Looking for a Slave's Diary

spainchaudub17_ESO · July 2015

I know this book is in an instance, as I have it on several of my alts, but I want to get it on my main character. I notice that some book, Like Proper Torture Techniques Vol. 13, are taken out of the original instance, and placed where your character can find them later. Has anyone seen a Slave's Diary outside the instance?

You say you know that it's in "an instance", but you didn't even say what instance.

Anyway, esohead http://www.esohead.com/books/417-slaves-diary lists it as only found in a VERY specific location in "Castle of the Worm" (which it pinpoints on that map in the link), and no other site I can find lists it. Esohead's reliable, so I'd say it's not found outside that instance.

Well you can look up Proper Torture Techniques Vol. 13 at the same site and book collection. You will see that it is listed only in the instance Halls of Torment, but that is wrong. If you have finished the instance it will also be located outside the Harborage. The is true with other quests and instances. For example, try to find the book Gold Coast Missive at the site. It says it does not know the location. That missive is a quest item you turn over to an NPC. If you forget to read it before you turn it over, it is not listed in you Eidetic Memory. However, after the quest is done the missive and two others show up in the grass, in front of Bandaari Outpost. So I have just given you two examples where this web site is not reliable. I just figured out these two examples this morning this morning, so I suspect I will find many more as I search for these book.

I suspect Zenimax forgot to place Slave's Diary outside the Harborage when the instance is complete, but I can't be sure. So I ask, but I don't expect all these websites to be perfect.

I didn't say which instance because the only the people who have completed the instance would have the opportunity to find the book outside the instance, that is how it works.

I found the book hidden just outside the Harborage. It was behind a column (the Harborage in Stonefalls). Unfortuantely the book is bugged and despawns when I try to read it.
