Possible to Level Up Scholarship to 18 in First Area?

[Francophile]

Not sure if possible; want to get the explorer perk just to see the full map but not sure if you can even do that in first area. The scribe doesn't generate new books and I can't talk to many more people as I've done all the quests.

Level it up more in 2nd then return to 1st map. There is a fast travel wagon in both maps connecting regions. To answer this, i don't think it's possible.

I didn't know you could return, but that makes all the difference. Thank you!

I dont even wanna take that perk, why ruin the exploration?

It is possible, somehow I got it. You also got points into scholarship by talking to people about local customs and events, I won't remember specifics but it has happened on few occasions. Also I think there is a perk point somewhere that increases scholarshp experience gain.

You're welcome. Happy hunting.

I could give a few reasons why, but when HC mode comes out it won't matter much anyway if it's gonna follow KCD's exploration and travelling formula in Hardcore.
I rarely relied on map markers like crosses but much more on where exactly are you on the map by familiar places and remembering the road.

Exploration is exactly why I want the perk; I don't want to miss any small details or scenes and knowing where every individual spot is helpful.

It's easily possible, I have level 20 scholarship and haven't even been to the wedding yet.

A henry-tier fox potion (the level above strong) gives +50% xp for the duration, including book xp.

these skillbooks really helped me levelling scholarship:
The building that scribe is in has a level 2 scholarship book, level 2 heavy weapons book and upstairs is a level 2 strength book these are all great scholarship xp they're placed on top of cabinets though so are easily mistaken for decoration, they require stealing to obtain.
There are lots of skillbooks on the first map so depending on what level your scholarship is currently you should easily be able to get the explorer perk before leaving if you so desire.
