Trial of the Scholar
Trial of the Scholar is a one-time, solo quest in Lineage 2 Interlude for characters of level 35+. It starts with Mirien in Town of Dion.
Every Magus must pass the Trial of the Scholar. Passion and humility are essential to success.
Walkthrough

Tips
- The first part never leaves Dion and Floran Village: Maria keeps the grocery of Dion, Lucas guards the town and Creta tells fortunes in Floran. Expect to run between them several times.
- Shackle is level 45, ten levels above the quest. It lives in Dragon Valley and in the crater of the Ivory Tower; ask for help if you start the mark at 35.
- The materials for Casian are spread over four hunting grounds, and the last one, Enchanted Gargoyle, is level 44 as well. Many players finish this mark closer to level 40.
