Calligraphy training help

[spider91301]

Is it now impossible to learn calligraphy my friend in my guild has close friends with the npc but still cant learn it I learned mine from joeh so are like new players screwed or is it you need soulmates or something

[ShieldBreaker]

Are they close friends with Sammie in Serbule Hills or Joeh. I think your suppose to learn it from Sammie now, but I have heard people say things like they did the Favor Leather Party and started it that way. Have they talked to Sammie about Calligraphy in particular?

Wish I could be more help on this, but I too learned it from Joeh way back on each of my characters. So if anyone has done it from scratch recently, chime in and help clear it up. It would be nice to know for sure.

My information matches ShieldBreaker's.
The 8/28/17 patch notes mention that...

* Joeh no longer unlocks Calligraphy. That is now unlocked by a new NPC in Serbule Hills.
* Jara no longer trains the recipes for calligraphy benches. They are taught by a new NPC, Paul Vaughn.

If thats true rip new people on the bright side glad I learned before this crap happened tempted to make a alt and get soulmates an see if i cant learn it then again why waste all that time

I just learned calligraphy on an alt

You have to do every quest Joah gives you and then he teaches you calligraphy

Seconded on this.

I learned it, without really trying to, by doing favors/feeding bacon to Joeh. After I had learned it, when i talked to Sammie, she gave me some additional recipes.

[spider91301]

Nope tried the same thing with her it she wont even teach you even if you do all that crap rip the future generation of swordsmen perma handycapped maxed her out on a alt at soulmates and did all her favors she does nothing

Even if it actually is broken, why are some people posting as if it will never be fixed and new people should just give up now and forever?

[Ells0430]

You keep saying "her" but the person that teaches calligraphy is Joah (the armor guy in Serb) not Sammie. I learned it after I did the last quest he gave me (the one where you give him 50 leather rolls) I don't think it has much to do with how close you are with him...I know I am not soulmates. I hope this helps :)
