{{Quote|Ever has man coveted knowledge, and none more so than that of his fate. Thus did he labor to master the skill of foresight—but initial efforts bore little fruit. That is, until he looked to the stars above, which foretell the coming seasons, and learned to read the heavens. Though this gift is known today as astrology, the people of Sharlayan saw fit to not only read the stars, but to write their movements as well. By attuning their aetherial energies to that of constellations, they learned to wield magicks with heretofore unseen properties. Thus was astromancy born—a new form of magick which grants its users power over fate. Employing a star globe and divining deck in their miraculous deeds, fortune always smiles upon these masters of arcana.| Game Description}}
Astrologian is a healer [[job]] introduced in 2014 Fan Fest in Tokyo. Astrologian's main [[weapon]] is the [[Star Globe]]. The job starts from level 30, will not require a base [[class]] and requires [[Heavensward]]. It employs the use of celestial magicks along with a divining deck in order to heal and support their parties.

Astrologians have access to two stances. Players can switch between Diurnal Sect (provides regen effects) and Nocturnal Sect (provides barrier effects), but cannot do so during combat. This allows the Astrologian to change function to suit the party's needs (for instance, you may use Diurnal Sect if your party includes a [[Scholar]], and Nocturnal Sect if your party has a [[White Mage]].

Astrologians draws cards randomly, which can be used to give party members one of six buffs. These buffs can also be enhanced in potency or duration, or made to cover an area of effect in exchange for potency. Mastering these effects is a key skill in making the most of your abilities.

==Requirement==
*[[Heavensward]]
*Access to [[Ishgard]], where [[guilds|Astrologian's Guild]] is located.
*Complete the quest [[Stairway to the Heavens]].

==Actions==
Details of some of Astrologian's abilities were announced during the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part XXI:

There are two stances, '''Diurnal Sect''' and '''Nocturnal Sect''', which you can switch between. One of them is simply a healing stance much like white mage, while the other uses barriers much like scholar. You may only switch stance while out of combat.

Depending on which stance you are in the effects of your "Aspected" abilities and spell will largely vary, so first it would be best to get used to one stance and then try and master the next.

Additionally, you’ll be able to use actions such as the barrier created by Y’shtola in the main scenario and you can draw cards which will give various types of buffs.

Depending on the card that you randomly draw, you can gain effects such as enhanced attack power, haste, and also damage reduction. Furthermore, you can use the ability '''Royal Road''' to return the card you draw to your deck and enhance the next one you draw. There is also an ability to set aside a good card you drew and an ability known as '''Shuffle''' to redraw a card. It’s a really fun job where you will have to consider how to use your cards depending on the situation and the card you draw.

Chocobo Racing

2015-07-20T20:15:41Z

[[File:chocobo racing2.jpg|350px|right]]
[[File:chocobo racing3.jpg|350px|right]]
[[File:chocobo racing4.jpg|350px|right]]
[[File:chocobo breeding1.jpg|350px|right]]
{{see also|Chocobo}}
Chocobo Racing is an activity released with the [[Gold Saucer]] in patch 2.51. During this activity players act as breeders, trainers and jockeys of their [[chocobos]]. Players can enter their well-bred and carefully trained chocobos into races to increase their [[#Rank|ranks]] and win [[Manderville Gold Saucer Points]].

Note that the Chocobo you use in Chocobo Racing is NOT your [[companion]]/[[mount]] chocobo.
==Unlock==
Players must complete the level 15 questline starting with [[So You Want to Be a Jockey]]. Players can start the quest by talking to [[Race Chocobo Registrar]] in [[Gold Saucer]] (x6,y4). Players must have completed [[It Could Happen to You]] previously.
==Levels==
===Rank===
As Chocobo earns EXP from racing, it will increase in Rank. Every time its rank increases, 5 points will be distributed to random [[#Stats|stats]]. The stat points are distributed randomly and automatically. It also earns a [[#Feeds|feeding]] opportunity. It allows the player to feed the chocobo and increase one of its stats by 1% - 3% of the stat cap based on its [[#Feeds|feed]]. [[#Feeds|Grade 1 Feed]] increases 1% of Stat Cap, Grade 2 increases 2% of Stat Cap while Grade 3 increases 3% of Stat Cap.
*For example a Chocobo fed with [[Grade 2 Feed - Speed Blend]] will increase its [[Maximum Speed]] by 2% of Stat Cap.

At Rank 10 your chocobo earns a random [[#Abilities|ability]].

At Rank 40 you can retire your Chocobo and use it for [[#Breeding|Breeding]].

Currently the max rank is 50. After that your chocobo will no longer earn EXP or rank up.

Note that the higher your Chocobo's Pedigree is the more EXP it needs to rank up.
===Rating===
Rating is how strong your chocobo is. It is the average number of your 5 [[#Stats|stats]] without any bonuses from [[#Feeds|feeding]]. Only the stats you gained from Rank ups, Pedigree Level and Star Ratings matter.

Rating determines what type of races your chocobo can enter. Maiden Class is for Rating 1 - 20, R-40 Class is for Rating 1 - 40, R-60 requires Rating 41 - 60 and R-80 requires Rating 41 - 80. Your chocobo will earn far greater exp and slightly more [[MGP]] in higher tier races.

You can min-max your chocobo to emphasize a particular stat such as having 4 Stars in [[Maximum Speed]] while having 1 Stars in other stats to allow it to have lower Rating and compete in easier races.

If you don't feed your chocobo or use lower Grade Feeds, you will have a slight disadvantage against other chocobos with similar rating that were fed.

==Stats and Abilities==
===Stats===
{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Stat
! Effect
|-
|[[Maximum Speed]] || Affects how quickly your chocobo can run.
|-
|[[Acceleration]] || Affects how quickly your chocobo can attain maximum speed.
|-
|[[Endurance]] || Affects how long your chocobo can run before becoming exhausted.
|-
|[[Stamina]] || Affects how quickly your chocobo’s stamina bar drains.
|-
|[[Cunning]] || Affects how effectively your chocobo can navigate a course without slowing down.
|-
|}

The stats of your chocobo are shown in the form (current stats)/(stat cap). Each rank up increases all of your stats, and they can also be increased through training with feed. All gains through all sources are proportional to your respective maximum in that stat. The game keeps track of decimals internally.You'll notice that if you train your bird with the same feed, the amount you get will sometimes differ by 1. This is due to internal rounding.

The formula for your Stat Cap is:

'''Stat Cap = 40 * (Pedigree Level + Star Rating) - 20'''

Your first chocobo will start off with 1 Pedigree Level and 2 Star Rating in all stats so it will have stat cap of 100 in all stats. A chocobo with Pedigree of 2 and 2 Stars in all stats will have stat cap of 140. The maximum stat cap is 500. It requires a Pedigree Level 9 Chocobo with all 4 Star Ratings.

Your chocobo can have a maximum of 2 abilities: 1 learned and 1 hereditary.

You chocobo will learn an ability at [[#Rank|Rank 10]]. You can force your chocobo to unlearn its ability by using [[Lethe Water]] purchased from [[Track & Feed Trader]] for 800 [[MGP]]. On the next Rank increase your Chocobo will randomly learn a new ability. You can also purchase a Training Manuals from [[Track & Feed Trader]] to teach your chocobo a specific ability.

Your chocobo can inherit an ability from its parents. Each parent has 50% chance of passing on its ability to a specific offspring.

==Feeds==
Every Rank you increase, you are able to feed your chocobo once. The feeding sessions are stockpiled. You can save up for better food if you need to.

==Racing Items==
In addition to [[#Magicked Panels|magicked panels]], you may come across treasure coffers containing race items. Race items will be added to your hotbar automatically. While some offer beneficial effects for you and your chocobo, others can be used to hinder your opponents.

{| class="wikitable sortable"
|-
! Item
! Type
! Rarity
! Effect
|-
|Choco Potion || Self || Common || Instantly restores stamina by 10%.
|-
|Stamina Tablet || Self || Common || Prevents stamina reduction for 10 seconds.
|-
|Sprint Shoes || Self || Common || Summons a quick burst of speed.
|-

|-
|Graviball || Offensive || Common || Inflicts the forerunning chocobo with Heavy for 10 seconds.
|-
|Briar Caltrop || Offensive || Common || Surrounds your chocobo with a ring of thorns which will sap the stamina of any chocobos that enter.
|-
|Hero Tonic || Self || Rare || Invigorates your chocobo for 15 seconds, increasing its overall performance while nullifying any enfeeblements.
|-
|Choco Meteor || Offensive || Rare || Summons a meteor from the heavens to wreak havoc on all other chocobos.
|-
|}
*After acquiring an item, you can activate it through your hotbar.

===Tips and Tricks===
You should avoid getting hit by '''Briar Caltrop''' at all cost. Briar Caltrop appears as a circular wall of thorns, move away from it ASAP or it will drain about 10 to 20% of your stamina. Do not trade Briar Caltrops with another player(s), even if you sap their stamina, they will sap yours. Unaffected players will easily overtake the both of you.

'''Stamina Tablet''' not only prevents you from losing stamina for 10 second, it also prevents all other forms of stamina loss such as hitting hit by Briar Caltrop or Choco Meteor.

If you are ahead, try to control what items your opponent can get. Do not take an item if the next item is really good or allows your opponent to catch up.

==Breeding==
Breeding in Chocobo Racing is called [[#Covering|Covering]]. You can retire your chocobo and use him/her for breeding when he/she reaches Rank 40. Breeding allows you to increase the Pedigree Level of your future chocobo. Every Pedigree Level increases all of your chocobo's maximum stats by 40. For example, if a Pedigree Level 1 chocobo has a max of 100 in [[stamina]], [[acceleration]] etc. A Pedigree Level 2 chocobo will have max of 140 in all of its stats.

Note that you can only increase your Pedigree Level by 1 for each breeding. You only need to breed with a Chocobo that has the same or higher Pedigree Level. For example, please don't waste your money and breed your Pedigree 1 chocobo with a Pedigree 9 one. You only need to breed with another Pedigree 1 chocobo. Their offspring is going to be Pedigree 2 anyway.

Your Chocobo will pass on its Ability to its offspring. Note that the chocobo you're breeding with can also pass on its ability. Each parent has 50% chance of passing on its ability to its offspring. Additionally, each parent's color has 50% chance of passing down. Offsprings inherit Star Ratings randomly from their grandparents, not their parents. Each grandparent's star rating is equally likely being passed to a offspring.

Note that your chocobo's stats do not matter in breeding. Only its Pedigree Level, Stars and Abilities do. If you want really powerful chocobos (Pedigree 9, 4 Stars across), breed your chocobo as soon as it hits rank 40. Don't waste your time and money to raise the stats of your initial chocobos.

After retiring, your chocobo you can breed it up to 10 times. If you do not like an offspring, you can discard it and try again.

==Racing==
Up to 8 players and their chocobos can enter into a race, allowing you to enter a race as a full party.

During the race, your chocobo will run alone the course automatically. Players can increase the speed of their chocobos by spending [[stamina]]. Stamina refills overtime when it is not in use. You can steer your chocobo left or right but they have slow turn speed. You want to steer your chocobo into speed boosts and out of speed decreases. When you pick up an item, you will be able to use it from your hotbar.

Your chocobos will have ratings based on their stats and abilities. As the rating increase, you'll be able to race your chocobo in higher classes but become ineligible to race in lower classes.

*Note that you cannot bet on races!
===Accessing Chocobo Square===
To acquire a racing chocobo, register your chocobo, and begin racing, players must first proceed to the Chocobo Square by speaking with the lift operator Saethrith at the Entrance Square of [[Gold Saucer]] (x4,y6).

===Preparing for Chocobo Racing===
====Obtain a Registration Form====
After completing the prerequisite quest, players can register their racing chocobo. Over the course of the quest, players will receive either Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-M or Fledgling Chocobo Registration G1-F depending on the preferred gender of their chocobo.

*In the event you accidentally discard your registration form, or wish to acquire a new racing chocobo, a new registration form can be purchased from the Feathertrader NPC at Bentbranch Meadows in [[Central Shroud]] (x20,y22).

====Register Your Racing Chocobo====
After acquiring your registration form, speak with the Race Chocobo Trainer NPC at the Chocobo Square (x6,y4) to complete registration for your chocobo and give it a name.

*A fixed fee in gil is required for each name change.

====How to Enter a Race====
To enter a race, speak with the Race Chocobo Registrar NPC at the Chocobo Square (x6,y4) to select from the races available at your rating. Players who wish to practice the basics of chocobo racing can repeat the training course as many times as desired.
* Please note that you cannot register for duties when queuing to enter a race.

As you continue to enter races and your chocobo gains experience, it will grow stronger, and its rating will increase. A higher rating will earn you entry to races in higher classes. By the same token, however, your chocobo will become barred from participating in races in a lower class.

To view your race chocobo’s rating, select Character from the main menu, followed by Gold Saucer, then select Chocobo from within the interface.

===Controls===
====Steering====
To steer your chocobo left and right, press the following buttons or keys:

'''Steer Left'''
*A (Move Left)
*Q (Strafe Left)
*Left Analog Stick

'''Steer Right'''
*D (Move Right)
*E (Strafe Right)
*Left Analog Stick

====Speed and Stamina====
'''To accelerate, press any of the following buttons or keys:'''

*W (Move Forward)
*LB (L1) Button
*Left Analog Stick Up

Be warned, however, that accelerating increases the rate at which your chocobo’s stamina gauge depletes. If you run out of stamina, your speed will drop, and you will be unable to accelerate for the remainder of the race.

====Magicked Panels====
Magicked Panels have beneficial and detrimental effects. The green and blue ones are beneficial while the red and pink ones are detrimental.

Blue increases your speed temporarily, green gives you about 5% extra stamina, red decreases your speed temporarily and pink decreases your stamina by about 5%.
===Weather Effects===
Chocobo races are held outdoors, and therefore subject to varying weather conditions. However, certain chocobos can turn this to their advantage. For instance, some chocobos perform well under cloudless skies, while others thrive in storms. Players can receive a number of beneficial effects when racing in their birds’ preferred conditions.

===Completing the Race===
A race will conclude when all participants have crossed the finish line, or 30 seconds after the winner is decided. The results will be determined at this time, with MGP and experience points awarded based on your performance. Furthermore, among those who finished 2nd to 7th, one person will be selected via roulette to receive bonus experience points.

===Racing UI===
The following unique UI elements will be displayed during chocobo races.
*Position in Race, top left corner by default
*Stamina Gauge, center bottom of the screen by default
*Race Item Notices, bottom right corner by default

These UI elements will be displayed in place of the currently existing UI elements:
*Party List --> Position in Race
*Parameter Bar --> Stamina Bar
*Notices --> Race Item Notices

===Tips and Tricks===
*There is collision between Chocobos. Don't use Spring Shoes when you are directly behind another chocobo.

*Budget your stamina. Look at your track completion percentage then look at your stamina gauge. Make sure you have enough stamina to finish the race. Make sure you are not too frugal with stamina useage. In a perfect world your stamina will hit 0 right when you cross the finish time.

*In R-60 or higher races, avoid mobs. When you hit a mob you lose speed and 3-5% stamina. You can jump over some smaller ones such as mandragora.

==Covering==
Retired racing chocobos can [[#Breeding|breed]] with other chocobos of opposite sex. Their offspring will increase in Pedigree Level, inherit Stars for each stat, an ability and gain some of its parent's characteristics such as color. The breeding process allows the player to raise stronger chocobos.

Only chocobos that are at least rank 40 can retire and become breeders. You want to retire chocobos both both genders, male and female, in order to breed.

You can also breed with pre-made chocobos from Gold Saucer in exchange for [[Manderville Gold Saucer Points]].

*In the future Square Enix planned to allow you to breed with other players' chocobos.

===Unlock===
To unlock Covering, players must complete the quest [[Like Sire Like Fledgling]]. They can start the quest by speaking to [[Chocobokeep]] in [[Chocobo Square]] (x6,y4) in [[Gold Saucer]]. Players must have completed the [[So You Think You Can Ride This Chocobo]] quest and has a rank 40 or higher Chocobo.

When retiring your race chocobo, you will be given the opportunity to offer parting words to your chocobo, praising one of its two abilities. The ability praised will remain as its hereditary ability to be passed down through covering.
*Please note that a race chocobo cannot be re-registered once retired.

===Preparing Chocobos for the Covering===
Both a male and female chocobo are required when arranging a covering. Furthermore, only one of the pair may be a breeding chocobo from the Manderville Gold Saucer.

===Arranging the Covering===
When you have prepared the chocobos for covering, speak with Katering in the Central Shroud at Moogle’s Gift Mounts (X:20 Y:22). Please note that arranging a covering will incur a fee.

===Receiving a Proof of Covering===
Upon payment, Katering will take the two chocobos into her care and you will receive a Proof of Covering, which indicates when you can retrieve your fledgling chocobo. Speak with her again at the appointed time to receive your new racing chocobo.
*The fledging chocobo will inherit its color from one of its parents.

===Collecting Your Fledgling===
After the appointed time, speak with Katering to exchange the Proof of Covering for your fledgling.

{{Quote|The war with Dravania rages on, brutal and unrelenting. With no end in sight, the Holy See grows desperate. As her dragoons lay down their lives in defense of their home, Ishgard turns to technology to protect her sons and daughters. Great cannons and ballistae now line the city walls, plucking dragons from the sky. Following the example of Cid Garlond, who has demonstrated the potency of magitek, the Skysteel Manufactory works tirelessly on the development of advanced armaments. As new and devastating weapons are brought to the fray, a new class of champion arises to wield them―the machinist.| Game Description}}

[[File:bard1.jpg|300px|right|Bard wearing [[Artifact Armor#Bard|Artifact Armor]]]]
{{Quote|The word "bard" ordinarily puts folk in mind of those itinerant minstrels, fair of voice and nimble of finger, who earn their coin performing in taverns and the halls of great lords. Few know, however, that bards in fact trace their origins back to the bowmen of eld, who sang in the heat of battle to fortify the spirits of their companions. In time, their impassioned songs came to hold sway over the hearts of men, inspiring their comrades to great feats and granting peace unto those who lay upon the precipice of death.|Game Description}}

[[File:scholar with fairies.jpg|thumb|300px|Scholar with fairies]]
{{Quote|In an age long past, when mankind flourished under the radiance of arcane mastery, the island of Vylbrand was home to a city-state called Nym. Though the history of that age tells of countless wars waged with earth-shattering incantations, it was the brilliant strategic maneuvering of Nym's scholars that allowed their mundane army of mariners to throw back would-be conquerers time and again. These learned men and women defended the freedom of their tiny nation with their unique command over spell-weaving faeries, utilizing the creatures' magicks to heal the wounded and bolster the strength of their allies.|[http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/game/jobs/scholar Game Description]}}

Scholars are healers with [[#Pet Actions|fairies]] as their pets. Scholar is evolved from the [[classes|class]] [[Arcanist]], as is [[Summoner]]. Scholars have all the [[Arcanist Actions|abilities]] and [[Arcanist Traits|traits]] of [[Arcanist]]s. They can also use all the cross-class abilities of [[thaumaturge]] and [[conjurer]].
The most important [[attributes|stat]] for the scholar is [[mind]], which increases [[Healing Magic Potency|healing magic potency]]. The level of your Scholar is equivalent to that of your Arcanist. Scholars use books as weapons, and do not equip anything in their off-hand.

==Requirement==
* Level 30 [[Arcanist]]
* Level 15 [[Conjurer]]

After completing the 30th level arcanist quest and fulfilling the aforementioned level requirements, speak with Mutie, the arcanist Guild Receptionist. You will receive the quest, "Forgotten but Not Gone", which will grant a scholar soul crystal upon completion. Additional scholar quests are available every 5 levels from Alka Zolka inside the marauder's guild in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks.

The scholar job is equipped through the armory chest soul crystals tab in the bottom right-hand corner. It may be removed by unequipping the soul crystal in the bottom right-hand corner of the character window.

Bonus attribute points previously spent in the arcanist class are not reset when the scholar job is equipped.

Black Mage Actions

TheGallow: grammar

:''Main article: [[Black Mage]]''
==Rotations==
These ability rotations is based on a level 50 Black Mage.
===Single Target===
[[Thunder II]] -> [[Fire III]] -> [[Fire]] (until under 1000 [[MP]]) -> [[Blizzard III]]

*[[Thundercloud]] procs should be cast immediately and should always be [[Thunder III]].

*[[Firestarter]] proc should be cast immediately, unless you're entering Umbra phase, in which case you should use your normal filler spell (usually Thunder II) until full MP, then use your Firestarter proc.

====Tips and Tricks====
*Always be casting. While there are some times when interrupting your casting is necessary, some players cancel a casting in order to cast a proc'd ability. Cancelling spells already in progress is always DPS loss and should be avoided unless you need to move and avoid damage.

*The normal Black Mage rotation consist of 4 castings of Fire before you drop below the amount of MP needed to cast both Blizzard III and Thunder II. Any further casting of Fire after the fourth will result in an insufficient amount of MP to get through an Umbral phase uninterrupted.

*In presence of [[Scholar]] or by using [[Meal|Food]] or [[Materia]], it is possible to raise your [[Piety]] to 251 or higher. It gives you enough MP to cast 5 Fire spells and continue your rotation without pause. It results in a 2.5% increase in DPS.

*During portions of fights where movement is required, default to [[Scathe]] until you've arrived at your new destination or use [[Swiftcast]] to keep up your current rotation.

*If due to a Thundercloud proc you have plenty of time left on your Thunder DoT, use [[Blizzard]] as filler during Umbra phase. Also use Blizzard or Scathe on mobs that won't live long enough to justify Thunder.

*Many Black Mage guides say use Swiftcast on cooldown. This will grant a magical dps increase in total but remove the chance to use Swiftcast for utility or in emergencies. Use at your discretion but if you choose to use it try to use it when hardcasting spells, especially tier 3 spells.

*When sitting on a Firestarter proc in Umbra phase, use Transpose before casting Fire III to give yourself a nice damage boost. You'll do more and still be at full MP.

*Use [[Raging Strikes]] on whenever its on cooldown unless you're planning to use it for bigger fights within 2 minutes. Maximize the phase time during Raging Strikes.

===Multiple Targets (AoE)===
[[Fire III]] -> [[Fire II]] (Until just above 266 MP) -> [[Flare]] -> [[Transpose]] -> [[Blizzard II]] x 2

*The above rotation in intended to be cast in the middle of a group of mobs to ensure Blizzard II hits all mobs. If you are uncomfortable standing in the middle of a group of mobs, cast the above rotation but switch out the 2 Blizzard II with 1 Blizzard III.

*Flare requires a minimum of 266 MP to cast. Make sure your final Fire II does not force you below 266 MP.
====Tips and Tricks====
*Double Flare. Using both [[Convert]] and Swiftcast abilities, it's possible to cast 2 Flare spells within a couple seconds of each other. This technique is very effective at leveling groups of mobs quickly. Simply follow your first Flare with Convert -> Swiftcast -> Flare and continue your rotation.

*Vary your rotation to suit your situation. Don't continue an AoE rotation when only 2 mobs left, when you're grabbing aggro and don't use Flare if your target will die before the cast finishes.

*AoE rotations can cause a lot of aggro very quickly, make sure your tank has secured aggro on all mobs before you unleash your AoE rotation. Make sure to use damage mitigating spells like [[Manaward]] and [[Manawall]] in case you pull aggro.
