Can we have a quest to obtain an Archon mark?

The archon mark is the mark or scholarly achievement. This is why Alisaie, Lyse, and Alphinaud don't have one. Saving the universe doesn't mean we're the smartest peanut out there.

Cool! Lemme write a thesis in a quest for scholarly achievement :P I can definitely come up with something better than Thancred

This would not surprise me.... go for it! (and also how did he get one and not Alphinaud??)

My understanding is the twins left before they could go for an Archon mark. Thancred's is in espionage, stealth, stuff like that.

I wouldn't be surprised if the twins get theirs sooner or later. If Alisaie gets the credit for discovering the cure for tempering it might be a small formality of her just writing a paper about it. (Might be a nice twist if she ends up getting one before Alphi via Matoya or someone telling the studium about her efforts to reverse tempering.)

That being the case, I can see Alisaie never getting hers specifically because it would involve writing a paper about it.

Though also at this point, I'm not sure the twins see it as all that important. They seem to care more about the positive impact of their actions rather than the title that they could hold in society.

Also quite likely. I dont think they'd get one unless there was an actual reason to (getting into those archives mayhaps?)

If I remember correctly, Alphinaud is simply waiting for his. He did presented his thesis already (that cause quite an uproar in the studium), but he left for Eorzea before they presented him the result. And the first time he came back isn't really a good time for something as frivolous as that. Wouldn't surprise he's officially graduated sometime this expack though.

But Lyse had it when she was Yda, so there's already precedent for faking it! We don't even need to be smart!

Yes but her mark was tied to Papalymo and when he died the mark disappeared. Was it really her mark?

Do slogging through crafter/gatherer role quests count as scholarly achievement? We do that nonsense in their big deal Studium, after all ᕕ(ᐛ)ᕗ
