Probably asked 1,000 times before, but can we get the lore books shared across toons, per account?

I've gotten all but about 150 lore books on my main, and it's nice, because I like the Mora's Whispers mythic for PvP. I'd like to carry that over to my other toon(s).

Note, I'm not asking for the Mage's Guild books. I think that *should* stay separate, as part of the per-toon quest line.

Is this another horse that's already been beaten to death many times over?

Well, yes it is another dead-horse topic, but...

Which lorebooks do you mean exactly? You're contradicting yourself.

You say you want the "lorebooks" shared because of Mora's Whispers, but then you say you're not asking for the Mages guild books. The Mora's Whispers mythic operates based on the number of books in the Shalidor's Library collection, which is the library you fill out to skill up the MG line. The Eidectic Memory, which is all other lorebooks, is irrelevant to both (but is the one most people ask to share due to the number of lorebooks in quest-locked locations).

Or are you suggesting that only the 4 specific books in the MG questline be individual, and the rest of Shalidor's Library be shared. In which case, how do you propose to level the Mages Guild skill?

If optional, fine. But I LOVE finding and reading ALL THE BOOKS on every girl (and I have a LOT of girls....)

Mora's Whispers Mythic scales with Shalidor library, which is Mages guild books. Having that be account wide would lead to alot of awkwardness, including potential rendition of mages guild skill line account wide and the option to buy the levels obsolete.

I would not mind Eidetic Memory to be account wide tho. Primarily because last time I looked at some missing entries, it was pointing me to unavailable quest areas for those. Having it acc wide would allow me to rerun specific quests on alternative characters to obtain them. I could see the argument against it tho from people enjoying their per character rp.

I've been confused by the overlap. I can see that I'm contradicting myself now. Thanks for the explanation.

Yes! I missed the book at the end of the quest in Apocrypha, and now it's locked in an instanced room I can't enter any more.

I agree with others that I would like eidetic memory shared but not Shalidor's library.

Eidetic shared would be great. Now that I have gotten through most on my main, I really want them to just fix the ToT clues so that I can learn them haha.

Please no, doing mages and psjic and skyshards and public dungeons makes me visit a lot of different zones and make me appreciate the original zone design. I know some of them can be bought from crown store but I prefer to relax with chill music and do them on alts at my leisure time.

No thanks, too many shared things across the account already, we don't need more. A lot of players with multiple characters want actually to play them through the game.

AMEN.
Yes in cases like Mora's we need to be account wide. Is really bad grind.
