This vocation offers moderate to sharp boosts in all categories and drops in none of them. Upon mastering the vocation, characters will gain a strong resistance to all status ailments and elements.

==Requirements==

In order to become an Estark, a character must first master the [[Rashaverak (Vocation)|Rashaverak]] and [[Slaughtomaton (Vocation)|Slaughtomaton]] ~~classes~~. ~~There is a very low chance of obtaining an~~ Estark Heart ~~from battling~~ the [[Ersatz Estark~~|monsters with the same name]] in~~ [[~~Cave to Yet Another World~~]]

In order to become an [[Ersatz Estark]], a character must first master the [[Rashaverak (Vocation)|Rashaverak]] and [[Slaughtomaton (Vocation)|Slaughtomaton]] vocations. Although the Ersatz Estark Heart exists in the files for the original Sony PlayStation version, it is unobtainable by normal means. In the [[Nintendo 3DS]] version, it became possible to acquire an Ersatz Estark Heart as a reward by creating a [[Traveller's Tablet]] with one as a boss and defeating one.
