For hunters who have proven themselves as capable researchers, a new research assignment can now be started at the Crystal Library.

Upon completing your Zurreal Trap Research Assignment the library will reward you with a single charm charged with magical knowledge. The Charm Shoppe at the Crystal Library now also stocks Uncharged Scholar Charms, which can be charged upon capturing a mouse that possesses great knowledge of magic.</p>
