Summerset Eidetic Memory Books Unavailable

Carbonised · June 2018

The following books in Summerset are unavailable after their quest:

- Night Runner Captain's Journal, unavailable after the quest has been done
- The Scaled Elves in Sea Keep, the area with the book is locked off after the quest in Sea Keep
- Writ of Valid Credentials from the quest Culture Clash, unavailable once you turn in the quest

- Pack of Archon's Grove - no one can even find this book at all

Please make the above 3 books available also after having done their quests, for those who like to complete Eidetic Memory section

These 4 books are still unavailable. Please take the effort to make them available with the next DLC, Wolfhunter.
It's just a small matter of leaving the books available somewhere after their quests have been done. And for "The Scaled Elves", you need to make the keep fully accessible even when having done the quest, or place to book somewhere else, as of right now, the book is in the area of the keep that is locked off after doing the quest.

I think there are more than these 4 bugged books you listed. Some don't exist, some others can't be read after finishing assigned quests. Gonna look in my journal after I'll get back home.

Also would be nice if ZOS could fix other bugged eidetic memory lorebooks, not only from Summerset, but much older.

I know there are more. These are just the 4 I am missing myself, and can confirm 100 % are bugged.

Like I write, the 3 first ones do exist, but are unavailable after their quests, and the Night Runner journal is never available, if you pick one quest dialogue over another (which is really terrible design).
Pack of Archon's Grove I don't think anyone has confirmed finding, so it's the only "unavailable" one.

Once the PTS goes up with Wolfhunter, I'll see if any of the books have been fixed, if not, I'm going to make a post on the PTS forum as well, and we can compile a list of all the bugged books.

Update - Found Scaled elves. I thought that I would never be able to get this. and from my experience with them fixing book bugs. They always shove them in somewhere where the addon for lorebooks never had them. So I though I would go and check the camp. Mind you this is a month or so after I have finished the mission here. And to my knowledge this was only just patched in recently.

i had exactly the same problem just now. Book was showing as inside the keep, kept circling between floors. But i found it outside on the table like in your image.

they did not fix it because it's too unimportant, and they have a habit of bug late fixing.
But i think actually here it's an addon problem, it's common for books to spawn outside in open world location after a quest is done, i saw this in many other quests. However the addon showed the position correctly in those cases, so i still think it's an addon bug.
