Spending time at the University lately, I’ve taken the time out to work on my scholarship… a slow slog, unfortunately. Getting ASotC up to level 3 is easy, of course - a few trips to the Carnival, and you’re there. But beyond that, things seem to get… problematic.
Now, my current method is ‘doing some actual research’ at the University, but I’m already aware that as soon as I move on with the main University storyline, I’ll loose access to that. Are there other reliably grindable sources of advancement in ASotC later on? Or does it become entirely reliant on odd Opportunities? I’ve tried to scour the wiki, but it’s hard to figure out which options are repeatable. Several likely prospects - such as Seeking Curios, etc., in the Forgotten Quarters - seems to top out at Level 7, too.
A final question, however, is… why? I’m mostly doing this because I find the Correspondence intriguing, and enjoy the pursuit of knowledge for its own sake, but… what use is there for a high level of Scholarship? The wiki shows a looooong list of options that require it, but… basically all of them only needs ONE level, or three at most. Is it actually worthwhile to max it out, or does levels of it become pointless after a certain threshold?
