Why did they have to make the 21 new readable book furnishings from Scrivener's Hall Bind On Pickup??? These are gonna be a nightmare to try to get all 21!!! Ugh....Please tell me this was an accident and will be tradable in the future.....pretty please, ZOS?

    I guess this is by accident.

    If you search in a Guild Trader for the Mora banner from SH vault it shows as a selectable (Tradable) item.

    So the books drop from the vault chests when you use keys? This thread is the first I’ve heard of it, and I love furnishings like this.

    I’ve only got a few keys so far, this dungeon is terrible for group finder if you can’t find a premade group. So many times I give up after an hour or two of fake healers and fake tanks leaving and waiting for replacements. The mechanics are too complicated for group finder pugs with no mics to coordinate. Even when you do have mics it’s a huge mess.

    When you do get a good group they don’t want to take the time to go through the klepto guys to even get keys, just speed running through the dungeon.

    Before you ask, yes I am in a guild, people say they will run this with me but never follow through. So I queue.

    EDIT: typo

    There is also a boulder and a cluster of rocks covered in green glowing stuff that drop from the chests, as well as the vault door. These furnishings are tradeable/sellable.

    That's the reason I'm hoping the BOP for the books and banners was a mistake....doesn't make any sense that some are tradable and others aren't.....anyone from ZOS have an answer for this before I waste all my ESO time trying to farm all 21 books? If it was a mistake, I can be patient until it's fixed....otherwise, I should probably start the endless grind now....:/

    For those who got the book furnishings, did you get them from small or large chests? So far I have only gotten the vault door from a large chest and no other furnishings after using 30+ keys.

    Hi. I can confirm that you can get the Door and furnishings from SMALL Chests.

    I have gotten 2 open books, The Journal of Emperor Leovic & In Dreams We Awaken & I got the Scrivener's Hall Vault Door from SMALL chests.

    Good to know the books can drop from small chests, but still hoping they remove the BOP status....50 keys and no books sounds awful....please change this ZOS! If all the furnishings were tradable, there would probably be more appeal to do this dung after the stickerbook fills!

    ive gotten 3 of the extra long mora banners, which were also bind on pickup

    as far as im aware, only the vault door is NOT bind on pickup

    i personally see it as a bug, but i have not seen anything to confirm it is or is not a bug

    Are the banners and vault doors tradable through guild traders on Xbox NA? I’ve tried to search them up and the option for most of them doesn’t even appear.

    the vault door is tradeable, but it is also very rare

    i have some extra long banners, but they were bind on pickup and not tradeable

    So, the consensus is,
    Books and banners are NOT tradable
    Vault door and green glowing rocks ARE tradable

    I’m 64 keys in and have gotten zero books, zero banners, one rock and one vault door.

    @ZOS_Kevin could we get some feedback on whether it’s intended that only the vault door and rocks are unbound?

    I’m up to 86 keys now. I have completed the full stickerbook (apart from monster set shoulders).

    Still 1 door, 1 rock, 0 books, 0 banners.

    Was the drop rate determined by the same person who came up with the water node lead for the Harpooner’s kilt? This is ridiculous.

    101 keys. 0 books, 0 banners. Wanted to use them for a house for my new arcanist but I give up. I guess the 101 stands for “how to make players hate a dungeon”. It was my main reason to get this DLC and I honestly wish I could get a refund.

    @ZOS_Kevin - please consider making these furnishings unbound.

    for your key use, is it mostly small or large keys?

    i think the large keys have a higher chance of dropping the furnishings

    Probably about 40 large and 60 small keys.

    I'm completely confused. What keys? What chests?

    I'm completely confused. What keys? What chests?

    in scriveners hall dungeon, if you kill the scamp minibosses (they are called cartoklepts and are in side areas in the deadlands realm and spiral skein realm, 1 per realm), they drop a key (small for normal, large for vet)

    these can be used to open chests inside of the vault (after you kill the first mob in the dungeon, you hang right and there is a path to the vault)

    there are 20 small and 20 large chests in the dungeon instance, and if you open all 20 of either large or small, it spawns an additional scamp miniboss (cartoklept queen) which if its your first time killing it, drops a special map that makes you go to the rift (like a normal treasure map) and upon digging it up you get a memento unlock which when used in the deadlands and spiral skein sections of the scrivener dungeon reveal where the cartoklept is on that section (without guessing which side path its down)

    Thanks for the explanation. I've only run this dungeon once and didn't know anything about this.

    Damn! That makes me want to quit trying, as well! I've gotten 1 book from 10 large keys and nothing from 21 small keys, so I guess I should be thankful for 1 of the 21 different books!

    Those of you who got furnishing books, are they all unique or did you get duplicates? Since they are bound, getting duplicates would seem to me to reinforce that it is a bug.

    They are bound, you do get duplicates, but I have not yet.
