I saw nothing about fixing these in the PTS notes.
While I understand this is not a top issue for you, fixing these books to make them collectible for players is a very small issue that should take only a few minutes to do, and I hope you find the time and will to do it with this update.
Currently, I can confirm that these ones are not obtainable:
- Night Runner Captain's Journal, unavailable after the quest has been done (also not obtainable at all if you pick one dialogue option in the quest)
- The Scaled Elves in Sea Keep, the area with the book is locked off after the quest in Sea Keep
- Writ of Valid Credentials from the quest Culture Clash, unavailable once you turn in the quest
- Pack of Archon's Grove - no one can even find this book at all?
There are certainly others as well, but these are the 4 that I lack, and can confirm are bugged. Feel free to add others to the list, so we can get a masterlist of these.
Night Runner Captain's Journal should be available after the quest in the public dungeon - or made available if you pick the dialogue option where you miss the book
The area with the Scaled Elves book in Sea Keep should be unlocked even when having done the quest. Or the book should be moved to the accessible part of the keep before or after the quest is done
Writ of Valid Credentials, and the other 2 quest books for that quest, should be made available after the quest in the Kinlady's castle, where you finish the quest
Pack of Archon's Grove - no one has found this book. Perhaps it's not meant to be found?
