How to Attain Letzt Stil
Letzt Stil is the Quincy awakening, and unlike the meditation-heavy Soul Reaper and Arrancar paths, it is earned through service. Quincy progression is locked until Level 25 - at which point every Quincy receives the Soldat Cap - and from there the main route is completing missions for the Lieutenant, opened with the L key.
Each mission carries a star rating from 1 to 3, and more stars means more progress. The often-missed step: after finishing a mission you must talk to the Lieutenant again and press 'report task' to turn it in for progression XP. Unreported missions do not advance you.
The milestones then arrive in a fixed order - the Sanrei Glove, your Evolved Spirit Weapon, glove meditations, and finally a boss fight against Securis in the Arctic Plains that grants your Schrift and unchains Letzt Stil from the glove.

Mission grind and the Sanrei Glove
Work through Lieutenant missions and report each one. Upon completing enough missions he asks you to obtain the Sanrei Glove: an NPC in the Wandenreich sells the recipe for 300 Soul Tokens, and crafting it requires a Broken Quincy Medallion, a Frost Alloy and 2 Strange Essences. You can equip the Sanrei Glove at any time - doing so changes your L key to meditation.
Evolved Spirit Weapon and meditations
After more missions, the Lieutenant congratulates you and grants your Evolved Spirit Weapon - the evolution that changes your Quincy weapon's Criticals. At the next milestone he tells you to meditate with the Sanrei Glove; community documentation puts this at about 3-5 meditations at 70 Max Reiatsu.
The Securis fight and your Schrift
At the final milestone, the Lieutenant commands you to travel to the Arctic Plains and fight Securis. Defeating Securis grants your Schrift - the Quincy letter-power - and removes your reliance on the Sanrei Glove to activate Letzt Stil. From that point the awakened mode is yours without the equipment condition.

FAQ
Why isn't my Quincy progression moving?
Missions only count once reported - after finishing one, talk to the Lieutenant again and press 'report task'. Higher-star missions (1-3 stars) grant more progress.
What do I need for the Sanrei Glove?
Buy the recipe from a Wandenreich NPC for 300 Soul Tokens, then craft it with a Broken Quincy Medallion, a Frost Alloy and 2 Strange Essences. Equipping it turns your L key into meditation.
Do Quincy always need the Sanrei Glove for Letzt Stil?
Only until the final milestone - defeating Securis in the Arctic Plains grants your Schrift and removes the glove requirement.
