Furnishing books from IA and how they are obtained

katanagirl1 · May 14

First some background, I am working on the Eidetic Memory library to make sure I have read those books so I can get the book furnishings from the treasure map chests. So I understand this is probably a different issue.

Now for the IA books, I have one toon that has read them all, unfortunately it is not my main toon. I understand you can buy books you have read from one of the filers there. So I could buy them with the toon that has read them and then place them in a house and my main could read them. Sounds like a good plan.

However, I have never bought any of the IA books from the IA filer, yet a have 2-3 of them in one of my houses. Where did I get these? Did they drop in IA? Why is it that I have read them all but only got a couple furnishings? Is it also possible to get them from treasure map chests like the others?

Any insight would be most helpful.

What are the three books? There are a number of books that can drop in the Infinite Archive that are found within the index or wings of the Archive, including one (Fynboar the Resurrected) that you can access after completing a sidequest.

Also, many of the books that can be found at set locations in the world can also be found on bookshelves in the IA Index or elswhere.

most of the books that you can read in the archive, also drop in the archive

i have like 6 different books that i have just stacks of from continuously getting them in the archive (some of my characters i even stopped reading those to prevent getting the drops since i cant sell them)

They drop in the archive, if you have read them

I have gotten several from the Marauders. I almost deleted one, thinking it was a treasure.

One of them is Obscure Killers of the North and the other is Materials for Novice Necromancers. I can’t find another one right now.

I wish these books and other Eidetic Memory books were AWA. I don’t run the toon that read all of them. I am now taking my arcanist through there but haven’t seen any books in a long time.

they drop from the same sources as leads/furnishing plans

so marauders, scamps, bonus portals, and tho'at are all possible sources

You can get book furnishings from treasure chest once you get a book in IA? What type of furnishing are they? Books or?

And I only got 3 or 4 drops despite running IA daily (and one of those, I already bought from the filer), and none since U41. I got plenty of the new furnishing plans, though! It's like RNG knows what I want and gives me the opposite, just out of spite.

I don’t get many chances to get loot from these running solo. I finally talked the hubby into running it with me yesterday but I go no leads, no plans, no nothing.

All the puzzles had reset to level 1, maybe because he was there? I am at level 3 or 4 for most of them.

I guess I will have to buy the books, but I am saving the fortunes for leads. I just want them so my main can read them.

Thanks for all the responses, guys.

the bonus portals will be the lowest level of whoever is participating

so if you have level 4 and your husband never been in there before, you would be getting level 1 bonus portals

actually kind of nice cause it makes it super easy then lol

another option as well is you could always visit someones house who has the books placed and read them there

i would offer help but im on PC not console lol

Yeah I was hoping to find somewhere to read them, but no one on PS NA has said they have a library. I am accumulating all the new books in one of my houses but don’t have a lot of them yet.

I have probably 80 of the IA books in my library house but sadly I'm on PC NA.
