@StrangerFull Have you completed all the quests in Wrothgar? 'A Plea for Help' is read during the main quest as required reading if I recall.

Yes. I complete Wrothgar. All game quests completed in all locatiuons. But no book. This book from invenroty or some locked dungeon? If it in dungeon can I travel to player which in this dungeon (it's impossible with Hubbajad Palace in Hew's bane for example).

@Oldbushie

I got Dawn of the Exalted Viper by entering the area again as a group with someone who hadn't completed the quest; it's located in the back of the area where you fight the Exalted Viper. But now that Craglorn has been revamped and reset, you could probably get in there simply by going through the quest line again.

Mix

@StrangerFull

1. Tome of Daedric Portals (Daedric Cults): not 100% sure where, but a lowbie of mine that only did Bleakrock, Bal Foyen and a bit of Stonefalls has this book read. Might be bookshelf?

19. A Less Rude Song (Words of the Poets) - not located yet

Captain Evani's Log: In the Dreamsnake (north facing boat in Abah's harbor) in a small room in the lower deck on the desk, does not glow, prompt says Read "Dreamsnake Captain's Log"

StrangerFull

Many thanks for description of books places.

1. Tome of Daedric Portals (Daedric Cults) - must be quest related and locked in quest zone Lorkrata Hills inside ruins. I check this place after patch and didn't find book near entrance. Entrance locked. Maybe travel to player who inside ruins helps get this book (I got some books by this way early before fixes goes live)
2. Practical Necromancy 100% quest related A Walk Above the Clouds in The Rift but no book at quest finish place.

Maybe I can remember some books places listed in this post which I found.

It's all that I need. Other books can be find by me (like Respectful Greetings from Am-Shadal and Unhallowed Legions).

To developers. I thing you must transfer styles books from eidetic memory category to a new separate category "Style books" in book list. Make new caegory and transfel all style books to this category for better navigation in books.

@StrangerFull Where did you find Unhallowed Legions?

Oldbushie

Thanks, @Mix ! I ended up redoing the Craglorn questline to get that one book, and noted down the Cyrodiil locations you mentioned. It's gonna be a pain getting past those scroll gates...

Mix

Since DSC II was the pledge today, I took the opportunity to look for Adainaz's Journal on both normal and veteran difficulties. I even looked in the tunnel that shortcuts back to the exit after you kill Engine Guardian and I didn't find it. I know the text is related to DSC but I don't think it is in DSC II at least...have to DSC I a go-over again I guess.

I didn't find this book. This book must be in Impertial City bookshelves, randomly spawns. Two books from these bookshelves I need but didn't find yet.

efster

I can't get back inside Fharun Prison to get Letter from a Prison Guard -- the well originally used for access is not interactable, and neither is the exit door inside the stronghold. I've searched the forums but can't seem to find an updated location for this book, does anyone have any tips?

VolvoXX

Thx a lot to you guys putting that much effort into this! Also hunting for completion and this here helped a lot to find some of my missing books.

I have checked with the spreadsheet and addon and what im still missing (besides still bugged books) is:

1. Its the hunt that counts
I know its related to a quest in Cyro north of Farragut, i did this quest, so cant talk with the NPC again to get the list, is there any location after quest?

2. Hadmals Journal Page12
Related to a quest in Eastmarch, any loacation after?

3. A Plea for the Elder Scroll
Its located in the scroll temple in Cyro, tried to read it on each faction temple, but it doesnt count as readed in the library for some reason.

4. Redfur Journal, v.2
Its located in Grathwood in Reliquary Ruins, but after Quest i cant access this room anymore. Is there any other copy or another way in this room?

5. Start Teeth, Volume1
Addon says it should be in Crypt of Hearts, but cant find it anywhere.


And as a note:
I have "Aidanaz's Journal" marked as read, sadly cant remember where I found it, but obviously it exists in game and can be read somewhere.

BlackEar

I went through dark shade yesterday (although not with a comb) and didn't find it. Must be very well hidden. Perhaps it is located in the long narrow route that leads to the entrance (which is blocked off).

StrangerFull

Star Teeth, Volume 1 in CoH, but normal CoH and Veteran a different. Look in another CoH difficult.
Quartermaster's Log must be in Tempest Island dungeon if I remember correctly.

Holger30

How do I get into the areas of the other faction?
Im Aldmeri and i need some Books from the other faction.
I need 27 Books the most at the Imperial Section and Cyrodiil.

Missing Citizens - Mysteries and Clues. Has anybody found a copy of this outside of the quest? It is from the Through the Ashes quest in Dawnbreak, Auridon. Nevermind this one, found it sneaky behind a tree.

@Kyoma Ok, I've been all over Dawnbreak with a finetooth comb and cannot find this book anywhere. I'm 99% convinced that it's phased out after you complete the quest.

Can you please point me towards the the tree you found it behind?

Rainchii

@Mix

So as I was running around looking for potential book locations for Irgnar's Journal and Gamwyn's Journal from Personal Journals in The Rift, I came across the quest giver Snorrvild once again. It seems that ZOS had 'reset' my Lost Companions quest and I could once again do it. I'm not sure if it'll be the same for everyone but I thought I'd post this find just in case.

Just a side note, if it has in fact reset for you again, make sure you read the journals and confirm they've been added to your collection as they aren't there once the quest has been completed.

Mix

@Rainchii Thanks, I will go look at that (I am not personally missing them, but there isn't an after Q location)

@stoob16_ESO "Missing Citizens" was sneaky, I will grab a screenshot of it and add to first post.

@Holger30 I do need a list of the books you are missing from other alliances. You can find the "Letter to Grand Warlord Dortene" at 9x27 southern highrock gate, behind shed at house W of temple of Alma Ruma and "Letter to Grand Warlord Zimmeron" at 82x19, just E of Chim at the start of the southern road, northern Morrowind gate. In both cases the gates have to be open.

@BlackEar The long narrow tunnel should open up after the final boss is killed. I am starting to wonder if our assumption that the book is in DSC due to the content of it is wrong. This morning I scoured the outside of DSC again and found nothing.

@VolvoXX Aha! It is good to hear that someone has "Adainaz's Journal" marked read, at least we know it exists!

1. It's the Hunt that Counts: post-Q it is North of the EP side Imperial City gate at 56x33, it a little camp set up there (SW of Chalman for a second landmark)

2. Hadmal's Journal, Page 12: adding to bugged list

3. A Plea for the Elder Scrolls: First, which of these are you missing, each book references one of the Generals, so we can identify the exact book that you are having trouble with. Second, this sounds very character specific and you may want to submit an in-game report for it.

4. I'll snoop a bit for the Redfur Journal, v.2 and if I cannot find will add to bugged list.

5. Same as above, with dungeon books though we have to look on both Normal and Veteran difficulties to be sure it isn't present in one and not the other.

@zmobie_dementor Adding this book to the "Players Seeking" list, I'll have a quick look for it and if we cannot locate it will be added to the bugged list.

For Everyone: the IC bookshelves have a few books that seem specific to them and aren't in the Imperial Library category and the respawn of the bookshelves is annoyingly slow! The list below is of the most rare of these books, I was missing them all before finding out they were only spawning on IC bookshelves.

Introduction to Aedric Studies
Thwarting the Daedra: Dagon's Cult
The Distributed Soul
The Year 2920, Vol. 27
Unhallowed Legion
Glorious Upheaval

The Collected Theory Hypothesis (also found on a bookshelf in Hollow City, Coldharbour)

Redfur Journal, v.2 is accessible, you have to go through the secret passage in the bookshelf to access that area, the exit door cannot be entered. See spoiler for screenshots. Reliquary Ruins, Grahtwood.

"List of Names" - part of the Mysteries and Clues section, and available through the quest "Blood and the Crescent Moon" in Daggerfall. Lorebooks says it is available at the clothier's shop and down in the river by the blacksmithing station - negative in both instances.

While it is a good sign I'm not sure this means that the book still exists as a large number of dungeon quests have been remodelled multiple times. Now....I know it also isn't 100% sure that the book is indeed in Darkshade (or ever was) and I suppose atleast having one source of it having existed is better than nothing at all.

So I just found Glorious Upheaval in a stack of books (not a bookshelf, in case it makes any difference) in the IC Memorial District.

where are these stacks of books? I can't seem to locate these in IC

I believe it was on one of the upper floors, and not in any of the alliance areas. No idea which building, though.

hmmm i couldn't find this stack no matter how long i looked...is there some sort of map anyone can provide that has the bookshelf locations within Imperial City?

WardogAce

@Mix Is there a map of the bookshelves to look through? I could only find two bookshelves in Imperial City (one in the elven district hideout and another in a nobles district building) Also how long is the respawn rate of these bookshelves?

@Mix

This is a case where the Lorebooks addon is misleading you. (I saw this yesterday too when I went to look for The Hidden Key and the Lorebooks location was strangely not even close, wrong zone and quest, I am wondering if ZoS did something with the ids or code or w/e that is messing up @Ayantir addon...)

I usually go and search the book on uesp wiki and read it. In this case it is clear from the text that this book is associated with Auridon!

Q:Final Blows

After Q: it is in Skywatch. Port to the wayshrine and go to the closest set of stairs (just W of the wayshrine) and it is laying on the ground at the top of the stairs....there is a Skywatch Celebrant standing on it atm on my screen. It seems they;ve shifted Egranor since he used to stand right here as well and is now shifted over one pillar (he is the quest turn in npc)


I will try to put together a map/screenshot guide for the IC bookshelves, maybe just following my 'route' through the city so you can all find the bookshelves and then make your own routes convenient to you.
