruleum-propelled giant ballista, and the quad-barreled Bertha cannon. The city-state's engineers have devised and improved upon myriad dragon-killingĬontrivances. Through the centuries of lshgard's endless conflict with the Dravanians, Machinists focus on dealing ranged damage using a combination of firearms enhanced with various attachments and can deploy mechanical turrets to help them on the battlefield. The job is a mobile, ranged DPS class using guns as their main weapon. As new and devastating weapons are brought to the fray, a new class of champion arises to wield them ― the machinist. Great cannons and ballistae now line the city walls, plucking dragons from the sky.įollowing the example of Cid Garlond, who has demonstrated the potency of magitek, the Skysteel Manufactory works tirelessly on the development of advanced armaments.

As her dragoons lay down their lives in defense of their home, Ishgard turns to technology to protect her sons and daughters. With no end in sight, the Holy See grows desperate.
