Crafting

Scholars locate and research relics of ancient lore, relying on a vast knowledge of the world to produce scrolls and potions that aid in combat or craft.

Note: In your early career when you are just grinding points for advancement, the Crafting Lore scrolls require only 2 texts and 1 relic or trinket, while the Battle Lore scrolls require 2 of each. Even earning fewer points per Scroll you will level faster on the Crafting scrolls.

Quests

Speak to any Novice Scholar for the first three, or Master Scholar for the last two.

Resources

The following table shows what resources can be gathered by a Scholar, and some idea of where to find them. If you follow the link to the database page for the Resource Node, there should be a map there with at least some locations marked. Just remember they are always in Ruins. Many of the Resources also drop from humanoid mobs (Orc-kind and Brigands), as well as treasure chests.

Battle Lore

At every tier the Scholar can produce scrolls that boost the entire fellowship's Offense or Defense ratings.

  • Scroll of ____ Battle Lore
  • Scroll of ____ Warding Lore

Crafting Journals

Starting at Journeyman, Scholars can make special Journals that give Crafters a boost to their chance for a Critical Success when making single-use recipes. The journal is consumed at the time of crafting and is selected on the Mastery panel just the same as other Mastery items.

Crafting Lore

Starting at Journeyman, Scholars can make Scrolls that give Crafters a small, short-duration boost to their chance for a Critical Success.

Dyes and Paints

Dyes and Paints do not require relics or fragments of research to make, making them very attractive for grinding, but they do use special hard-to-find materials. The dyes can be used to permanently color piece of gear, and the Wall Paint can be used to decorate your house which makes them very popular. At the very least, in addition to the Special Ingredient, you will need one each of Piece of Chalk<s>, Bottle of Water<s> and Small Glass Phial<s> for either type.
