Thank you for the reply. Like I said i completed the sets in 14 zones and I already got the bonus for them but I barely hit level 9. The only zones I have left are Coldharbour and Eastmarch which I collected 7 and 9 books in respectively. Even If i completed the set for the remaining 2 I will not even be halfway to level 10. Please tell me if that's normal or should I send a ticket.

Thank you

It's completing the sets. You actually only need your starter zones 1-5, cold harbour, dungeon books and the rare ones in Cyro to top out. But you must complete the sets as there's bonus XP.

not true, you need all the ones you mentioned plus silver zone (based on my third toon that has only done cyrodil, dungeons, dlc's, and starter alliance lore books (have all) and is still 100 points shy of mage 10.

Are you doing the Mages Guild daily quest's?

These provide 10 Mage Guild rep points per turn in, so if your having trouble getting to level 10 via books this might be a way to get there. These quest's can be found in the Mages Guild in your alliances capital city, and send you out to retrieve a 'relic' in one of the public dungeons - you do not have to have done any of the Mages Guild quest line to do these dailies.

So you still have the 15th zone and Coldharbor left?

I am currently leveling a character and am almost to L8 in the Mages Guild and I have only collected books in 5 or 6 zones. So, while you have may have completed the collections you may still have missed some books as not all books in a zone are part of that zones collection. I have completed collections with a few books left unfound.

Are you on PC, do you have an Addon called Lore Books that shows you were the Lore Books are?

As I posted earlier, I have partially leveled a character through the Mages Guild, not all the way. However, I don't see any reason why it would be different for Pre-1T. The last two tiers do require significantly more books per level than earlier ones so that will explain why the bar moves slower.

I do remember having to clear most all the zones, including Cold Harbor, not Cyrodiil, to gain the 10th Level from Books alone. This is different than near game release when it took the 5 Alliance Zones, Coldharbor and one to two other zones to gain L10.

As for clearing collections, have you completed the ones like the Dwemer Books that span multiple zones. I don't know how many of those categories there are, but I think there are a few of them. Also there are around 12 to 15 books per zone, far more than the 10/10 it takes for the Zone Lore completion. So, just basing your progress on that alone means your leaving a few books per zone unread.
