==================================================

"Lore &amp; Legend" quests, also known as mastery quests, involve collecting dropped items (some real and some "virtual") from specimens of the race being studied. They yield books that can be placed in your inn room and weapons that can be mounted on its walls. As of GU31, they also allow you to use your enemy mastery ability against the type of creature in queston.

The list above shows in which zones the books you must find to start the quests are located, and what sort of weapon you'll get when you complete each of them. If a "REQUIRED Level" is noted, then you must be at least that level in order to pick up the book and start the quest; otherwise, so long as you can get to the book, you can start the quest, regardless of your level.
