The Dwarven Artisan
After level 19 and a class change quest, the Dwarven Fighter can become a Dwarven Artisan. The basis of the Artisan, and later Warsmith, class is to work with the community to make adena. The ability to level up often depends on the willingness of a group to take the character in, though their abilfgf lols supported by your unique crafting skills

Party Use
Generally, Artisans are not sought out in parties when other, more proficient tanks are available. Artisans lack the requisite Hate skill that keeps monsters attacking them even while damage dealers are doing most of the damage. Their spoil skills are far below Scavengers, who have Spoil level 2, and their stun attack is also usually thought to be less effective than others'.
Clan Use
For a clan, an Artisan can be highly desired based on their level of craft skill. In a well organized clan, the spoilers (Scavengers and Bounty Hunters) will gather the required materials and the crafters (Artisans and Warsmiths) will craft the items for members in the clan. The interdependence between the crafting classes and the spoiling classes is important to the Lineage II economy and clan cooperation makes this an easy way to help out fellow clan members.
