Walkthrough

Note: While this quest can be flagged as any level 30 job, you will have go to the Eldieme Necropolis (S) as BLU, BLM, RDM, or SMN at the end of the quest (level 30 not required).

• Head to Batallia Downs (S) and go to (J-10) to enter the Eldieme Necropolis (S).
• In the Eldieme Necropolis (S), talk to the NPC named Erlene at (J-8). She will ask for 12 sheets of Vellum.
  • Optional: Trade up to 12 stacks of Rolanberries to Tucker (K-8) in Crawlers' Nest (S) for sheets of Vellum. Each stack you trade him will get you one sheet of Vellum. However, Tucker will only accept three trades in total, and he will also refuse more than four stacks of Rolanberries in a single trade. So in order to get twelve sheets of Vellum, you need to trade him four stacks of Rolanberries at a time.
    • Tucker will only trade with you if you have talked to Erlene first.
• If you're not BLM, RDM, SMN or BLU already, change job to one of those.
• Go back to the Eldieme Necropolis (S) and trade 12 sheets of Vellum to Erlene for another cutscene.
• Activate your Two Hour Ability: Azure Lore, Manafont, Chainspell, or Astral Flow and talk to Erlene for a third CS. You will receive the Key Item: Grimoire and can now become a Scholar.
  • Benediction cannot be used for this.
• You must zone in order for Scholar to appear in your Job levels list.

[[Just a brief note: Should you accidentally, in your rush to please Erlene, hand over your 12 sheets of vellum before changing to one of the jobs listed, your information will be saved, and once you return as a blm, blu, rdm or smn you will be given another opportunity to use your "2-hour" and achieve level 1 Scholar status by viewing the rest of the cut scene. 2 people from my linkshell alone have gone through this little snafu, so I suspect it may be quite common for those who do not have a mage or smn job high enough to start the quest. Good luck!]]
