Scholar... SAY WHUT?

[ArkhamNative]

It does not say here but they also said that there are 8 slots for the Soul Crystals (jobs)
so scholar won't have a soul crystal? or both Scholar and Arcanist becomes summoner?

Or they add another slot for any new jobs, including SCH? There's space in the dialog for up to 25 slots.

This makes a lot of issues, though. Will it also unlock at level 30 alongside Summoner? You quest to unlock jobs

Can I just grind on one and get experience on both?Experience is not tied to Jobs, it is tied to the base class so if you have a 50 Arcanist before you unlock scholar, when you unlock it you are a 50 scholar. Job abilities are quested

Answered your questions that are already answered.

These aren't really answers to what I was actually asking, though.

I'm fully aware that you quest to unlock jobs, but that begins at level 30. My question was not whether or not there was a quest involved, but rather would hitting level 30 on Arcanist allow you to quest for both the Summoner and the Scholar soul crystals or is one a higher "tier" than the other. Presumably they will at least have different subclass (level 15) requirements.

As for your second point, experience may be tied to the class in code, but in practice it's shared between each class and its respective job. If I complete a quest as an Archer I gain experience on my Bard, but similarly if I quest on my Bard I will gain experience on my Archer. If Summoner and Scholar both evolve from Arcanist in the same way that v1 jobs did that means that questing on my Summoner will let me gain experience on my Arcanist and, having gained experience on my Arcanist, should also let me gain experience on my Scholar. My question to the community was simply do you think this is how it will work? And, if not, what do you think will be done instead?

As for the other post you directed at me, the clarification you got from ArkhamNative was precisely what I meant, including his(her?) point about my main goal just being general speculation.

Or they add another slot for any new jobs, including SCH? There's space in the dialog for up to 25 slots.

Without SMN, SCH, or ACN (none of which will be in the beta) there are 25 classes and jobs, including the DoHs and DoLs. From their original announcement about gear sets way back before the armory chest had been mentioned it was either stated or strongly implied that we'd have a set for each class. Hopefully that's still the case (especially with all this new CSE they've promised), and at launch we'll have either 28 or 29 slots, depending on if SCH has a new class. ...Of course, that doesn't explain why there's already a slot for an 8th job crystal. :s
