Those who have the Eidetic Memory, look for it in the Skill Books section of Lore and you'll see it grayed out. It's supposed to give you a skill point in Enchanting but can't be found.

    Hey there @Elmojito1000eb17_ESO,

    Currently, there are two different versions of "A Request for Relief," one that appears in the skill books collection and one that appears in the crafting collection. Though they are identical, you'll need to read both to get the book checked off in each section.

    We're looking into this issue for a resolution in a future patch. Thanks for your patience and for the report!

    So I'm screwed if I have the book under the skill book section but still greyed out in crafting book section?

    Bookshelves are randomly refreshed every now and then. A bookshelf you once checked and read a book from is likely to have a different book in it next time you check it. Some bookshelves take a few days to change books though.

    Looks like non of these locations work anymore as I have a character who I have been playing since launch. I have mostly all Lores but this one. The locations given do not include this lorebook. I won't be spending hours looking for it anymore.

    Hey I'm appreciating the reply after almost 3 years. Been looking for it for a long time now. The general consensus is, it will spawn randomly in Craglorn, either in a bookshelf, or on a desk/table, in either a town or delve. I'll update once I find it!

    I found it in craglorn. In one of the delves. Was on a small pile in the main chamber with npcs around it. Forget which delve tho but it was one of the ones in lower crag to the mid to upper right

    I believe that this is fixed now. I found the second copy in the Star Gazers Observatory in Craglorn. I suspect that it is Random, but check out the bookshelves in Craglorn and you will probably find it.

    So... today I realised I don't have the achievement and searched a bit but there is no certain information about this. Then I saw that most of people found it in Craglorn so TPed there and went to Star Gazer's.
    Guess what? It was there buuut... It's still bugged. I won't get achievement.

    An interesting bug still exists after 10 years...

    Greetings,

    We have closed this topic as it was originally created in August 2015. In many cases, it's better to create a new thread on a topic that you want to discuss as opposed to bumping one that is rather old.

    Thank you for your understanding.
