Few ideas - being able to see latest msgs first. MSGS DESCENDING/ MSGS DESC - artefact for occultists - Deck of Infinity (or Deck of Unnamed Artist). Unlimited cards of all varieties for use. Eliminates need to ink cards.
MSG LISTR
Yeah, this already exists. You can also do MSG LISTR SENT.

Inscribing tarot cards is extremely straight forward and fits in with other classes needing to "prep" some stuff to fight. Being able to inscribe 20 at a time also makes things easier, even more so with a quill.
I can't see a need for unlimited tarot. I'm saying this as a Jester / Occie for most of my 16yrs playing time.
I don't mind the inscribing itself, but a full deck is 2.2m gold (2.3m if you have 5k blanks for backup). Jesters' upkeep isn't comparable to any other class, because in addition to cards we need wood, rope, iron, diamond dust, cheese, venoms and props (though obviously cube eliminates that last cost).
Wtf are you inscribing as part of a "full deck" that costs over 2m gold????
About 3 RL yrs ago I had a deck with 25k cards in, I fought a fair bit.. I still have 22k left (which I now can't access). How you even think you need 5k blanks, on top of everything else, is beyond me.
Commodities cost more than tarot and props combined. If we want to talk Jester upkeep, that's what stands out to me.
I'm confident props cost is a non-issue since filling up and getting a new blackjack is only 6,500 gold. It's so cheap I can't see any reason to get a cube besides fun, unless it has another advantage I'm unaware of e.g. wishing with broken limbs or paralysis when you couldn't get gold from a container.
Re: tarot, I'm not sure anyone needs a completely full deck. Some cards get used very infrequently, and anyone who fights competitively is probably not hurting for gold. I found the cost of cards warranted the Rurin trait and by the mid-50s I was earning enough gold from bashing that I buy more cards than I use.
I would love to see player-crafted cards from wood commodities though. Bulk discounts please.
Prop usage can be obscene. If you fight a lot, you’ll blow through mickies and itchpowder unless your only strategies are cheesy. Mousey? Anyway.
As for tarot cards, jesters flat out don’t use that many tarot cards over the course of a fight. You have a couple or three cards that you lean on in groups, but that’s not the only thing you’re doing and spamming them is useless once their effects are up. There will never ever ever be a case where you need to even dream about filling up your deck. I don’t even keep 100 of every card for the most part. The only cards that don’t stay in the red are empress, hangedman, aeon, universe, fool, and hermit. I certainly don’t have hundreds of those lying around either.
I have close to 200 of every card, with more of anything I use as someone who hasn't started fighting yet. So mainly Fool, Chariot, Universe and Priestess. Those last 2 I inscribed over 500 of and I'm getting close to red again already.
Re: Jesters in group, 'spam fling' is all the advice I've read.
Having unlimited Tarot cards is a 'Quality of Life' thing, not a gold thing to be fair.
In addition, the following artefacts for occultists
Domination - Mark of Glaaki: Each Chaos Lord answers twice as many times as normal before a pact needs to be redone. // I log on 20 times a day since I play on my mobile. Each death requires a new set of entities to be summoned. And I die a lot. Not having to renew pacts every week would be nice
- An Eternal Contract: Making an eternal contract with a Chaos Lord will create a permanent pact not having to be renewed. However, due to the strain on your soul, you may only create 5 of these.

I am all for something like this. I've been wanting perma-pacts forever! It becomes even more troublesome when you are actively fighting people. I tend to cancel pacts that fall into the single digits because I've had times where I miss a kill and died because I couldn't summon an entity. I enjoy the flavour of pacting, but the amount of summons you get from certain entities feels a little low.
Couple this with the fact that when you starburst, all your entities are gone and you'll need to re-summon all of them if you survive once more.
A card shop. But you don't pay with credits, or gold, you pay with cards. For example:
Rudolpho value: 15
Reinhold value: 1
Morimbuul value: 20
If you want a Morimbuul, you bring in 1 Rudolpho and 5 Reinhold cards, and exchange them for 1 Morimbuul. Now your 'junk' cards can be hoarded and swapped for what you really want, meaning buying those card packs isn't a waste if you lose the RNG (because you're never, ever, ever selling that 1000th Rurin). Shamelessly stolen from Ezel's card shop, in FFTA.
Since apparently you can no longer non-decay images you take with the obsidian disc, can we please finally expand the Mayan crown book to hold more than a measly five?
And I love too Be still, my indelible friend That love soon might end You are unbreaking And be known in its aching Though quaking Shown in this shaking Though crazy Lately of my wasteland, baby That's just wasteland, baby

What you're seeing is the improved rate.

No. It got buffed last classlead round. This IS the improved rate. It used to be even worse.
