Walkthrough

  • Talk to Jonette on the middle floor near the stream at (G-9).

Completion of this quest requires you to have access to one of two zones; Phomiuna Aqueducts, or Sacrarium. Each require different progress within the Chains of Promathia missions to enter (see the proper zones page for info). The goal to finish in either case is to check a ??? target on a bookshelf to find the key item Tavnazian cookbook.

  • Phomiuna Aqueducts Walkthrough:
    • The bookshelves in Phomiuna Aqueducts are located in the four rooms of (F-7), (F-9), (J-7), (J-9) on the third map.
    • From the entrance, navigate to one of the two iron doors at either (G-8), or (J-6). You will need a Bronze Key item, or a Thief with proper tools, to pick the lock and open the iron door. Be cautious of the Taurus nearby and navigate past the iron door to the ladder at (E-8) or (M-8).
    • At this point there are 2 true-sight taurus enemies in either hallway leading to the libraries. Deal with them as you see fit, but please note there is no way to avoid their aggro in the narrow corridors. The library where the ??? targets for the Tavnazian cookbook are just beyond.
    • The ??? target for the Tavnazian cookbook can appear on one of two bookshelves within a library. Either the north or south one.
    • ??? targets move to the next room in the pattern approximately every 10 minutes earth time.
    • Once you've found the ??? check it for the key item, Tavnazian cookbook.
    • Return to Jonette in Tavnavian Safehold, and speak to her. She will take the cookbook, award you with a Page from Miratete's Memoirs and the quest is completed.
  • Sacrarium Walkthrough:
    • The bookshelves in Sacrarium are located in the outer rooms surrounding the maze. The ??? targets only appear within the four corner rooms. Passing through the maze is required to reach them.
    • You will need a form of sneak to travel safely. Invisible is not needed at all. The zone has multiple truesight aggressive Stegotaur enemies positioned at key areas that require attention to pass by safely.
    • From the entrance, take one of the two paths into the maze that is accessible according to the day. There is always one Stegotaur which can spawn in either hall's maze entrance. If it's blocking the opened path to the maze, one way to pass by is try to avoid it when it turns away. Another way would be to aggro it, zone, then pass its area before it can respawn.
    • Navigate through the maze to the north or south corridors of Sacrarium.
    • The ??? target will be in one of the four corner rooms at (F-5),(H-5), (F-11), or (H-11). They are located on the inner sides of bookshelves facing away from the door.
    • The ??? target moves to the next room every 10 minutes earth time.
    • The pattern the ??? target changes rooms is: Northeast > Northwest > Southeast > Southwest. Verification Needed
    • Once you've found the ??? check it for the key item, Tavnazian cookbook.
    • Return to Jonette in Tavnavian Safehold, and speak to her. She will take the cookbook, award you with a Page from Miratete's Memoirs and the quest is completed.
  • Repeating the Quest: The quest can be repeated once every conquest week. Restart the quest by simply speaking to Jonette the next conquest week.

Note: If you do not return to Jonette to receive the Page from Miratete's Memoirs before the current conquest week ends, you will not be able to repeat the quest the next week.
