    Well UESP site says this "This quest is only available during the Pan-Elsweyr Celebration Event. To start this quest, you will need to accept it via the Crown Store or find a note entitled An Invitation to Elsweyr at one of the following Event Exchanges:"

    but actually at the Impresario, there's only the Elsweyr Defence Force Summons that i can see

    Yeah, I look for it everywhere and can't find it. It may be because the event changed names although it's the same event, but regardless it should be made available. I swear to god this ******* game, why put something in a collection if you don't make the items needed available?

    Yes, it'll be available during the event at the impresario

    @ZOS_Kevin

    “An Invitation to Elsweyr” isn’t at the Impresario now that the event started (there is one called “Elsweyr Defense Force Summons”)

    Is that a bug?

    I sent a ticket about it and the answer was "Thank you for contacting The Elder Scrolls Online Team. My name is ******, and I'm happy to assist you today!

    An Invitation to Elsweyr
    An event flyer requesting adventurers to visit Elsweyr
    It can be found during Pan-Elsweyr Celebration Event" 🙄


    Anyway, I answered saying that the event was rebranded and it is the current Season of the Dragon and it should be available now,but it isn't. If I get another answer I'll tell you guys

    Hi,

    You crossed that book off your list. Did you get it from the quest, or is there another way?

    Greetings, Welanduz

    Hey !

    Sorry for the delay, didn't check this threat for a while

    Yes I did, was checking very carefully those books during progressing in quest

    For some reason those 2 books are marked "unread" in my library

    Don't know what happened ...

    Neither is the "Job Offer" in Senchal, or any of these:

    Indrik diagram (not sure how to call it, it's the one with a picture of indrik evolution, not the textual one)
    Slayer's Note (the Skyrim/Reach event)
    Tomb of Ja'darri (one of the Elsweyr prologue quests)

    I am sure I saw at least two more books which don't have eidetic memory records, but did not note them down.

    Anyone know how to actually read this? I've ran away, left the dungeon and reentered, completely exited the game, relaunched it and ran back to the location and I still cannot read it. The interaction prompt is simply not showing up.

    Notes and Memos: [Alik'r Desert] Note to Throne Keeper Farvad

    Also struggling to find "Note to Throne Keeper Farvad". UESP says it is located in Tu'whacca's Throne, Alik'r Desert. Did you find it in the end?

    I completed the related quest "Tu'whacca's Breath" ages ago, but now the door to Tu'whacca's Sanctum is closed off post-quest. Is it inside Tu'whacca's Sanctum or is is around outside somewhere? I am on Xbox, so cannot use an addon to find the location.

    Thank you :-)

    I recently went through a bunch of zones getting lorebooks on my main character and I was missing one in that area. (I also completed this quest many years ago.) I was able to find it outside, but I cannot confirm the name of the book though I suspect it was the same.

    Getting near to completing all books on my main but now it seems there are some that are hard or impossible to get. Either past quest or simply bugged. Any ideas on the below ?

    Character has all quests completed (except werewolf & vampire), and has max rapport with companions and their quests completed.

    Archipelago Books and Almanacs
    Druid Food of Vastyr <-- Galen Bookshelves ?
    Glimmertarn - A Stonelore Community <-- Galen Bookshelves ?
    Investigator Vale and the Darkmasts <-- Galen Bookshelves ?
    The Druid Monoliths <-- Galen Bookshelves ?
    The Tempest and the Sunflower <-- Galen Bookshelves ?

    Notes and Memos
    A Plea for the Elder Scrolls <-- Cyrodill red temple, just need the gate to be open once

    Rituals and Revelations
    Rite of the Scion <-- vampire quest, but does it work now ?

    Systres Tomes and Scrolls
    Izbadd's Letter
    Letter from Aurelia Jourvel
    Note to Cynric
    Ode to the Nose of a Woman

    The Devoted and the Deranged
    Introduction to Aedric Studies
    The Undaunted Need You!

    The Impressario's Catalogue
    A Quest of Sand, Snow and Blood <-- Year1 Celebration ?
    An invitation to Elsweyr <-- thought this would be available during the jan 2023 elsweyr event ?
    Bounties of Blackwood <-- Blackwood community event from last year, is this available afterwards somewhere ?
    By Command of the Ascendant Order <- Heroes of High Isle event from last year, is this available afterwards somewhere ?
    Tamriel's Finest Wines <-- Jester Festival ?

    The Reach Reader
    Journal of Dionus Trutor <-- know the location but the book is not there, completed the quest already, for which you need the book. Any post quest locations ?

    Tomes of Tributes
    4 clues did not register on my main, either due to being found on other char or simply not registering. Would be nice to be able to read the clues on the collected cards

    Wrothgar Writings
    A Royal Messenger's Fate <-- fairly sure I had this one before but gone now. Any new location ?
  • birdmann1230
    @freewheeler
    I think most of the Archipelago ones are bookshelves. Intro to Aedric studies is Imperial City bookshelves. Those Systres ones are currently unavailable post quest, as is Royal Messengers Fate (this is a bug from a recent patch). Rite of the Scion is still missing. The Undaunted Need You is available during the undaunted event.

    There is something wrong with addon, had an other book with the same problem but found it in Imperial City bookshelves. Your book will be also found in Imperial City bookshelves.

    Does anyone know where the below books are under the Tales of Tamriel Eidetic Memory collection?
    The Year 2920, vol. 3
    The Year 2920, vol. 19

    UESP suggests Bookshelves in Auridon, Glenumbra, and Stonefalls for vol. 3, but does anyone know of a more specific location?
    There is also no location at all for vol. 19 listed, does anyone have any ideas?

    The Elder Scrolls Fandom Wiki says that Volume 3 can potentially be found in Vulkhel Guard.

    Found vol. 3 in a bookshelf in the Vulkhel Guard Mages Guild, Auridon. Thank you :-)

    Lore books that I am missing

    Pibiha's Note - Don't know how I missed it lying right next to her body, but I didn't see it when I did the quest.
    Post quest, her sister Tufeh while at the Plaza of the Portals, says she has the note, but it is not out where I can read it.

    Izbadd's Letter - Can't interact with it on the bench outside the Anchor's Point Inn in Evermore

    Letter from Aurelia Jouvel - I missed when leveling up Miri, and cant get it post quest.

    Ode to the Nose of a Woman - I missed when leveling up Miri, and cant get it post quest.

    An Invitation to Elsweyr - Not at any of the Impresario event merchants, I checked them all, during the Season of the dragon event.

    By command of the Ascendant Order - Checked the location where this one is supposed to be. It is not there and I specifically
    remember having to try a couple times to jump onto the floating platform to get a lore book when I originally went to that
    area,. I had another friend, that has not done any of those zone quests go and look and it is not there for us.

    Royal Messenger's Fate - had this one until the update where it got pulled from people's collected lore library.

    I've been tracking what books I find at which bookshelves in Imperial City to see when the reset happens (seems 24hrs so nothing new there probably). But I also noticed there seems to be a rotation where if one book spawns at a certain location, all the other ones will also be the same as the last time that book spawned in that location.

    So it seems like it's rotating books through fixed lists of which one spawns where. Has anyone else noticed this and if so are there lists available as to which books can be in which specific bookshelf ?

    Is this true for other zones as well ?

    After a lot of chasing bookshelves I've narrowed my missing books down to 17. Most of which are either bugged (vampire, clues, companion, wrothgar) or event related. However the below two I'm hoping someone here would be able to help with :

    Systres Tomes and Scrolls
    Izbadd's Letter <-- know the post quest location in Bangkorai/Evermore on a bench near the inn but can’t pick it up. Any suggestions ?

    The Reach Reader
    Journal of Dionus Trutor <-- know the location but the book is not there, completed the quest already, for which you need the book. Any ideas ?

    Of course many of us are hoping ZoS will fix the bugged ones the coming patch(es) this year, without introducing new bugged ones.
