In the town of Lowangen, a depressed romantic stands on the streets in the northeast part of town.
If there are other NPCs in his room, kill them first, then walk in and out of his room until he talks to you.
IMPORTANT:
Cast or have someone cast room shield after the other NPC's in room have been killed.
Keep 'room shield' up while giving the manuals to the depressed romantic.
This will prevent the guard/townsman from walking into room causing the player submitting manuals to
have to wait/redo the mini as if no manuals have been given to the depressed romantic.
Once he speaks, he will ask you for a manual starting with acid blast.
Give him the manual he asks for, and he will ask for the next one in alphabetical order going through
spells first then skills second.
After the first manual is turned in, the depressed romantic rewards 10 practice points for every manual turned in afterwards.
After a manual is turned in, there is a time limit that the next one has to be turned in by in order to get the 10 practices.
Not every spell or skill in the game is needed, -only- 301.
The Romantic IS picky about how the manual was obtained. see notes below
When completed, you will be awarded the Mark of Profession and a bag will random gear/items in it.
This is a crapshoot - some people have reported getting awesome items, and some people have reported getting junk.
