I just levelled an alt. You get about 300k gil in quest rewards main story, it's retardedly easy to level, even before roulettes. SMN is definitely the easier route for alts, you're mostly covered for crossclass with blm26 and archer 4, but SCH just needs WHM34, so it's not much worse.

Then you'll get seperate myth quotas, CT loot, coil, etc.

Put 30 points in INT and don't look back.

idk, it seems like with how 'alt friendly' this game is, they kind of screw over smn/sch

smn isnt my alt its my main character

He means an entirely separate character. You get 2 separate myth caps AND you can play both smn and sch to their 100% potential

I went 30 int, since smn was/is my main. However, I can still heal coil/extremes fine on my sch in pretty mediocre gear (i87, 403 crit 4tl).

I was under the impression scholars got Cleric Stance from leveling conjurer. Is that not true? If you do get Cleric Stance, then feel free to pour everything into Intelligence, because Cleric Stance will swap your Mind and Intelligence, which then turns all of that attack magic potency into healing magic potency, making you an excellent healer.

Cleric stance = flat -20% healing decrease, iirc.

I'm struggling with this decision as well.

Currently I have 30 Int.

other combinations I have considered:

15 Int
15 Mind

30 Mind (that would more or less signal giving up on the summoner job, which is a possibility if nearly all content is going to require quick-kills on soft adds)

10 Int
10 Mind
10 Vitality

30 Vitality (hey that's 435 health)

Currently, it's 30 Int so that the SMN role (a "Damage Over Time" role) can have a ghost of a chance of handling soft kill-quick-or-die adds. Meanwhile Scholar feels pretty solid with no gaps in ability, so I am hoping it can get by without bonus points at all.
