  • Pay attention to the emotes you get!
  • These emotes will help guide you on what you need, if you did not get Expertly Studied Ancient Lyrics.
  • If you did not get Expertly Studied Ancient Lyrics, you can work on what you may need and then try again (do this quest again).
    • Completion of 'Cipher of Divine Language') from Planes of Power progression;
    • Language Skills (the more, the better);
    • Singing Skill, but it's not a big factor by any means... however, if you are not a Bard, perhaps swapping to a Bard Persona can provide that little boost you may need.
    • NOTE: Research does NOT apply to this process, even though one of the emotes seems to suggest that it does.
  • These noted factors will determine if you get Studied Ancient Lyrics; Well-Studied Ancient Lyrics; or an Expertly Studied Ancient Lyrics.
  • You CAN finish the task, with whichever version you get.
