We get new jobs every expansion of varying kinds, including some limited jobs like BLU and BST, but never any new gathering jobs. One job I have always thought would be neat and quite fun is Archaeologist (or similar). A gathering job that would have you gathering artifacts from Eorzea's past from gathering nodes, from small trinkets to larger artifacts.
As a former 1.0 player, I keep thinking that as much as we get new expansions with new locations, worlds, and dimensions that there is still a lot to explore in Eorzea itself. Such as the possible return of the West Shroud, Southern Mor Dhona, and the Eastern Coerthas Highlands and the continued exploration of places like the Pagith'an region or the underground ruins of Gelmorra, and other still hidden locations that could be discovered.
So here is the link between these two subjects I'd love to see (but never will)... Similar in nature to the current Cosmic Exploration content, it would be awesome to have some sort of "Archaeology of the Realm" type content, in which the Archaeologist job (along with the other Hand/Land jobs), would explore instanced zones (similar in nature to the South Horn and North Horn zones), where you get to explore and excavate areas from both FF14 1.0 (such as the West Shroud, Southern Mor Dhona) as well as places that were buried or flooded by the Calamity.
So you could be running through an instanced zone of the West Shroud, finding artifacts (or other materials from other jobs), to have appraised and turned in for rewards such as ancient mounts, minions, recipes, outfits and a whole bunch of things. For now, this content is just played in my head, but it would be neat.
(P.S... I'd take Southern Mor Dhona and West Shroud back as a full zone even.)
