— In-game description

Sacred Soil is an action unlocked by questing at level 50. It is available for Scholar.

Related traits

• Enhanced Sacred Soil (Lv. 78) - Adds an additional effect to Sacred Soil that grants healing over time.
  

Related actions

• Aetherflow

Notes

• This action will not grant a regen until Enhanced Sacred Soil is learned at level 78.
• This action is analogous to Kerachole for sage, but requires party members to stand in a ground effect to receive the damage reduction and regen.

Gameplay

• This action grants two identically-named Sacred Soil buffs:
  • This Sacred Soil buff is the duration of the field of Sacred Soil itself. Upon expiry of this effect, the field will disappear.
  • This Sacred Soil buff decreases damage taken. This buff will last for an additional few seconds after the field has disappeared, meaning the duration of Sacred Soil is functionally greater than 15 seconds, being typically 18 seconds, instead.
• Scared Soil is only granted to the scholar and their party members; alliance members will not receive the damage reduction, even though the field of Sacred Soil will be visible to alliance members.
• When below level 78, it is rare that the mitigation effect from this action itself will prevent more damage than what is healed from Lustrate itself. Upon learning the Enhanced Sacred Soil trait however, the regen will recover more health than Lustrate. This is because health is also recovered upon the placement of Sacred Soil.
