Mages Guild Quests

Ohhgrizyyy · September 2016

I'm currently lvl 9.5 in Mages guild and have 2 more zone lore collections. Coldharbour and Reapers March. (I've been lazy and literally just been grabbing the zone specific lorebooks) Question #1 Does doing the mages quests give you experience towards your mages guild and if it does would that and 2 more zones lore collections be enough to get me to Rank 10? Question #2 What option is it at the end of the mages guild quest line that gives you 2 skill points?

#1) No XP for quests, but there will be a daily that gives XP in One Tamriel. I think you still have to go into silver or gold zones to hit rank 10.

#2) The one that makes Uncle Sheo the happiest.

How many more collections or books would I need roughly to reach rank 10 then? I have 0/10 for Cold harbor and Reapers March. 9/10 for divines and deities I'm pretty sure. Would completing those 3 give me rank 10?

I believe there are mages lore books in the quest chain but not all that many and no the quests do not give any experience towards your rank sadly. On console this lore book grind in a pain subsequently I have only done this on one toon.

With one tamerial comes the inclusion of daily mages guild quests that do grant experience towards your rank, though I am not sure just how much.

Oops question 2; to get skill points take the book and let mages guild lady(memory of her name currently eludes me) go with uncle sheo.

I could be wrong on this, but I think you can collect enough books to get to rank 10 just in your home alliance zones, Coldharbour, and Cyrodiil. It's not something I've ever tried, though, as searching for lorebooks in Cyrodiil doesn't seem like an efficient way to do things. I guess with some lorebooks now being in DLC zones as well, it may be easier now to get to rank 10 pre-level 50. And of course, come October 5 (for PC anyway) you'll be able to easily go to any zone at any level to grab lorebooks, and there's the new Mages Guild daily that you mention to level the skill line as well.

I also kind of feel like it makes the "sacrifice" the happiest. I mean, she never seemed happy before, but with the butterflies...

The one time that I tried this was about a year ago, I got every book from the AD zones, Coldharbour, Cyrodiil and almost all of the normal dungeons. I was very close to rank 10 but I'm not sure if finding the last couple of dungeon books would have put me over the top or not.

Look at the Progress Bar for the Mages Guild. You get 5 points for each book you read, and 20 points (IIRC) for completing a zone's collection (which may not be all the Purple/Blue Lore Books in a Zone)

Anyway, if you see your 70 points from the top, then you need 14 more books, less any bonus you get as above, to max out the MG
