yoshi specifically said it will be a job, he did not use profession or DOH.Guild Location: Gridania
Can craft Tomes and Books for Summoner and Arcanist and other magical items and can make unique materia also and has the ability to enchant armor and weapons maybe..
Been discussing this with my friend along with other possibilities; like Scholar being a second job for Arcanist, or being a new DoM class altogether. These could also be true... but I just don't think so.
Scholar as the 9th crafting class seems to fit better and make more sense from a design standpoint.
Its harder to add crafting and gathering classes later down the road compared to battle classes. I don't think new crafting classes were ever added to FFXI in its entire lifespan except for synergy which could only add special effects to armour I believe.
There is only 2 crafting guilds in Gridania, 3 in Uldah and 3 in Limsa, this would make 3 crafting guilds in each city with Scholar.
They are already adding Arcanist class and Summoner as its job so adding Scholar as Arcanist's second job when no other class has a second just doesn't track. Aslo adding scholar as an entirely new DoM class means it would need a Job also, that's a lot of work, I just cant see it.
Anyway this is just my prediction, I could be wrong (or not) I guess we will find out on the English live letter later today.
