How nature hates me/ doesn't want me to have "Ruminations of the Elder Scrolls" lorebook

Waffles_The_Great
so I was searching for lorebooks on the nonvet server when I ran into a tower where a lorebook was located to find a potted tree preventing me from getting said lorebook. I have tried to jump around the tree but alas I could not collect the lorebook.[img][/img]vzSbrX4.jpg WTF ZOS why is a tree inside a ruined tower. Not to mention the tree's leafs are green AND its growing apples. APPLES for god sakes how can a potted tree even grow like this its now even on the ground. its literally on top of a stair case in a tower. I mean this tower is in ruins but that doesn't matter to this tree because in the elder scrolls trees dont need dirt to grow in they just grow in towers lol

    It really is a lovely tree.
    If you chase two rabbits, you will lose them both.

    I use this trick with some skyshards...jump close to it and spam "A" (I'm on Xbox), you will still get it when you land on the ground. Works for skyshards so it probs works for lorebooks. Also, this is hilarious.

    I shouldn't need a speed buff though...

    You're in Cyrodiil. The pvp assault tree has a speed buff. That speed buff has a huge aoe. Ask another player to buff you.

    If you think about it, that one lore book is the only thing in ESO that one might call Metroidvania. I.E. you need to progress in the game and find a key item/learn a key ability to further progress.

    Kinda funny in a frustrating way, sorry about that.
    A solution tho, there are multiple copies of the books, generally in the same area. Don't know if you're on console ot not, but you should be able to google them and find an easier copy to get to :)

    See, personally I thought this was an awesome touch by a dev somewhere...

    What, bandits and bad guys can't have nice things?
    You can still get past it, just jump to the left a little. Getting back is another story.
    Just because you don't like the way something is doesn't necessarily make it wrong...

    Ok the, besides google, there is an addon called Lorebooks on esoui.com/addons.php

    It'll put all the books on your map for you.
