Main mission stories or Summoner class quests? Thanks in advance for clarifying /bow.

Main story, like Ifrit.

Main mission stories or Summoner class quests? Thanks in advance for clarifying /bow.

you fight primals in main quests at these points:
Ifrit 20
Titan 34
Garuda 44

Summoner 30 quest requires Ifrit completion (I think) before you can do it, 35 quest requires Titan, and I'm assuming either 45 or 50 requires Garuda.

[Pepinot]

If you fight Titan and Garuda on a different class, would you still satisfy the Summoner requirements? Or do you have to fight the primals as a Summoner in order to get those summons?

[Seravi Edalborez]

You do not have to be Summoner.

[Ratatapa]

weeeee

[Pepinot]

Thanks for the clarifications. I'll aim to get Titan ASAP on another higher lvl class, so I can have a nice tank pet when I solo as Summoner.

Too adorable for words.

Titan and Garuda are basically just Topaz and Emerald Carbuncle with slightly higher potency on their attacks, maybe higher stats, and access to their signature moves at 50. Topaz should be perfectly serviceable. Nice thing about them is that since they are called with the regular Summon and Summon II, you can use them while level-capped. Same applies for SCH's fairies.

I guess this is more of a general question, but can you sync as a Scholar below 30? I haven't gotten to that point yet so I'm not sure how it works.

[miokomioko]

Pretty sure jobs can by sync'd down below 30, but at that point you're not really gaining anything by being on the job.

p.s. I kinda' wish the Summon/SummonII icons changed to fairies/egi when on SCH/SMN.

You can sync as any job to something below 30. You just won't be able to access the abilities and will have less cross-class stuff at the tradeoff of higher stats in some areas. It just works on SCH and SMN because they alter abilities that are way below 30.

I see no reason why you couldn't. You'd just kinda be missing all of your scholar heals. >.>

Sch can still heal at lower 30 Cure PHysik and embrace

This is what I was thinking. The higher Mind would hopefully allow for higher cures than you'd get with ACN. It'd really just be to help out friends/LS members on my SCH instead of changing to CNJ depending on the content. Would rather get the exp, even if it's small, on ACN/SCH.

[Seravi Edalborez]

Honestly I imagine the fairy alone makes SCH an awesome low level healer. Adloquium is more of a safety net anyways in my opinion due to its much higher MP cost compared to Physick.

[Zzsark]

SCH synced in low lvl dungeons is OP with your pet.

[Scythiroth]

Oh duh, you still have the fairy. Brain not working today.

I may be wrong on this but my friend is leveling SMN right now and he was not able to access Titan until he did the level 35 Job Quest for Fester, the prerequisite for which is defeating Titan in the Main Story. So assuming Garuda works the same way, even if you defeat her on a higher job you still have to wait till 45SMN(I think?) to utilize the Garuda-Egi instead of blue carby.

O.o
Thanks for the heads up. Can anyone else confirm this?

[miokomioko]

Right, the Lv.30, 35, and 45 SMN quests can't even be flagged until you progress past Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda respectively. The Egis are not outright rewarded as visible abilities/traits, but you face them in essentially mini-primal battles during said quests and they take over the Summon/Summon II slots from then on out (you get a small prompt upon completing the quest that says your Summon/Summon II now summons Titan/Garuda).
