      Symbols in the catacomb
      No Expiration
      Venice Adventurer's Guild
      I hear you discovered catacombs beneath Syracuse. Impressive. There's a monk in Naples who heard the rumors and is looking for you. He says he made a similar discovery and needs your help for something. The guild master has more information.

                            The Old Faith
                            The monk that submitted the Quest visited the catacombs when he passed
                            through Syracuse. He had heard rumors that relics of the old faith could be
                            found there, so he went in. He found something, but he's not sure what it
                            is he actually found.

                            Four Mysterious Symbols
                            The monk found symbol-like drawings on the wall. And he wants to know their
                            meaning. They look like the symbols of a "Dove", "Peafowl", "Anchor", and
                            "Fish". After you've gathered what info you can, go and visit the monk over in Naples. I think you might be able to exchange some useful information.

                            The Meaning of "Dove"
                            A "dove"? Hmmm. Well, I once heard someone say that the dove was the messenger of God. A messenger of God was one who linked the Heavens and the people together. In other words, it represented the "Holy Spirit".

                            The Meaning of "Peafowl"
                            A "Peafowl"? Well I know that it used to be associated with Hera, the wife
                            of Zeus. Also, the spread of its tail was likened to the sun and came to
                            represent "immortality" and "rebirth". From ancient times, the peafowl has
                            been revered by many people.

                            The Meaning of "Anchor"
                            An "Anchor"? Are you kidding? I see one of those things everyday, but I
                            can't for the life of me think of why one would be drawn on the wall of a
                            cemetery. Still, if you look at it long enough, it starts to look kind of
                            like a cross, doesn't it? Maybe, some believers felt it would give them
                            "hope".

                            Ichthys
                            You want to know what the sign of the fish you found in the catacombs might
                            mean? I see... Have you ever heard the word Ichthys before? If you know
                            Greek, then surely you know what it means...

                            The Meaning of "Fish"
                            Yes, Ichthys means "fish". At the same time, it is what you get when you
                            put together the first letters of the Greek phrase "Jesus Christ, God's son
                            Savior". Now do you understand? The picture of the fish in that cemetery
                            probably refers to a "Savior".

                            Object of Faith
                            "Holy Spirit" "Rebirth" "Hope" "Savior"... I believe I understand now.
                            In past days, Christians were persecuted for their beliefs. They met secretly
                            in places like those catacombs to pray together.
                            Perhaps these symbols were a way for them to give form to their faith.

                            The Prayers that Remain
                            Thanks to you, one more mystery of our forefathers has been brought to light.
                            I had heard rumors of your searches of the area, but your work is even more
                            impressive that I had anticipated. You have my gratitude. And please.
                            Continue to investigate the catacombs. I am sure that still other prayers
                            of our ancient predecessors can be found there.

                            Pursuing the Prayers of the Ancients
                            The results of your investigation impressed the monk who commissioned the
                            quest. You have been charged with further investigating the catacombs of
                            Syracuse. After you report to the Guild office, consider going deeper into
                            the catacombs for more of the Prayers of the Ancients.

                                Did you have Italian and Greek languages? As body language will not surffice. However you can use traslation notes.

                                because you need greek to translate the greek word for fish
                                and you need a lot of luck for the quest to show up.

                                I tried a few QMPs, no success, then I reported the Upper floor discovery (just to be sure), back to Venice and burnt another 12 QMPs then I got the quest.

                                I found that you can only use translation notes for Italian, not Greek. Then with all the requirements and a lot of qmps, you get the quest.

                                It's very random with the requirements. I just got it at the first visit without using any QMP

                                What a real pain in the ass to pull this quest. I finally got it on my 3rd visit to Venice and dropping 30~40 QMP's each time. I've been to Luxor & Giza middle's before I could visit Syracuse middle.

                                Yes , it was difficult for me to get , i visited the city 6 times and then used 26 qmp's.

                                I got it after 2 qmps, with both languages and 30k adv fame.

                                The only real use of that levels IMO is the "journal of burial goods" drop, (+2 archeo), there are not that many archeo boosters in the game when you start adventuring.

                                Just got this quest after using 6 QMP. Had the following: Greek and Italian languages, 13k adventure exp, and reported discovery of upper floor.

                                You need Adept of Age (Mythical Era) to easily spawn this quest. Just have it

                                Egw
                                11-25-2016
                                You don't need a chrono title to pull this quest, or any other quest.

                                It's a common misunderstanding that you need chrono titles to pull chrono quests. It's the other way around: when you complete chrono quests you gain chrono titles.

                                The possible requirements to pull quests may be: skills, fame, completed pre quests, and in rare cases to be in the right job (and even this last item may have been scrapped, it was there traditionally but there have been recent reports to the contrary). There also used to be a rumour that the right graduate titles (merch/adv/mari graduate) help you pull better quests. I'm not sure if that was ever true or a superstition. Other than that, luck and QMPs.

                                Pulled this quest with 2 QMPs on one character who met the pre-requisites, and had an alt who did not meet the pre-reqs in my fleet who was able to get the quest by 'piggybacking' on my other character.

                                I went to the Scholar before the Noble Housewife, so apparently that order does not matter.
