Tips

This is the Deep Forest of Patience at the Mysterious Statue in Sleepywood, not the Forest of Patience through Shane in Ellinia.
The job gloves and the earrings are Lv60 (Work Gloves are Lv10), and the quest starts at Lv65, so you can wear them as soon as you get them.
After each turn-in John hints there may be treasure if you go back into the forest, but he promises nothing.
The gloves and earrings are tradeable, so you can pass on what you don't use.
