This is one of the new Inscription weeklies added in Mists of Pandaria. Completing them requires level 600 Inscription. The reward is a Scroll of Wisdom, which is used for Darkmoon Cards, Epic Staves, and Epic Off-hands. There are only two viable methods for obtaining a Scroll of Wisdom: the daily cooldown (Scroll of Wisdom) and these weeklies.
This specific quest is unique amongst the weekly quests. While it does require an abnormally massive amount of materials, it is the only quest to reward two Scrolls of Wisdom. To complete this quest, you need to craft 3 blue-quality Agility staves ([spell=111920]) and 2 blue-quality Intellect staves ([spell=111917]).
The total mats needed to complete this quest are:

Honestly, all of these weeklies seem a bit excessive for only one or two scrolls. They are severely limiting scribes that are trying to make gear...
Has anyone Picked this up since MoP went live? I keep getting the Painting one.

Description
It seems like the Tian Monsatery is training a lot of monks this year. We've received a huge commission for staves. And by huge, I mean HUGE. Could you take on part of the commission? I'd very much appreciate it. You will receive the rewards for your portion, of course.
