    As of last night the LoreBooks addon had some things in significantly wrong positions on the map. One in Riften area in particular since I had already collected all the ones before that, addon showed it on the little island and it was south of that across the water. It was also missing a book I found over by the hotsprings which wasn't part of The Rift collection.

    It is a helpful addon, got a couple books from Rift and Coldharbour with it, but its not perfect yet.

    "Wayshrines of Tamriel"
    I think I saw this one in Deshaan somewhere

    "On the Nature of Coldharbour"
    Found this one during a warrior guild quest (quest only area), in Deshaan as well I believe

    This is - both - highly improbable.. we searched Deshaan up and down, but still.. could you remember more specifically? Are you sure you actually have those two tomes in your Library?

    I will make a screenshot when the server come back online. I only picked up lore books in Stonefalls, Deshaan and Shadowfen and the capital city of East Marshes in the mage guild so far. Bal Foyen and Bleak Rock had no lore books as far as I can tell.

    Please do so - any help is appreciated. We have been searching for those missing tomes for days already, including Cyrodiil.

    some can only be obtained in quest areas that you can not return to. They are usually very easy to find in those cases but still. i'd like to see them elsewhere too

    not sure if this is true for lore books, but for normal books/note/letters it is. Thats why I am going to reroll once the Eidetic Memory if fixed (see http://forums.elderscrollsonline.com/discussion/81050/eidetic-memory-bugged-to-uselessness-gamebreaking-possible-spoilers)
    Until the eidetic memory is fixed I basically lost all interest in playing as a completionist and lore fan

    That is correct but only partially. For example the book "Whithering.. " can be found in one of the Fighters Guild quest dugeons, but it can also be found (very hidden) in Coldharbour. In theory ALL extra lore (non local) books should be acquirable in the specific pact territories (your six starting maps) but this is probably a wrong assumption. The Lore books listed above - the tough cases - cannot be found this way.

    I wouldnt be suprised if some of the lore books are bugged, too. I came across bugged non lore books several times which either spawned under the floor (only the glow was seeable), where not interactable or nothing happened on interacting with them. Maybe they forgot to place some of the lorebooks in the world or are stuck inside objects.

    We are searching in a group and from our vast experience I cannot say this ever happened to us so far. Maybe we just got lucky. The sad thing is the neccessity to visit Cyrodiil to acquire a lot of missing "other" lore tomes. Some are in contested and/or enemy areas and players can change campaigns only so many times a day :) Trying to explain our erudite intentions to angry zergs is quite a daunting task..

    They will just add new books then. The currently listed 297 books are supposed to be ingame already.

    The Lore Tome collection is certainly complete now. The only problem is where to find them all...

    If that happens to any of you, just relog and they should be corrected. I have had the book under the floor many times.

    supposed to be = /= are. I don't know anyone with them. I've asked zone and all my guilds some of which have 500 people. If I had to guess some of them will be in craglorn. Remember craglorn was expected to be in on release. it is perfectly reasonable to assume they might be there. I doubt they would make a bunch of new ones for craglorn.

    It didnt fix it for the books/notes in question. Tried relogging, abandoning the quest and restarting, waiting for the next server restart...

    I wouldnt be suprised if Craglorn gets new books. The current Tamriel is very big already. Its easy to miss a handful out (7!) of the 297 books.

    Ok the screenshots are in German, but I think you can understand it well enough...
    I am pretty sure I found the cold haven one during a warrior guild mission, instanced solo quest only area, the other is probably from deshaan, too.
    Sadly I also did not have the other 5 books in question.

    The OP is now posting in this thread and stopped updating this one. It seems like she still hasn't found your two books though.

    South south east of fort warden about half way through to fort glademist in cyrodiil fragmantae abyssum hermaeus morus can be found. At a broken down house. The small building can be seen on the map.

    With regard to the Ebony is located in cyrodiil between fort glademist and the elder scroll of alma ruma in a tower. Building noticeable on the map the middle of the three buildings on the map.

    The one I found during Deshaan FG quest was Withering of Delodiil I think its called, and it was gold, not blue. Theres a tunnel in the ruin you can take two routes in to get to the same room. The outer, longer way had it.
