Arcanist and Summoner artwork

Who confirmed this? It was always player speculation show me something in game that says Arcanist uses staves. I'll be waiting.

Feel free to go to the arcanists GUILD and see half of them with one.

So what happened to all the funky staves & rods that all the Arcanists at Melvaan's Gate have?

All gone, Rosa. It's all about the books now.

hmmm... looks like Arcanist/summoner uses Grimoires

The models will likely be shelved for a while and perhaps reintroduced later. But I doubt any of them will be around once ARR starts...

Good call~ I'd be shocked if they didn't use that term.

I wonder though, will they be crafted by Leatherworking, Clothcraft, Carpentry or Alchemy?


-------------

A debuff class will be interesting though. It definitely hints to the game having more than just the WS-spam-kill-in-20-sec-mobs that the most recent Yoshi interviews have covered.

Either that or this job and class are going to be designed around boss battles only.

-------------

As far as the other summons, we already have art/models for: Typhoon, Siren, Fenrir, Cait Sith, in addition to the normal primals... so I think SMN will have lots of options.

The art sure makes it look like the summons will be ghostly shadows of the real summons -- perhaps Carbuncle is the only 'Pet' and the others are all one-shots? Hmm...

I propose a new class. Booksmith. Books will require pages and leather bindings, so booksmiths will have to not only plane lumber down, but also make leather. You'll need both LTW and CRP at 50 to unlock BKS.

I'd figure you would need crp to craft parchment, alc to craft ink for writing arcane/eldritch lore, and ltw for the actual bookbinding

Tonberries generally only have cloth robes. Also it would be kind of odd for Tonberry to be a summon when they moved past to making them enemies for the most part lol.

That's still more armor than carbuncle lol.

here's the relic book:

Haven't gone through the thread but in case no one has translated what was said, the books will be physically thrown at the monsters, according to Matsui san and Yoship.
