I've always hated it when any game makes me hunt around for stuff that's randomly located on the map. If you do it the old fashioned way you'll NEVER rank up, if you look up all the locations you can rank up, but what's the fun in that? I think it makes much more sense to level up in the guild by doing quests and then have the lore books provide BONUS but not mandatory points towards your skill line. Makes no sense, I'm a high elf sorcerer that only uses spells and staffs and yet I'm a higher rank in the Fighters guild than the mages guild. Maybe a good balance would be having finding the lore books as a climatic moment of a quest. For example, Shalldors tells you to go find some forgotten text that is buried deep in a haunted tomb or something.

I currently am sitting at 145/210 in level 8, and the only books i do not have are the group dungeon ones in Shadowfen, Eastmarch, Rift, and Coldharbour... and all except one from the guild line (which can't be done at level15 anyway). That's only 4 books; that's 20 points.
EP cannot get to level 10 prior to vet levels. AD and DC might be able to, but EP is screwed.
Cant' be done on AD either.
I think it's quite silly they expect us to wait until VRank just to hit lvl 10 with the Mage's Guild.
I've completed the books from all zones through Coldharbor on AD and I'm only level 8.
You can't find copies. As soon as you find one version of a book, all the copies disappear.Hmm wondering if there are some tricks to gain more like finding all the books even if they are copies. At least 2 chars for me I've had to go as far as The Rift in AD to reach the max level of mages guild.
