Chenga – Sherekhan Tome of Wisdom
The Adventurer’s Tome can be upgraded through a questline that begins with the quest, Hoom’s Song, given by Aljai who is stationed on Macalod Hill in Drieghan. Through a series of riddle-laden quests, you can obtain the Chenga Tome, which adds 30%Â to Combat EXP obtained through quests that reward Combat EXP.
Chenga Tome is an excellent way to level if you are tired of grinding and it’s faster than grinding at later levels.
At level 60, each non repeatable quest that rewards Combat EXP will give you approximatly 1.3% of your level.
Besides the +20% Prognyl Silver Bar Gain, the Chenga Tome also increases Vision Range +150m.
Important Note regarding the Chenga Tome questline:
- At least 1 character in your family must be level 53+
Black Spirit’s Gift (Adventurer’s Tome)
After reaching level 53, the Black Spirit will give you a quest called, Black Spirit’s Gift (Adventurer’s Tome) . Complete that quest to receive the Adventurer’s Tome, then the rest of your lower level characters should be able to access the quest also to get an Adventurer’s Tome.
Chenga Tome for Alts
You do not need to be level 53+ to do the Chenga Tome questline. You can complete it on a secondary character who is lower level. I completed it on my level 30 Ranger.
Also, the Chenga Tome is giveable to other characters in your family.
You will need 170 usable energy to complete the entire questline
Several riddles during the questline will require you to spend energy to hand in an answer and gain knowledge on that subject. If your character does not have that big of an energy pool, bring energy pots which can be purchased off the marketplace. If you make mistakes and give the wrong answer you will end up needing more energy, so be sure to give the correct answer and have extra energy or energy pots on hand in case of mistakes. After taking your first character through the questline, your other characters will not need any energy to complete the questline as the quests which required energy the first time through will auto complete.
You also have the option of just waiting for the energy to slowly regen. There are several items you can use to speed up energy regeneration.
Progress can be tracked through the Quest Log:Â
Press O key then Suggested tab.
[ADV Support][Lv.53]Legendary Leveling with Chenga and Quests 0/22.
There are a total of 22 quests.
If you have trouble finding the Chenga Tome questline in the quest log, you can start with NPC Aljai on Macalod Hill.
Chenga Tome is not replaceable once destroyed:
The Chenga Tome cannot be easily replaced if you destroy it like the Adventurer’s Tome. To get another you would need to complete the Chenga Tome questline on another character.

Thanks for the guide, really appreciate it
Is there way to get new crystal for book? (someone was stupid and deleted it)
gotta do it on a different char
or maybe support will restore it for you – but probably not
Very helpful guide, thanks for sharing!
Hi thanks for the guide. I have 1 correction, during “The Rumbling Sound of Drieghan” you listed the musical spirits locations inaccurately. The 1st one is correct, the second one you said “North West of the Docks” this is not correct, it is actually to the South East. Likewise, the 3rd is to the south / south west.
Thanks!
Thank you for the guide!
ez guide , ty
Be careful if you do auto path on a horse. Some of the quest locations need to be accessed by swimming and the water is deep enough to drown your horse.
Thanks a lot!!!
I think I’d rather brush my teeth and chug a litre of orange juice than ever do this quest series again
That was incredibly long and painful, but great guide. Thank you!
Has anyone tried to do this quest at lvl 30 recently?
I just finished the quests on a Level 22 Nova. A few of them are vastly simplified and energy is not an issue anymore.
thanks for the guide, you help me a lot
Fantastic Guide. Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much!
How to I give the tome to other characters?
Hello 🙂 Put it in your Storage in any major city, then switch character, then open storage on new character.
sincerely thanks for the guide
I accidentally deleted one my character with my tome please help
Hello 🙂 In the Chenga Tome description it says in red, “※ You’ll not be able to receive another Chenga – Sherekhan Tome of Wisdom if you throw this one away.” I would try contacting a GM via support. I hope they can help.
If you accidentally throw it away for some strange reason, you might be able to get it back via (in newer GUI menu)
Adventurer Support->Item Restore(2 items a month can be restored this way).
Hello 🙂 Thanks for the tip!
Thank you very much! Respect for the detailed explanation of the quest 🙂
You’re welcome. Have fun questing! 🙂
Relevant as ever, took me right through the quest. maybe even update the title with ‘2023’. Thank you!
Thanks for the encouragement! 🙂
Just wanted to let you know I was able to autopath/navigate to Aljai on my lvl30 Shai. So maybe the game did an update? Also the quest group is now called [ADV Support][Lv.53]Legendary Leveling with Chenga and Quests 0/22
Thanks for the update!
Quick correction: The NPC’s name is “Aljai” with an “i” (as in eye) at the end, not an “l” (as in “ell”) at the end. Important if you’re trying to use the “Find NPC” function!
Thanks for the heads up. It’s corrected.
Extremely helpful and knowledgeable!!!
Thanks for the encouragement!
This guide is awesome.. I really appreciate it.
YW, have fun!
