@Holger30

Lord Vivec's Questions are in the tomb where you did the quest in the room where you summon the ancestor on one of the altar things.

The spreadsheet says Barilzar's Hirelings can be found in his tower after quest but it's not there. You can't access the second half of the tower though as the option to open the door is greyed out. You can only enter the room with the dwarven crystal machine.

I am also unable to locate Magister Otheri's Research Journal (after the quest) in the building he appears during the quest.

@destroyer9000 is looking for these books (copied from other thread)

Here is the list of books:
1. In Auridon book "The Warrior's Blade". I do not remember the quest, but it is located in dungeon in Torrinaan ruin. And i have made quest in it and dungeon is locked.
2. In Estmarsh note "Snowmead's Missive" in quest "Labore dispute" - it dissapears after i did quest. And letter "Orders to Halskar" in quest "Blindsided" - it is in the building, i can't get in.
3. In Gold Coast note "Sweetrole recipients" in quest "The Sweetrole Killer" (I choose to kill her and do not get the note)
4. In Alikr's Desert note "KIDNAPPING!" I can't find it, but it should be in Sentinnel =(
5. In Shadowfen note "Eyes of the Queen only" quest in Stormhold. Note in dungeon i can't get in.
6. In Deshaan in location "Obsidian Gorge" there are two letters "House Hlaalu Merchant Camp" and "Valyia's Cargo Manifest" - they were in quest, but now i can't find them.

and my reply (so I can edit as I look for these or you all can help if you know off-hand where to find!)

• The Warrior's Blade: There are lorebooks at Torinaan after the quest that are placed around the area. Not all are interactable on Live, but seem to be fixed on the PTS. I will check on this specific one.
• Snowmead's Missive: the PTS 3.2.0 notes say this is fixed but I can't find it on the PTS yet...
• Orders to Halskar in quest "Blindsided" I haven't seen this one reported before
• Sweetroll recipients: haven't seen this one reported
• KIDNAPPING!: the PTS 3.2.0 notes say this is fixed but I can't find it on the PTS yet...
• Eyes of the Queen Only: the "dungeon" is actually the Fighter's guild hall and the letter is on the table to the left after you go down the stairs
• House Hlaalu Merchant Camp: haven't seen this one reported before
• Valyia's Cargo Manifest: this is fixed on the 3.2.0 PTS, on Live it is currently phased out once you complete the quest

BUGGED BOOKS 3.2.1 PTS

• Invitation to Morrowind: my account only received this once, and it could not be banked...

EDIT #2: The lorebook "Invitation to Morrowind" is not the same as "Morrowind Needs You". The following remarks apply to the latter document:

That message from the ZOS marketing department doesn't belong in the Eidetic Library, but it is easy to find in the game. Just look for a Lorebooks pin for it at any seaport docks, or near any "navigator" wagon. The "document" is on a bulletin board at the location. But it can be impossible to get an Interactive Prompt for it, because the player gets the prompt to speak with "Captain Jansen" nearby instead. Still, two of my characters obtained the Interactive Prompt for the Invitation document on inland bulletin boards such as the one at Rawlk'ha (Reaper's March), thus were able to read it.

• Shipyard Workers, Take Warning!: Handbills, Posters and Decrees: 3.2.0 PTS notes say fixed but cannot locate

If I recall correctly, at least one of my characters has read that document, which is on a post at the shipyard near Sentinel (Ali'kir Desert). However, if I recall correctly, there is a similar warning -- whether with exactly the same title -- in the vicinity of the Riften docks (The Rift), and another in the vicinity of the Wayrest docks (Stormhaven). Each one is acknowledged by the software as a different lore-book.

• Apostle Style: Motifs: resets to 0/14 upon zoning or logging
• Dreadhorn Style: Motifs: resets to 0/14 upon zoning or logging
• Ebonshadow Style: Motifs: resets to 0/14 upon zoning or logging

Are the above lore-books listed as such in the Eidetic Library? None of my characters has ever found any of those three. They have found all Style lore-books for each of the ten player-races in the game, including Imperial Style. There are also Style lore-books for the Dwemer, Ancient Elf, Barbaric, Primal, and Daedric styles, respectively. All of the other Styles are ordinarily available only as a set of 14 "motifs". However, I've also found two or three Style lore-books for such styles although I cannot recall which they were. The Ebony Style lore-book, or its respective 14 motifs, must be purchased with vouchers from Rolis Hlaalu, to whom completed Master Crafting Writs are submitted in exchange for Master Writ vouchers.

Are the following books still bugged for those who need them? If no one replies needing these books I will remove them from our master list.

• Conversion Status - read during quest
• Firuth's Writ of Endorsement
• Irgnar's Journal - read during quest
• Letter from a Prison Guard
• Letter from the Governor - read during quest
• No Reason to Worry
• Red Exile Instructions - read during quest

Personally, I don't recognize any of the lore-books listed above by name. Perhaps we need to include location in referring to them?

Mix wrote: »

• Gamwyn's Journal - read during quest
• Healing Herbs of Northwest Tamriel
• Invitation to Morrowind

If I recall correctly, currently at least one of my four characters has read one or more of those three lore-books.

Mix wrote: »

This is an on-going effort to make certain that all books listed in the Eidetic Memory are accessible to all characters, so that 100% completion of the Eidetic Memory may be obtained (between DLCs and Chapters of course!)

Perfectionist much? Granted, I know that I am one, a trait passed-on by my father. It is why my sister is an accountant.

Mix wrote: »

There are a few problems that arise that cause books to become inaccessible:
1. They exist inside an area only accessible while the character has the quest. Reading these is not a requirement on the quest.
2. They are a quest item, they may start the quest and/or be read during the quest, but after the quest they have no location in the world. Some of these MUST be read in the quest inventory while on the quest in order to register.
3. Phasing. Some areas in the world change as the character progresses the story in the area and some books are only seen before the story is done.
4. Alliance restricted (this applies to a very few books that only exist within the alliance bases in Cyrodiil)
5. Other

Should I suppose that "Other" includes numerous lore-books listed in the Eidetic Library, and for which a pin is shown on the map by the Lorebooks add-on, but, as far as I can determine, simply do not exist at all?

Players Helping Players: Found Books!

• Mauloch, Orc-Father: Lore and Culture: inside Abamath Ruins, Malabal Tor; also found on IC bookshelves

Currently, that lore-book is inside the ruins. But your character cannot enter the Abamath Ruins after completing the quest. The lore-book does not appear anywhere near the entrance/exit after the quest is completed.

Happy Book Hunting All!

Thank-you for maintaining the search list and posting the information to this discussion.

EDIT #1: to correct grammar and to clarify obtaining the Ebony crafting style.

....
Eyes of the Queen Only - found it, but i search it about 3-4 month ago and it is was not there, or maybe i'm wrong.
Other can't find. I'll wait for patch and cheсk.
Thanks a lot!

You're not wrong. "Eyes of the Queen Only" was never available in Stormhaven (Shadowfen) regardless of any quest, until after the Horns of the Reach patch, if I recall correctly. Its previous location was inside of a wall, now it is on a table next to the wall. now it is apparently on a table in front of the local commander of the guard in the Fighters Guild. Frankly, I didn't see the document there, but an Interactive Prompt was shown when my character stopped moving while I decided where to move the character next.

Thank you for the continued reports. We wanted to take the time to respond to some of the latest replies on this thread.

Thanks @Jekerl !

Let's go on live server to get "Letter to Baloth Bloodtusk” in the designated area !

@Ayantir Any report from your addon where that book can be ? No One accidentally found the "very bizarre and unintuitive spot" ?

Has anyone found the copy of KIDNAPPING! Jekerl listed? 'Cause I haven't been able to. There are tables with books on them, but they're apparently only readable to the cat-people who live there. And the Redguards being taunted. Not to those of us who have to rely on a book being clickable.

Please correct me if I'm wrong. Maybe I'm looking in the wrong place. Or selectively blind.

Invitation to Morrowind I cant find.
At the boards I onl ycan find the book "Morrowind needs you!"

If you read my original reply, then please disregard those remarks.

Any player character can find "Morrowind Needs You" on various and sundry bulletin boards, at least one in every zone. Getting an Interactive Prompt for one is impossible at many sites where the software displays only an Interactive Prompt for Captain Jansen instead. But, if you can put the reticule (crosshairs) on the bulletin board from behind it -- or sometimes on it from the front -- the software should display the I.P. so that your character can read it.

EDIT (for clarity): as far as I know, "Invitation to Morrowind" was attached to an e-mail message from ZOS. The player could read the attachment, of course, but the only way for a character to read it was to transfer it to the bags of a character that accessed the e-mail UI while "Invitation to Morrowind" was present. So only one character received it as an item which they could subsequently read. However, reading the message supposedly applied "account wide", so that if one player character reads it, then its entry in the Eidetic Library should show it as read for each and every existing character on that account at the time.

Personally, I have not confirmed whether that is the case, and I suspect that it isn't. Regardless, only one of my characters has had it in his bags where he could read it and obtain credit for doing so. The detached document is in the Miscellaneous category, not a Quest Item, on the Inventory UI.

Healing Herbs of Northwest Tamriel

Any news on this? Only book I am missing from vanilla pve zones.

If I recall correctly, "Healing Herbs of Northwest Tamriel" now appears in the same location that it does during the quest after the quest is completed. It doesn't appear there until the player's character obtains the quest, but it remains if the character did not find and read it during the quest. (I doubt that any other player characters will be able to see it unless either they have the quest or have completed the quest.) The location is slightly north of east from the tower where the military commander offers the quest.

Your claim that this is the only book missing from vanilla PVE zones is unbelievable. For example, how did you read the six or so Eidetic Library lore-books that are supposedly available during the Marbruk (Greenshade) quest "The Artisan"?? In my experience, they are not available during the quest, and are in an inaccessible location before, during, and afterward. Perhaps your character did the quest before ZOS made them all inacessible, by putting them into a room in the bank which has a locked door made of bars. It cannot be opened. No one can read them.

I dont care what you believe If ZOS have decided to fix Healing herbs of Tamriel , doesnt that prove that there was a problem? Seems they know more than you. I am using the lorebook addon as my guide to books not found, and the ONLY book I am missing from the basic Pve zones that shows up as missing on my first character is the one I mentioned, and ZOS have fixed it. I read this book for the quest 2 1/2 years ago, approx, and it is not showing in eidetic mem, and is still showing as unread by the addon. If you would like to do some research, 4 people in this thread have also asked for this to be fixed. And just to add insult to injury, I double checked in game, all the books inside the bank in Marbruk are completed and read by the same alt :P 5 clues and one note I believe. (plus one shalidor book). I am at 3303 books read. Still have a few in crags, cyro, IC and a few in trials to collect.

That's the books list i can't have access after i done quest.

Orders to Halskar
Captain Black Sword's
Valia's Cargo Manifest
Adainaz' Journal (nDSC2 done, no journal near skeletons)
Plea to Maximinus
Snowmead's Missive
A Plea for the Elder Scrolls
Memo to Captain Siro
A Less Rude Song
The Year 2920, Vol. 27 [IC ramdom?]

And then books from Pact and Alliance base in Cyrodil ( Please do somethin for that too...)

On the face of it, ZOS found a problem, whether it is a problem that everyone who plays the game discovers. As a retired programmer, I can tell you that it is entirely possible for a flaw in the software to become evident to one or more of its users, but never become evident to other users. That is why "It works for me." is usually meaningless as a reply to a bug report even if the reply is true.

What I'm saying is that, with regard to both "Healing Herbs of Tamriel" and the lore-books allegedly available during the quest in Marbruk, "The Artisan", neither one of us is necessarily wrong. And each of us can be right.

As previously stated, it doesn't matter what you believe, the facts prove you wrong in both cases. Not a biggee and time to move on.

A Plea for the Elder Scrolls in Mnem temple in Cyrodiil is still bugged (on pts)

@ZOS_GinaBruno @ZOS_JessicaFolsom


@Mix : Captain Black Sword's Journal is available (very easy to find).

And Memo to Captain Siro is OK too. @Mix
