Stratagems

From BGWiki

Jump to: navigation, search

When a scholar gains access to Light Arts and Dark Arts at level 10, he or she will also acquire new abilities called "Stratagems." The abilities available within Stratagems will correspond to the type of Arts the scholar currently has activated. No abilities will be displayed if neither Light Arts nor Dark Arts has been selected.

Stratagems do not have a recast time. However, the use of these abilities is restricted by the number of "charges" available, with each ability consuming one charge per use.

  • When using the "/recast" text command, it is necessary to nominate a specific Stratagem to which the scholar currently has access, such as "/recast Celerity". This command will display the amount of time remaining until a new charge will be generated, as well as the current number of charges available.

The number of charges available depends on the level of the Scholar.

Level Number of Charges Time to Regain One Charge
10 1 4 minutes
30 2 2 minutes
50 3 1 minute and 20 seconds
70 4 1 minute

With Scholar at level 75 as a main job, you will have 4 charges available. With Scholar set as a support job to a level 75, you will have 2 charges available.
