Walkthrough

• Speak with Erlene in The Eldieme Necropolis (S) at J-8 (first map) as a level 30+ job and you will get a cutscene.
  • If you have it already, use the survival guide to get in The Eldieme Necropolis (S) or you can get there by entering from Batallia Downs (S) (J-10).
    • Once inside, walk straight down the tunnel into the room where it forks North and South and Erlene will be there.
• She requests 12 sheets of Vellum.
• Vellum can be purchased from the Auction House under Leathercraft or can be obtained in exchange for Rolanberries from the NPC Tucker, located in Crawlers' Nest (S) at K-8 (first map).
  • Tucker will only trade Vellum after the quest has been activated and you speak to him.
  • Tucker will accept 3 trades of up to 4 stacks of Rolanberries each per trade, so you can receive a maximum of 12 sheets of Vellum from him.
  • Even if you trade less than 4 stacks at once, that counts as one of your 3 trades. For example, if you trade him one stack of Rolanberries 3 times, you will only receive 3 sheets of Vellum total.
  • TL;DR: Head to Crawlers' Nest (S) with 12 stacks of 12 rolanberries in your inventory. (They can be bought for 120 gil from Champalpieu in Upper Jeuno.)
    • Trade 4 stacks of rolanberries to Tucker at once to receive 4 sheets of Vellum.
      • Repeat this another 2 times to receive all 12 sheets of Vellum needed for the quest, before getting blocked out from further trades with Tucker.
• If you are not a BLM, RDM, SMN, or BLU, change to one of those jobs now. It does not need to be level 30.
• After handing in the sheets to Erlene, you will get a cutscene. Then you will be asked to use one of the following SP Abilities: Astral Flow, Chainspell, Azure Lore or Manafont.
• With one of these abilities in effect, speak to Erlene again to activate another cutscene. You will be rewarded with the Grimoire and the ability to change your job to Scholar.

Notes

• Once your Scholar is level 5 or higher, return to Erlene in The Eldieme Necropolis (S) to learn the spells Embrava and Kaustra. These spells are not available via scroll, you will learn them automatically when speaking to her while on Scholar.
