Scholar (SCH) Actions, Traits and Role Actions
In an age long past, when mankind flourished under the radiance of arcane mastery, the island of Vylbrand was home to a city-state called Nym. Though the history of that age tells of countless wars waged with earth-shattering incantations, it was the brilliant strategic maneuvering of Nym's scholars that allowed their mundane army of mariners to throw back would-be conquerers time and again.
These learned men and women defended the freedom of their tiny nation with their unique command over spell-weaving faeries, utilizing the creatures' magicks to heal the wounded and bolster the strength of their allies.
Scholar is a new job in FFXIV: A Realm Reborn and very little is known about it as of yet. It is known that Scholar will have a Fairy pet and be more towards healing. Stay tuned for more details on abilities, traits, materia and equipment.
Scholar is a new job in FFXIV: A Realm Reborn and very little is known about it as of yet. It is known that Scholar will have a Fairy pet and be more towards healing. Stay tuned for more details on abilities, traits, materia and equipment.
An Arcanist can become a Scholar by equipping the Soul of the Scholar item after completing the first quest. The details for this quest are below.
| Quest | NPC | Location | Conditions |
| Forgotten but Not Gone | Murie | Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks, Arcanists' Guild | ACN 30 |
For each quest you complete, you will be rewarded with a new ability, while the latter quests will also reward you with artifact (AF) armour that is shown in the screenshot above.
Introduction to Scholar
Scholar is a healing job that branches off Arcanist. Its role is to restore the HP of party members that take damage from monsters, cure bad status effects from party members and to revive fallen members of the party upon death. The Scholar can also deal damage with DoTs just like Arcanist and Summoner but this should be seen as secondary to everything else.
Attributes
As a Scholar your main attribute is Mind (MND) as this increases healing magic potency. You should be focusing on equipment with this stat. For secondary stats you should be focusing on the likes of Spell Speed, Direct Hit Rate, Determination and Critical Hit Rate in addition to simply boosting MND.
Spell Speed and Critical Hit Rate are self explantory in what they do. For the other two, Determination is used to boost the damage dealt by all attacks and the amount of HP recovered when healed while Direct Hit Rate is Stormblood's replacement for Accuracy. Instead of a simple hit or miss effect that Accuracy could give, having low Direct Hit Rate for a fight will reduce damage dealt so it is important to improve this stat.
Fairies
There are two types of fairies; a healer and a support type. Eos is the healer and Selene is for support. Most of the time you will use Eos to aid with your healing. She also has an ability called Whispering Dawn which gives a regen effect. You should be manually using this ability when it is needed rather than leaving it up to the pet.
Selene is more useful when the Scholar does not need the additional healing from Eos, for example when clearing trash monsters in a dungeon. The spell/skill speed buffs will help out more.
Actions
Actions are skills that the Scholar can equip to their bar and select to use at any time as long as their timer is available. Actions used in a combo will generate additional damage and effects. All Scholar actions are exclusive to that job.

As well as these the Scholar can also equip Arcanist actions.
Pet Actions
The Scholar has access to a unique set of actions for controlling their pets. These are listed below.
| Name | Level | Cast | Recast | Range | Radius | Pet Name |
Role Actions
Since the A Realm Reborn expansion for FFXIV, cross class actions were removed and replaced with the concept of "role" actions. Role actions are more generic as they don't belong to specific classes, but instead to roles such as melee DPS, magic DPS, healer or tank. The Scholar can equip up to 5 of these.
| Name | Level | Cast | Recast | MP | TP | Range | Radius |
PvP Actions
From the Stormblood expansion PvP was revamped significantly and you can no longer use PvE actions during PvP battles. That means all of the actions above you can no longer use in PvP. Action Points (AP) were also removed. While some of the dedicated PvP actions do have the same name, they will have different potencies or effects. Below are the PvP actions that are unique to the Scholar. There exists even more PvP actions and even traits but these are not unique to the Scholar. You can find these further down the page.

Let's meet the normal Scholar, doing everything he possibly can, and people still complain. NOW, lets meet the very rare micro-managing Scholar, who knows how to manage his pet and his buffs at the right time. Scholar is awful when people don't use their buffs properly. I can understand the frustration with the class, when all the sudden at the start of battle all your buffs come up and boom. By the middle of the battle when you actually might need them, where are they? As having a friend who has used a parser and compared me (A micromanaging Scholar) To a non Micromanaging Scholar with about the same Ilv, my Eos healed a lot more than the Eos without micromanaging. Enemy > PetMoves/commands > (Sic or Obey, I believe obey) > Heel >Embrace on hotbar Micromanage. Your welcome. |

With sure and swift cast macrod in with gcd knocked down thanks to spell speed stone my SCH breezed through Titan (HM), Garuda..etc. no OOM here like WHM, with etherflow and rouse up. SCH is the new RDM from ffxi. Solo almost all minus primals behemoth and rumah I'm pleased with it. Have relic gear @ mind and spell speed build. Fantastic results. Needless to say, the most important part of my success is all attributed to my steady party. Experienced PLD, BRD, and MNK by my side makes my life easier whether I am a WHM or SCH. I absolutely love the SCH job, and hope to see it grow more beyond 2.1 patch release. Crystal Tower, I'm ready for you. |

You get two fairies which replaces your Emerald and Topaz Carbuncle. The one replacing the Emerald Carbuncle becomes your Healing Summon which focuses on increasing healing, healing, Healing over Time and increased magic defense. The one replacing the Topaz Carbuncle becomes your Support Summon which focuses on increased utility over raw healing. Some of the abilities include higher spell speed and more damage(?-damage part, can't get to the servers at the moment of typing, so can't confirm) and silence) And as I just became Scholar yesterday, I can say that it's rather fascinating. |

Hey Typosss, you are right the ACN skills should not be listed on this page. SCH can obviously equip its class skills but they aren't cross class so shouldn't be listed there. What should be listed are THM skills that SCH can equip. I will fix that this evening. Summoner is currently doing the same so that will be fixed too. SMN should be ARC and THM. |
