==Journal==
* In order to once again gauge your growth as an arcanist, Thubyrgeim bids you travel to western La Noscea to engage in battle with more ferocious foes. Slay three roselings and three wild jackals.
* You have slain the designated creatures. Return to the Arcanists' Guild and report to Thubyrgeim.
* Satisfied with the results of your training, Thubyrgeim next orders you to accompany K'lyhia on an official inspection. Seek out the foreseer in the practice area and learn the details of your forthcoming duty.
* The foreseer explains that a goblin family of peddlers known as the Boilstox is suspected of dealing in black market goods. Predicting a violent response to her inspection, K'lyhia bids you stand ready to execute a tactic she has dubbed “Stratagem Focus Fire.” Travel to middle La Noscea, and rendezvous with the assessor at the goblins' location.
* You have successfully subdued the Boilstox. Speak with K'lyhia and follow her instructions.
* K'lyhia educates you on the necessity of knowing your own strengths and weaknesses when formulating strategies. Return to Thubyrgeim at the Arcanists' Guild and inform her that the inspection is complete.
* After returning to the guild and making your report, Thubyrgeim hints that your burgeoning abilities may soon qualify you for a more ambitious assignment. Continue to improve and experiment with your strategies in preparation for the next call to duty.
※The next arcanist quest will be available from Thubyrgeim upon reaching level 15.

Thubyrgeim 	Yes, [Player Name], the time for your next lesson is upon us. You are keeping well, I trust? Taking the occasional brisk walk? One cannot form sound thoughts if one fails to maintain a sound body.
Thubyrgeim 	Now, assuming you have been following K'lyhia's instructions, you should be ready to face the more dangerous threats found in western La Noscea.
Thubyrgeim 	I speak of roselings and wild jackals. And yes, I would have you vanquish three of each. 'Tis the perfect sample size: the first acts as a preliminary test case, the second to test your hypotheses, the third to perfect the tactics you've devised.
Thubyrgeim 	Speaking of which, I trust your strategy will consist of more than simply flinging Ruin over and over again. You are not the novice you once were, and your skills in the field ought reflect that. If you find yourself wanting for other approaches, consider the efficacious combination of Ruin and Bio. When timed appropriately, you can deal a crippling blow to your opponent.
 	
Thubyrgeim 	Welcome back, [Player Name]. How did it feel to conquer such ferocious foes? Let us ride that wave of triumph onto an even more demanding─and dangerous─challenge.
 	
Thubyrgeim 	Your next training exercise will have you accompanying Foreseer K'lyhia on one of her inspections.
Thubyrgeim 	This experience will afford you the opportunity to witness firsthand the practical application of arcanima. Pray do not tarry, [Player Name]─K'lyhia awaits you on the floor below with further details.
 	
Klyhia 	A timely appearance, as I expected. Shall we proceed directly to the job at hand? I have been tasked with examining the wares of a goblin peddler caravan run by the Boilstox family.
Klyhia 	Our agents suspect these beastman merchants of dealing in forbidden goods. As such, I have calculated that announcing an inspection has a 60% chance of inviting physical violence.
Klyhia 	I have prepared a strategy to respond to this possible shift into hostilities, but there is an important precondition you should be made aware of before we discuss the finer points of my plan.
Klyhia 	Though I am considered gifted in the formation of tactics, I lack the reflexes and coordination necessary to employ many of those selfsame strategies on the field of battle. Pray keep this factor in mind, and adjust your perceptions accordingly.
Klyhia 	Now, should the goblins offer battle, you are to execute Combat Pattern 1345, otherwise known as “Stratagem Focus Fire.”
Klyhia 	You and your Emerald Carbuncle will concentrate your attacks on a single foe, and, one by one, the enemy will wither under the combined onslaught. Probability of victory: 95%.
Klyhia 	Reports place the peddlers in the vicinity of the Cookpot, in middle La Noscea. I will depart immediately to assess the situation. Seek me out once you arrive.
 	
Klyhia 	I am Foreseer K'lyhia of Mealvaan's Gate. You are to cease all transactions and surrender your goods for inspection.
Goburin 	Nasty sneakypeekers! Gobbies spit uplander nosyeyes on stabbyiron!
Klyhia 	A predictably aggressive response. Very well, [Player Name]. Remember what we discussed!
 	
Klyhia 	Nicely done. Adaptation, improvisation─I might have been observing our beloved guildmaster himself in action!
Klyhia 	This was the perfect example of how the strategy for a given task should be tailored to the abilities of the assessor.
Klyhia 	In other words, before you begin formulating your tactics, it is necessary to fully understand your own strengths and weaknesses.
Klyhia 	On that note, there is another question I would ask you: when it comes to improving the probable success of a strategy, do you consider it more effective to concentrate on playing to your strengths, or shoring up your weaknesses?
Klyhia 	Oho, again you respond as the guildmaster once did. I must revise the probability for your potential to attain greatness to...97%. You are one to keep an eye on, that much is certain.
Klyhia 	But to return to the subject of battle plans, your calculations must include an accurate assessment of your available techniques and their relative effectiveness. This requires you to be critically aware of your own limits, the limits of your allies, and the characteristics of your enemies.
Klyhia 	I believe that covers everything for today. Please return to the guild and make your report to Mistress Thubyrgeim. Until next we meet.
Klyhia 	I shall abide here until the Yellowjackets arrive to take the peddlers into custody. My strategies will keep me company.
 	
Klyhia 	Assuming Precondition C, the execution of Combat Maneuver B would impact Scenario A in a manner which would precipitate...
 	
Thubyrgeim 	Back from the field, [Player Name]? K'lyhia contacted me with a summary of events.
Thubyrgeim 	It seems you were treated to a lecture on “knowing thyself.” That particular lesson is ordinarily taught only to intermediate practitioners.
Thubyrgeim 	Without a sufficient store of combat experience from which to draw, it is difficult to fully appreciate the profundity of such a seemingly simple truth.
Thubyrgeim 	Nevertheless, I feel confident that you will soon be ready for a more ambitious assignment. Keep to your studies, and maintain the razor edge of your mind.
Thubyrgeim 	One last thing, [Player Name]. Considering the dedication you have shown towards our discipline, I have decided to permit you leave to explore the teachings offered by other guilds.
Thubyrgeim 	I would suggest, however, that you first master the science of arcanima. The strategic training you receive here will serve you well no matter the path you eventually choose to walk. Return to me when your reason tells you the time is right.
Quest complete.	Quest complete.
