2. Talk to the Librarian. Ask about him. He will introduce himself as Professor Gerlod who specializes in book cataloging. He will ask you if you can help him return his book 'A guide to identifying midgardian vascular plants'.

  • 1. Select "You're looking worn out..."
  • 2. Then select "Maybe I could be of help finding it?" to proceed.

3. Miss Milford's house is located at (prontera 270, 96). It is on the bottom right, near the old Swordsman Association.

4. Enter inside. You'll get a popup commenting about the house in its current condition.

Note: This is the part where players needs to check every book available and scribble it down, as you will need it later on.

  • 1. Check all the books, then the bed. You'll get a intuition that someone has been here very recently.

- 2. Wait until night time in-game to meet Miss Milford. She is standing top right of the map, hidden from players camera angle. Talk to her and she will walk to the middle.

Note: Miss Milford will stay in place as long as a character stays on the map. When doing this quest with multiple characters simultaneously, 1. can therefore be skipped for any additional character.

5. Talk to her again. Miss Milford will reveal herself to be Emarentiana Milford who ran away from her brother. Note down her name. Miss Milford gives you a hint to go to Geffen.

6. Teleport to Geffen and go to the pub which is located at (geffen 136, 136). Talk to the woman on the right side. The Smart Looking Woman tells about her friend that left the pub and went to Geffen Tower to get a job.

7. Talk to the Lost Man on the third floor inside the tower (gef_tower 68, 44). He will ask for your name (any input is fine) and asks you to tell his.

  • 1. Write Bartholomaeus Milford. Bartholomaeus then asks where he is.
  • 2. Type Geffen Tower, he questions where he could find the people responsible for books and such.
  • 3. Type up or upstairs. Agreeing that it makes sense, he asks what you're looking for.
  • 4. Write A book followed by A Guide To Identifying Midgardian Vascular Plants. Bartholomaeus asks who told you about it.
  • 5. Answer Emarentiana Milford. He remembers that he has a sister and promptly nudges you to give him the author of the book.
  • 6. Write Ralf Lesia. All of his memories came flooding back, only for him to recall having lost the book in Geffen's magic shop.

8. Talk to Binding Woman in Geffen's magic shop (geffen_in 78, 177). Tell her you want to fetch a book. Bookbinder will inform you that 'A Guide To Identifying Midgardian Vascular Plants' was bought by an elderly lady somewhere in Aldebaran.

9. She is in Aldebaran at (aldebaran 179, 115). Type You have a book that is mine., then, in capslock: A GUIDE TO IDENTIFYING MIDGARDIAN VASCULAR PLANTS. Lady Mayfair says it's the right thing to return the book to its owner, but she borrowed a book to a friend of hers in Lutie.

9. In Lutie, 210, 130 is where Mayfair's friend lives. Examine the windows, then enter the portal.

Note: This is a pure RNG chance. You will either:

  • A) Knock on the door, but nobody answered.
  • B) The man answers, but tells you to go away.
  • C) He tells you about the Alchemist in Aldebaran (needed to progress the quest).
    • Answer:
    • 'Greetings from Maryan!'
    • '\<playername>'
    • 'Maryan told me you had her botany book...'
    • It turns out that Mario had lost a poker game to a very suspicious Alchemist in Aldebaran.
  • Note: If he tells you to go away at any point in the dialogue, simply re-enter the portal to try again.

10. Travel to the Alchemist Guild. Once inside, go down the stairs and go left. Talk to the Shady Alchemist at (alde_alche 154, 24).

  • They will ask you to gamble. Refuse and say that she has a book that belongs to the Prontera Library.
  • Nicholas intercepts the Alchemist's plan and tells her to return the book to you immediately. Unfortunately, a man ran off with it.
  • Shady Alchemist gives you a few hints:

<!-- -->
- That the man is researching jungle forest in the wilderness - His base is near south Umbala field not far from the town.
