== Overview ==
Cara needs your help in collecting Menhir Mana Field signatures.

;Prerequisites
* Although this quest is level 50 and above, you must be level 180 and in a society to reach all 20 of the mana fields. A level 50 may reach up to 16 of the 20 fields for a reduced reward.

== Walkthrough & Notes ==
''See also: [[Menhir Research/Menhir by Efficiency]] for completing the quest on multiple characters.''

# [[Cara the Apprentice]] will hand you an {{Itemlink|Enchanted Mana Stone}}, which you must use whilst standing at at a menhir mana field to see if the mana fields have changed. Menhir mana fields are typically found at [[Menhir Ring]]s, but not all menhir rings have mana fields, and not all mana fields are found at menhir rings.
# Menhir mana fields are found inside dungeons and on the landscape all over Dereth. See the map for confirmed locations.
# You can take the stone back to Cara when you have found 5 or more fields, or you can continue on for up to 20 mana fields.
# Turning in the stone at any point completes the quest and resets the repeat timer. If you turn in the stone before you have found 20 fields, a pop-up box will ask you if you want to complete the quest now.

Notes
* The menhir mana fields are numbered, but it does not matter in which order you complete them.
* The [[Enchanted Mana Stone]] may be used while running, and using it will not stop you. You must be within the borders of the mana ring to receive credit, however; be as close to the center as possible.
* Giving the stone to Cara is a good way to check how many menhir mana fields you've found. Just be sure to click "No" to prevent completing the quest if you wish to continue searching.
