Quest Steps

Step 1 - Get Quest

Get this quest from Darrius Elkentrophe in Hilsbury Manor. See the spoilers page for specifics on how to find him.

Step 2 - Collect Book Pages

Each book quest requires three pages. Book pages drop from books that spawn on the floor of the library, not to be confused with the animated books that will do their best to kill you once you get in here.

Each time you pick up a book, a

[23]Demented Visage

will spawn. They have a pretty good loot table, which is nice.

The pages do seem to have a rarity associated with them, which correlates to the rarity of loot they reward. This means Pages of Val are most common, followed by Gas, followed by Tal.

Step 3 - Return to Darrius

Return to Darrius to claim your reward

Quest Notes

The books will usually drop one of the nine pages that are needed for the three book quests but occasionally may produce a random drop instead. Each book takes about five minutes to respawn meaning that in order to complete the three book quests for each party member you will need to spend a good long time camped in the library handling the residents as they respawn. Fortunately the mobs in the library are very well itemized and there is plenty of interesting gear that can drop while you're here. The pages are tradeable to make it slightly easier for each party member to get a complete set.

Known Issues

None.
