Lore

"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." — Game Description

General Information

Scholars are healers with fairies as their pets. Scholar is evolved from the class Arcanist, as is Summoner. Wielding books, Scholars have all the abilities and traits of Arcanists. The most important stat for the scholar is mind, which increases healing magic potency. The level of your Scholar is equivalent to that of your Arcanist. Scholars use books as weapons, and do not equip anything in their off-hand.

Requirement

• Level 30 Arcanist
• Completion of Main Scenario quest: Sylph-management
• Completion of Arcanist Class quest: Sinking Doesmaga

After completing the level 30 Arcanist quest and fulfilling the aforementioned level requirements, speak with Murie, the Arcanist Guild Receptionist. You will receive the quest Forgotten but Not Gone, which will grant a Scholar Soul Crystal upon completion. Additional Scholar quests are available every 5 levels from Alka Zolka inside the Marauder's guild in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks.

The Scholar job is equipped through the armory chest soul crystals tab in the bottom right-hand corner. It may be removed by unequipping the soul crystal in the bottom right-hand corner of the character window.

Aetherflow & Faerie Gauge is Scholar's Job Gauge.

Aetherflow Gauge

Upon learning the action   Aetherflow, the Aetherflow Gauge will be displayed, indicating stacks of Aetherflow.

Aetherflow can be used to execute certain actions such as   Lustrate (acquired at level 45) and   Excogitation (acquired at level 62).

Upon learning the action   Aetherpact, you'll be able to view the Faerie Gauge, which displays the amount of fae aether.

Upon learning the action   Summon Seraph, you can temporarily call Seraph to fight alongside you in place of Eos. The Faerie Gauge will indicate how much time remains before she must return.
