SMN and SCH's class icon

[Alice_89th]

I've always thought the scholar symbol was meant to be a scale? Though it does look a bit like glasses, now that you mention it...

I always though it looked like a scale as well.
Not that that would make any real sense for the job, but that is what I thought it was.


EDIT: Looks like the people on the JP forum are wondering the same thing... and a Dev answered!

学者のアイコンは「眼鏡」です！

So the SCH icon are glasses. Now to find out what the SMN icon is...

I have seen the Scholar symbol somewhere else before, but I cannot recall now.

The Summoner one looks like a sextant.

I think my sense kinda weird to see the meaning of this symbols:
SMN = Wizard Hat
SCH = Ancient Chinese Minister's Hat

[TinyRedLeaf]

I never had any problem identifying the summoner icon, but I would concede that, up to now, all I ever saw in the scholar icon were tusks as well.

SCH is obviously a TRON bike.

[Alteiriaa]

I always figured that since the weapons were the same between the two, the icons were their respective hats.

This. I always assumed it was a mortarboard and horn, respectively.

ditto.

I always assumed that the SCH icon was a mortarboard instead of glasses or a book
