This quest is a Friendship Level 3 quest for Jina and, as such, will be triggered once players have increased their Friendship with her. It will be activated after reading the letter she mailed to your Mailbox, and you can begin by speaking with her regarding the letter's contents.
She'll discuss the first riddle, which is as follows: "There is a house. One enters it knowing all and leaves knowing nothing." Players will receive two options as possible answers, for which the obvious answer is a school, and you'll need to wait to speak with Jina again.
When speaking to Jina for a second time, she'll provide you with another riddle to solve, as the first answer triggered a glowing effect on some runes. The second riddle will look as follows: "The key you hold shows a thirst for knowledge, but the next clue for entering these hallowed doors requires a thirst for something more."

"In figuring out the clue rests in this fountain, you deserve much congratulations. But gaining entrance to the library requires passing but one final test. You must find a stone that represents the sands of time. Slip that gem into the hilt of your key, and you shall have your revelry."
