The '''Luminary''' | The {{translation|'''Luminary'''|スーパースター|Sūpāsutā|Superstar}} or '''Superstar''' is an intermediate vocation in the series, focusing more on jaw-dropping style than fighting. These performers offer great support to their allies. | ||

Beyond from having the highest style of any vocation, the Luminaries have very poor stat growth and will depend on other party members to handle enemies. They are a support profession first and foremost. | Beyond from having the highest style of any vocation, the Luminaries have very poor stat growth and will depend on other party members to handle enemies.

'''Luminary''' is an advanced vocation that is not available at the start of the game, requiring players to complete a quest first in the postgame. It is the only vocation that requires players to clear the game first. The most charming of vocations, it is not uncommon for them to stun even bosses with their jaw-dropping style and charm. | |||
To unlock the Luminary vocation, you must complete [[Template:DQIXQuest/118|Quest #118: A Star is Born]]. To start the quest, head to the dance hall in [[Gleeba]] and speak to Applaudia. She wants you to defeat a [[Moai minstrel]] with the [[Minstrel]]'s [[Hot Lick]] skill. Since moai minstrels can only be found starting from rank 8 cave and water-type grottoes, it may take some time to complete unless the player happens to receive the right treasure map from someone else. | |||
Luminaries have poor Strength and Resilience, requiring them to rely on powerful weapon abilities from other vocations or utilise their support skills. They learn the full range of Woosh spells and some healing magic. The amount of armour they can equip is quite broad, ranging from suits of armour to robes. | |||

The | The Luminary was added to the game in the Version 1.2 update. They specialise in debilitating the enemy in different ways, such as stunning, confusing, and putting them to sleep, and they have access to the entire line of Woosh spells. Luminaries can equip [[Whip]]s, [[Fan]]s, [[Wands]], and [[Shield]]s, as well as [[Scythe]]s starting with the Version 5.0 update. Some of their unique abilities require the use of gold instead of MP. In online play, the vocation is often abbreviated to [{{translation|スパ|Supa}}] or [{{translation|スパスタ|Supasuta}}] | ||

A character must have first reached level 50 in the Dancer and Gadabout vocations to unlock the Luminary, and their weapons of choice are [[Knives]], [[Staff|Staves]], [[Whip]]s, and [[Boomerang]]s. A banner was held from October 9th, 2020 to November 26th, 2020 with special equipment based on the Luminary's design for the game. The vocation's design is quite unique for the series, with the characters wearing flashy, modern-style street fashion and multicoloured hair like pop idols. | ||
