Thumbs up to the return!!! and /welcome back!
I'm not on your server but I am so glad to see the support from those willing and able to assist you. You'll find "Trust" companions will make leveling your scholar 1000xtimes better, as well as the simple navigation of the Records of Eminence objectives that will pretty much walk you through a number of quests while providing some excellent bonuses and other items designed to make your game play experience that much more enjoyable.
Scholar is a pretty awesome job!
