Yeah, it's annoying as it is the only one I'm missing from the Dispatches of the Deadlands books on this character. :-(

Has anyone actually found these books on bookshelves?

Emeric's Judgment - Galen and Y'ffelon
Exodus of the Druids - Galen and Y'ffelon
The Tempest and the Sunflower - Galen and Y'ffelon
The Distributed Soul - Imperial City/Sewers (addon says Shadowfen though)

Emeric's Judgment i found a while ago, Exodus of the Druids and The Tempest and the Sunflower i saw today in bookshelves. One in Castle Mornard (first on the right when u come in), one in the Dungeons of Castle Tonnere (around half a dozen Bookshelves there, good source. Entrance in a cave on the west/seaside.)

Hello everyone. I have a character I’ve played for years and am just now getting around to completing the Eidetic books since reading this thread.

One book I have not been able to find and I cannot find any reference to any problem with it here or anywhere on the internet. It’s “Confessions of a Khajiit Fur Trader”. According to UESP, it is in Mephala’s Nest in Stonefalls. I cannot see it there on my main character or even on a brand new character that I visited the delve for the first time. I searched in the area around the delve but didn’t see anything there either. There was one quest that sent you to the delve and my main character has done it, it is The Missing Prophesy”. So if it was only available during the quest and I didn’t read it, then I have a problem. I know of no post-quest location for it.

Any help would be appreciated. Thanks.

You can try to form a group with someone who has not yet done this quest. If you can't enter the portal/door then you can teleport to the other player who is inside.

It's right outside the delve entrance, if it's the book I'm thinking of.

I checked there, and I checked the tents just below the area too. Nothing.

That would be a super bad long rng for me then. This toon has the bulk of the 13000 or so playable hours I have in ESO.

I would guess, the entry in UESP is because this book once was found in one of the bookshelves in Mephala's Nest. There are around a dozen of them (mostly in the bigger chamber in the north).
Add-on speaks only of "bookshelves all over Tamriel", like IdolaDeus stated. So personaly i would check the bookshelves in Mephala's Nest daylie. It's a better chance for to cheat the rng-thingy a bit. Maybe. Wish u good luck.

I did this on an alt and although you can get inside, the book is not visible if you have already done the quest. It appears as part of the quest for the other person, but not if you have completed the quest.

@Djennku So "Letter from Leramil the Wise" from new prologue is fixed so we get note from Crown Store and after quest in Outlaws Refuge where we meat Leramil and 2 "dremora"(?)

Djennku · February 7

@ZOS_Kevin Would you please, if you are able, tell us what book we need to read to fix this bugged book?

Djennku · February 7

Also, there's an ongoing theme where people are grouped up on a non-repeatable quest, and the group member picks up the lore books, they disappear from the overland for the player because their groupmate picked it up, and they finished the quest and turned it in without ever being able to read said books they should have been able to collect because it became unavailable to them, and them not even realizing something went wrong in the first place.

Their eidetic memory then becomes permanently incomplete due to this issue (like mine is at the moment), which is a nightmare for collectors, and hopefully, this issue gets sent to the devs so they can work out any fixes.

Maybe simply placing a permanent overland copy in the world outside of said quests regardless if the quest has already been finished prior (this has been the issue with my bugged book in the past, and others), or something else entirely to prevent future issues with people grouping for quests.

I personally have zero experience with programming, or the ease or difficulty of doing anything like this, but as of now, I'd just like to make the devs aware of this ongoing issue so they can work on resolving it as and when.

Fynboar the resurrected can be found in the index after completing both of destuzono's quests.

Is there a way to get the lore (back into that room) once you’ve completed both quests? I thought I checked the room all the way but I missed this one. Or maybe I misunderstand what you mean by ‘index’

Is "Chronicle of Apocrypha" still unavailable after the quest?

"The Index" is the entrance/foyer room of the Infinite Archive. The books you unlock in the random rooms inside it re-appear on the pedestals on/near the center "island" within it.
(Note: apparently per character)

Edit: Answering your other question, yes, it is also possible to get back into that room. You will get random portals leading there, and can get the repeatable "collect 10 book pages" quest now.

Thank you and @GeneralEU ; I don’t think I’ve ever noticed those pedestals before.

I'm looking for the book Orders from R in the Reach Trader. I've scoured the Sanuarach mine but don't see it. Is it bugged after quest or am I just blind?

It's on the ground floor.

Awesome, thank you!

I think I went into the wrong entrance since there was only 1 floor in there. Your answer made me look for another entrance.

Good news guys
But this need confirn by someone from NA server:

Found all of them.

Journal of justicuar avanaire require you to read a book before it appears. I'm still figuring out which.

Blackscale island is right outside the delve.

Communications is in the main central room of Kimmel-ze by the door to the quest boss.

Order of the abbot is on a very obvious signpost in front of the necropolis in the middle of Necrom outside the door.

The three books are found on bookshelf platforms in the hall of secrets/last room of the Ravening Morass building. They are all scrolls and easy to spot.

All bugged books accounted for and readable.

I am still missing the following books. I have completed all of the quests and do not have them in eidetic memory. Absolutely none of them are at the locations described above.

Closed by the Order of the Abbot - no sign post or readable in front of the necropolis outside of the door.
Communications Between Nilphas and Thoryn - No readable near any of the doors in the middle room, or anywhere else
Ilasaba's Excuses - all of the bookshelf platforms are empty
Onri Murrien's Hidden Wishes - all of the bookshelf platforms are empty
Zeirinia's Silent Admission - all of the bookshelf platforms are empty
The Curse of Blackscale Island - nothing outside of the delve

@ZOS_Kevin - I've opened ticket 240217-011373 regarding this.

Outside the Disquiet Study:

Outside the Necropolis:

The doors in the central room of Kemel-Ze:

Eidetic memory:

Anyone remember where they put the book Cipher Akacirn's Journal as a fix for people who missed it prior? I'm going mad trying to remember where they added it to get it for a friend and I can't find the patch notes nor the place in this thread where it was talked about. Please and ty!
