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. In fact, Crafting Lore scrolls are the only recipes you are given for free at all ranks, even Artisan and above.
Speak to any Novice Scholar for the first three, or Expert Scholar for the last two.

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.
