Step-by-Step Instructions

The Scholar is an advanced job that evolves from the Arcanist class. It shares its level experience with the Summoner job (leveling one levels the other).

1. Level Arcanist to 30

Your first step is to level the **Arcanist** class to Level 30. Arcanist is a starting class available in Limsa Lominsa.

2. Complete Class Quests

You must complete all your Arcanist class quests up to Level 30. The final class quest is titled "Sinking Doesmaga". If you have not done this, the job quest will not appear.

3. Accept "Forgotten but Not Gone"

Once you have met the requirements, speak to Murie in the Arcanists' Guild in Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (X: 4.5, Y: 11.3). She will introduce you to the Nymian Royal Marine training.

You will be rewarded with:

Soul of the Scholar (Job Stone)
Scholar's Attire Chest (Optional Gear)

4. Equip Your Soul Crystal

Don't forget to equip the Soul of the Scholar in your equipment menu (bottom right slot). This changes your class from Arcanist to Scholar and allows you to summon your faerie, Eos.

Why Play Scholar?

Scholar is a Barrier Healer known for its tactical gameplay and pet management. You fight alongside a Faerie (Eos or Selene) that provides automatic healing, while you focus on shielding allies (Adloquium/Succor) and dealing damage. It offers powerful tools like "Excogitation" (delayed auto-heal) and "Chain Stratagem" (increases crit rate on enemies).
