While you were out gallivanting, did you notice any lost relics around Azsuna? My sources tell me there are treasures to be found. These rumors merit investigation!

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

Where this quest fits

Before this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • A Mysterious TextLevel 10-45

    You found a water-logged tome near the bones of a massive creature. Written in an unfamiliar language, the book is adorned with runes and alchemical symbols. Perhaps another alchemist would be able to tell you more.

After this quest

Taken from the storyline's own step order.

  • There's a Scribe for ThatLevel 10-45

    Fine! I admit, even my considerable intellect can't translate the strange tome you discovered. No doubt the water smears made it illegible. Say, one of those dimwitted scribes down the block owes me a favor. This sort of busywork is just his cup of tea.
