Summoner
Introduction
“The beast tribes of Eorzea worship and summon forth beings known as primals, among which, are Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan. Yet, what is a God to one man is a demon to another, for the city-states of Eorzea see these beings as a grave threat to their collective survival. For time immemorial, there lived mages who had not only the power to summon the primals, but also the means to transmute the primals' essences, thus binding them to their will. Known simply as summoners, the existence of these men and women and their arcane art have been all but lost to the ages.
Summoner is a job unlockable at level 30 as an upgrade from the arcanist class and is one of three non-limited magical ranged DPS jobs.
General information
Guild
The Arcanists' Guild is in the city of Limsa Lominsa. Arcanists must choose to specialize into summoner (or scholar) once they reach level 30, and complete the quests Sylph-management and
Sinking Doesmaga.
- Note: It's required to be an
Arcanist to receive the follow-up quest and unlock summoner, this means Soul of the Scholar must be unequipped.
- Note 2: Being the only example of a split-class,
Summoner and
Scholar share a level since they are both based on
Arcanist.
The job trainer is Y'mhitra, who is normally located in Old Gridania (10.9, 6.3).
Equipment
The summoner is a disciple of magic and wears armor "of Casting." They use books as weapons. The following crafting classes can create items that are useful to the summoner:
