    Just saw the post about lack of communication. This is amazing, it's very nice seeing the promised investigation about it.

    So, for everyone's awareness.
    • Elegy of Forgotten Fatelines Inside Mournful Catacomb (dungeon)
    • Gilded B'Kyfxi's Research Inside Timeless Wallow (dungeon)
    • Slumbering Danger: Who are the Opulent? Inside Opulent Ordeal (trial)

    These seem to be the only ones in the dungeon/trial. Everything is outside and can be gotten without much effort.

    As an aside, can anyone help UESP and myself narrow down the locations of:
    • Curator Dossier
    • Esetev's Report on the Parch
    • Relics of the Night Market: the Egg of Arac
  • Tobyja

    Not that I am aware. It's a bookshelf book and sometimes they can be very annoying to get. Galen & IC are particularly annoying for them. Just keep farming shelves every 24 hours.

    On the Nature of Oblivion is a Fargrave/Deadlands bookshelves book.
    No bug, it just need patience with all the "masked" interactible bookshelves, small piles and levitating book walls there. Saw it today in Fargrave (PC EU), south of the wayshrine near Sulazz (in a "normal" bookshelf). Good luck!

    Just to say:

    This thread is coming up on its 1st birthday, and we have seen ZOS start to address the issue. U50 has a whole heap of fixes, and U51 adds a few more including a book not actually found in-game at present, with the remaining books acknowledged by ZOS as under investigation.

    NGL, this thread has taken up a whole heap of my time given the strict criteria I placed upon myself for adding to the list, and the myriads of checks I do on each book, including a couple of times starting a new character to check on a pre-quest/post-quest condition. I wanted the list to be as accurate as possible for what was not obtainable in Eidetic Memory.

    BUT that would have all been for nothing had you peeps not provided me with information on which books might be bugged. My initial list started at around 8 and grew to more than 60. Hopefully by the time the thread's 2nd birthday comes around I'll be in a place to close it as there will be no more bugged books.

    Thank you to you all, and to ZOS. Happy reading!

    Just to say, although they said this one has been already fixed on live, it is not in its original position on "live", I am hoping for it to be actually fixed with today's update.

    I'm with you. And just to say, because they said "it was sneakily fixed" and fixed books were placed in different places in the past, i searched the whole map now for a while without success. Of course that doesn't mean much and possibly i just have overseen it. Hope is still alive.
