Choose one of the following options:

Walkthrough

As of Patch 5.3, completion of the Crystal Tower sidequest chain up through Feature QuestThe Light of Hope is required to pass this point. These Alliance Raid alliance raids are not difficult and can be done blind in the Duty Finder. Tanks will have the longest queue times as only 3 of the 24 players in Alliance Raids are tanks.

Steps

Journal

  • Eager to obtain additional readings with which to confirm his theory, your scholarly companion proposes a visit to Urth's Fount. Proceed to the next─and hopefully final─survey site.
  • Having arrived in Urth's Fount, the scholar bids you do what you have done before: stand watch at an appropriate distance while he takes his measurements.
  • The news of Wilred's death comes as a shock to Minfilia, who cannot fathom why anyone would want to harm the boy. In a hollow voice, she declares that Alphinaud will want to conduct an investigation and send word to Wilred's family, before sinking back into her own thoughts...

Unsettled Scholar: You should be more than familiar with the procedure by now. Pray find a suitable position from which to keep watch while I take measurements.

Optional Dialogue

Unsettled Scholar: We will be here all morning/day/night if you do not leave me be, young man/lady!
