VVardenfell Eidetic Memory bugs: Chodala's Writings, Red Exile Instructions, and Magister's Writ

WardogAce

@Jerkel @ZOS_RichLambert

As part of the effort to have books available after quests ( and with the current Eidetic Memory thread filled with old content @Mix ) I wanted to start a fresh thread for currently bugged Lorebooks. I'm specifically talking about Chodala's Writings, Red Exile Instructions, and Magister's Writ. I was not able to read these during the quest for one reason or another. I was able to read Red Exile Instructions on a different character so I don't know if I somehow skipped reading the instructions...but I would still like a location to read this after the quest Divine Inquiries is done

Many of the quest books/writings do not trigger for eidetic memory until after the quest is complete, and some are in your inventory requiring you to open quest items and read them, even after you red them when picked up, to trigger it.
It definitely is not a perfect system and is quite funny that such a simple flag has been missed that they figured out back when they made Morrowind and modders patched it for them.
I remember quests that were incomplete because the quest stage flag number was set wrong and this seems to be the case with these where reading them once doesn't flag eidetic memory as well as the quest progress when it should do both.

Hmm okay that may have happened with Red Exile Instructions for me.......it would be great if this and the other books can still be avaliable after the quest is complete. Thoughts? @ZOS_RichLambert @ZOS_GinaBruno

I have been looking for some of these as well. I was able to get the Red Exile Instructions, but I never found the Chodola's Writings.

I did just complete the quest involving the Magister's Writ, however at no point in the quest was I given an option to read this writ, and it never unlocked in the Eidetic Memory.

It was in the inventory, but it wasn't readable. Yeahhh I did the red exile instructions on another toon, for some reason it didn't refoster with the first toon I did it on (which I care about more that's where I collect the lorebooks) I'm just hoping all these books can be available after their respective quests @ZOS_JessicaFolsom @ZOS_GinaBruno

I'm missing a lot of the books from the Telvanni questline because I had powered through it (since I already did it on PTS and I wanted Sun-in-Shadow to be at the end...) and I'm missing, in addition to Magister's Writ, pieces like Ode To E-Whatever you steal to give to Therana's Mouth, Magister O-Whatever's Journal you steal to give to the more-racist-than-the-rest-of-them magister.

Also missing the three failed incarnate scrolls.

Post-quest locations for these would be lovely.

Magister's Writ: Vvardenfell Vvolumes is fixed on PTS (3.1.1) and is readable in Magister Therana's chamber on the table.

I'll check for the rest on 3.1.2 PTS when the servers come back up (will take awhile because have to do all the quests first, but a bunch of ones added in 3.1.0 also have after-quest issues that i need to check in this build)

Sweet. Given that Torug at the Summit and Eyes of the Queen Only finally got fixed, I'm hoping that they're cracking down on the remaining missing ones and taking a more proactive approach going forward. (:

@Mix @rhapsodious yeah there were a bunch of books fixed! just gotta compile them and get a remainder of whats left

Checking and compiling in progress:)

I am updating the spreadsheet as I find/don't find them.
