Well said. While enabling us to accept titles such as Warrior of Light, we have yet to publish academic treatises on any of it. How are the scholars of Sharlayan to judge us, since they don't grant "honorary degrees"?Quote:

The expansion where we spend our time actually learning rather than acting will be the one in which he might recommend we be declared Archon. Somehow, I find the idea of reading in the forbidden section of the library to not be enough of a reward for the effort.Quote:

10-31-2022, 03:58 AMTheMightyMolluskAccording to Encyclopedia Eorzea, Thancred earned his Mark for his survival and intelligence gathering skills and Yda earned hers for her martial prowess. It's not purely academics.Quote:

Thancred studied "survival and intelligence gathering techniques". Yda apparently studied martial arts. Both became really good at what they do.Quote:

The Archon entry in the Encyclopedia Eorzea is pretty much the same as in the quest we've been referencing, by the way. -
10-31-2022, 04:33 AMRukoBoshiWho's saying to make that MSQ or a whole expansion out of it ? A single quest or sidequest could do the trick.Quote:

But more seriously, if they ever gave it to us, it would probably be a meaningless reward for a quest or something.
Also you shouldn't post multiple times in a row like that, just edit your comment when replying to multiple people. -
10-31-2022, 04:54 AMGeminaI'm not positive on this, but I believe Y'shtola being under the tutelage of Matoya, and likewise with Thancred being placed under the wing of Louisoix was how their academic efforts were recognized. Not exactly from the Studium, but kind of like getting a G.E.D. Yda, not too sure. The whole being dead thing makes it difficult for me to recall her past.Quote:
