Any possible updates on if the JHS archetype is available yet? Keep checking and after 4-5 months I haven't seen a boon pop up. Have I missed something?
The statement is:
The Jalmeri Heavenseeker archetype as printed in this book (page 224) is legal for play. Players may not use the version printed in Pathfinder #158: Six Feet Under.Does legal for play truly mean "treat it as standard uncommon" and not "Standard Common"?
Look at the diagram next to Availability here.
"Standard" is not the same as "common". The Jalmeri Heavenseeker has standard availability, but it's still uncommon.
So you still need to find something that gives you access because it's uncommon. But because it's Standard, if a boon for that exists, it's likely to be fairly broadly available. (I'm not aware that such a boon exists though.)
Whereas if something were Limited, it'd probably only be on a charity auction boon or other pretty hard to get way.

I believe the "The Jalmeri Heavenseeker archetype as printed in this book (page 224) is legal for play. Players may not use the version printed in Pathfinder #158: Six Feet Under." line does not affect Access at all, leaving Jalmeri Heavenseeker as Standard and Uncommon with no current Access method.
Instead of affecting Access, I read that as "If a character is able to gain Access (through whatever future method) to Jalmeri Heavenseeker, it MUST be the version from Lost Omens: Impossible Lands and NOT the version from Agents of Edgewatch".

I am bumping this again.
There is still no boon for the archetype. This is pretty frustrating. Is there a way to ask for stuff like this other than Posting in this forum? It really feels like an oversight that there is still no way to access this archetype, while it was specifically mentioned to be legal.
Read this blog post. There's rumors that Safa is heading to Jalmery soon.

It may not be an oversight. They may have decided it was legal at the point the source book had been released, but had not yet decided on how access would be granted. There may be an in-game way that it will later be made available, or it may be some other way.
But, it may not be an oversight.

I'm not sure why you keep necromancing the thread.
Either the boon is added to the boon store (Not Yet, AFAIK) or it'll be as a reward in a scenario (and discussing/revealing scenario boons is discouraged).
You could request it in the boon request thread too.

The blog post that was linked earlier that mentioned Safa heading into Jalmeray? We're getting that scenario in January next year:
The Crocodiles Smile but the description of the scenario seems like it could be the first part of an adventure chain, so IF we're getting the Jalmeray Heaven seeker at some point, there's still no guarantee that it'll be on that upcoming scenario.
Honestly, I'd recommend you don't just wait around for a year hoping for a boon that may or may not come - enjoy what's available now, and get back to this character concept If you later run into the boon.
There's no guarantee for that archetype to ever become available - for comparison, there's a boon in one of the very first few scenarios of season 1 that says "This boon might have special effects in future scenarios." 4 years later? Still hasn't come up (as far as I know).
