Commentaire de Deshank

The book you're searching for, is in the middle, and huge building near Araj.
A lot of "Musty Tomes" is scattered on the floor. The book for the quest has a 20% drop chance, so just keep opening them until it "drops"

There's two groups with 4 peeps guarding the building, so to get inside you'll have to suicide if you're below lvl 59/60 probably.

When you use a book, upon completing the "spell" one or two level 55 undead will spawn (they give you an annoying debuff as melee).

Starts the quest Brother Carlin.

Done as 58 Warrior.

Commentaire de 808

The trick with this quest is to carefully examine the books on the floor. "Trapped" tomes that spawn guards have a clear white/gray split on their pages, whereas the real thing has a smooth transition from white to gray. This may only become apparent if you zoom in and highlight a book, but it's worth it to avoid unneccessary fights.

Also, if you're doing this as a 'lock, use Life Tap and Hellfire to suicide in and out, as you won't lose durability and won't have to fight to undead out front.

At 56 I was able to sneak in and out without aggroing the 4 guard parties (as a pally). Also, the tip about the books above is very neat - thanks for sharing!

Commentaire de Boroxxar

This is very easy to sneak in if you are 56 or higher. Sneak around the building from the west and south and hug the building close and you will not aggro the 4 man mobs. However I have clicked on 10 booksand still do not have it. The book also spawn 2 55-56 mobs.

cheers

Commentaire de Trix017

I noticed that no one has said where the town hall actually is for this quest. It is the large building in the center of Andorhal, cords are aprox. 43,69. Also, there may be one mob or two, it seemed to swing on the flip of a coin.

Commentaire de Glow

Smooth book worked for me ;)

Commentaire de 23528

This quest is a cruel joke I swear, opened 30 books waiting for actual one to spawn. Gave up :o

Commentaire de 22987

Okay the REAL trick is this, the debuff called Musty tome trap expirees in about a minute. When it does the ghouls die with it automatically. You just need to stay alive for 30 seconds and you can loot all the books you want. Handy for my 52 druid that solod this quest.

Commentaire de builtforsin

Like the dude posted above with the picture, i went in there lvl 52 looked at all the books first person view saw the book that was all Grey on pages opened it and bam! it was that easy! thanks for the good tip man!

Commentaire de InfernoMan

When my wife and I did this quest, we weren't aware of the shading difference between the "real" and the fake books, but we did notice the "real" one spawned in the same place, along the back wall behind a barrel. only opened 2 of the fake ones, found the real one by accident, then waited for it to respwan without opening any others. Not sure if it was a fluke or not, but might be worth a shot to check that location first to possibly avoid any debuffs/annoying battles (that give no xp as well)

Commentaire de 38234

Not sure if this has been mentioned before and sorry if it has, but if you stand behind the books when you open them, more often than not (for me at any rate), the trap is not activated. You just see a strange blue eve that shoots beams(??) in a direction and goes back in.
NOTE: This does not work 100% of the time

Commentaire de BoJlk

Location: 43,69
There is a group of 5 mobs outside spell caster and melee which are hard to go through.
* Bring a Friend to help

The Spawned Critter has a 2 minutes debuff which stacks.
Reducing Strength and Stamina by 100 (stack x 5)
And 47 sec debuff to movement imparing by 60% and Attack speed by 28%
It becomes harder to fight them.

Commentaire de plasmasnakemg

I can 100% confirm that the real book definitely looks different from all of the other books, I just did the quest yesterday and posted about this here on the book's page a few minutes after.

First and foremost, the fake books are indeed all bottom half white pages and top half gray pages.

Secondly, the fake book pages look to be a lower texture resolution. They don't look like actual pages if that makes any sense. The real book's pages will look like pages are supposed to look. When you see it, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

And be sure to hover your mouse over the books to light them up some, the room is rather dark. :)

Commentaire de 42445

Another note, the stuff you have to kill doesn't give any experience.

Commentaire de Nahri

I did this quest at 54. The mobs inside are not to bad. but then again I am a shaman Lol! The debuff can stack on you up to 5 times totaling for a loss of 100 stam and 100 str.

If you do this at a low level like I did watch those debuffs it will make or break you.

Make sure you have free bag space. If you dont physically loot the ruined tomes it will stay on the floor and not make way for what could be the book you are there to retrieve. Also has a chance to respawn the mobs and you will have to fight them twice for something you already cleared and waste your time.

Good Luck!

Commentaire de 50394

Just did it awhile ago and the correct book surely looks different. As the above poster mentioned the correct book might not be there, so you have to open the wrong ones to get the correct one to spawn. Tested on 10th May 07

Commentaire de 50449

This quest is a waste of time if you're unlucky like me... 30+ bad tomes, no book, no xp, just a headache.

Commentaire de 52141

the book trick works perfect!! Walked in and found the right book with in seconds!

Commentaire de MikeWho3

I did the quest today 5/30/07 and the book trick did not seem to work. The book looked no different from the rest of them, they all had the white line and it seemed to be just a random spawn. It was easy to sneak past the mobs in front of the building as a 57 paladin, just fight your way around the side, avoid the 57 Elite undead patrolling and then hug the wall, jump the stone ramp and walk right in. The stackable debuff the mobs put on you can be removed with cleanse or other powers, but the one you get from the book itself cannot be removed. Sitting in the middle of the room with the books the coords are 43.5, 69.5

Commentaire de 57088

Book trick seems to still work, just look for the one with the white top and bottom. Got mine on the first try!

Commentaire de Keruza

Not exactly needed to point this out. But the color trick still works as of 9/6-07. Just did it and got it confirmed

Commentaire de Caylie

Very easy to stealth/prowl in and do it.

Done as 53 Druid.

Commentaire de 61148

43,69 room entrance cords. Simple quest only had to kill 3 of them to get the book.

like said above, there are many mobs in front of the building, simple hug the wall and no aggro :)

Commentaire de 62198

As a rogue this was mindnumbingly simple. Stealth over to the house, stealth inside, find the right book as per the instructions above, restealth and sneak back to Chromie... Took me around 1 min, with no fighting at all...

Commentaire de 36213

soloed as a 51 paladin

63 pally was clearing out the front steps so i just walked in, no proper book for minutes so started opening false books.
after about 1 minute the zombies from traps disapear

Commentaire de sloppyjoes

The most tedious quest I've done to date.
Basically you have to run naked and suicide several times into the town hall, once you reach it you look around the room for the book, if you can't find it, you have to open the fake books until the real one spawns. The real book does look like the picture, and it is a higher quality model (the pages look more real), but it was hard to get.
It took me about an hour to complete, and about a 1.5 gold repair charge (didn't go naked until the 4th or so death) on a mage.
But it's worth doing, for the quests afterwards are easy.

Commentaire de 70823

The Book IS a random spawn. You may have to burn a couple of the fake ones to get it to spawn.
Go into your video options, MAX out Terrain Texture, and Terrain Detail. Then, get into first person view and look at all the books carefully. The real book will appear to have more pages, better graphics, all one-coloured pages and a faint X on the back of the book.
Confirmed in 2.1.2.

Commentaire de 76523

Did this quest tonight, and of 9 books, all of them were fake (checked the coloring as above and they all were top half grey, bottom half white). Not a single one of them was all white.

Wouldn't have been so bad if the spawned mobs actually gave experience :/ Blech. Many minutes wasted not gaining experience.

Commentaire de 22103

Same here. All of the books had distinctly different halves, there was no discernable difference even at max settings.

Commentaire de 61232

Confirmed, though I found the color difference more pronounced if I didn't mouseover the books.

The faint X on the spine of the book was easy to spot, though.

Commentaire de 29534

Did this with two people. First person got the tome in 3 tries, 2nd person had to open up 33 different books to get the darned real one to spawn. >_< Bothersome.

Commentaire de 44711

The easiest quest so far, in my view. Asa 57 'Lock, I sneaked around the entrance and into the Hall, no agro, picked up the right book first time (gray in the middle) and hurried out. Just remember to take it easy out, and don't do as I did, bumping into the lvl 56 elite...

Commentaire de 44284

Either get a group, or suicide your way in. Pick up books until you get the right one. Go out, use a swift speed potion and run the hell out of Andorhal.

Turn the book into Chromie

Commentaire de SharkBait

Lol look around and 2 of the books looked like they had X's on the spine and the rest look like they have E (or whatever that symbol is). Anyway the first X book I choose had the book I needed.

Commentaire de 10617

As a 57 Pally I jus' snuck in, found the book by lookin' at the colors of the pages. To sneak in jus' go behind the building to the south side and stick to the wall as close as possible. Make sure that elite pat outside doesn't catch you.

I dunno what level could do that, but I think a 56 might not be able to do it without a fight.

Commentaire de 31645

I did this with patch 2.2 and none of the spawned mobs gave XP when killed, even though they gave my rogue a very unhappy debuff that decreased my strength and stamina, stacking up to 5 times.

My rogue was 55 at the time and the spawned mobs were 55 - 56, thus "yellow" to me. I petitioned a GM and from the conversation I had with the GM, these mobs *should* give XP when killed. He filed a bug report. Not a huge issue IMHO but I am surprised that nobody else reported it until today.

Commentaire de 70946

Had to clear the room twice before it popped, and it was a surprise when it did as I could see the distinct page split and there was no 'X' on the cover. I actually cancelled the loot to examine the book more closely, but I still couldn't discern between the right book and the wrong ones.

On top of that, the mobs still aren't giving experience. A painful process in an otherwise decent line.

Commentaire de 58040

I was able to sneak into the building as a 57 mage by hugging the wall EXTREMELY tightly. Don't have to suicide your way in

-edit-
Casters, make sure you take a little bit of a break inbetween the tomes. The Debilitating touches stack up quickly and you'll soon find yourself with triple digit hp again...

-edit 2-
After 2.3, the tome you're looking for is the one that DOESN'T sparkle...

Commentaire de 93569

I just finished this quest. I had to clear a few books before the right one spawned where the first book I'd cleared had been. It did sparkle and it did still have the different pages as detailed above. Still not getting xp from the Decripid Guardian guys.

Commentaire de Brazz

Well i got in at level 56 simply by running, jumping over the little edge of the stair and then turn left... i even had a level 56elite abbomination in my heels he didn't even pull the group outside its not that hard just relax and do it no big deal

Commentaire de 59396

Opened 12 ruined tomes before the right one finally spawn. And no, it did not blink like the others.

Commentaire de Mik3y92

As if patch 2.3, I got 8450 exp at level 59.
It also took me ~12 books to open to finally get the book.

Commentaire de 96444

i found out that pages dont really matter... its all the light, i noticed that if i stood at it a certain way, all of them were grey/white split. so i think its just all luck

Commentaire de Irulan

I abandoned this quest, all teh books look exactly the same, after 10x i realised i coudl have got double the xp in the time i wasted in that room.

Commentaire de Darter

As some one else said. The book your looking for does NOT sparkle. I spent nearly two and a half hours opening books. If your doing this for XP and not the quest chain. DON'T. You can make 10 times as much XP killing the mobs out side the building then you will doing this quest.

Commentaire de 10013

I found the right book within about 10 minutes or so... even if you're on low texture resolution you can tell the difference.

On low texture detail, all of the fake books have solid sides, but the real book you can see stripes for pages.

Commentaire de 123449

I have done this on 3 characters and everytime it was a pain. I have submitted two screenshots this time.

Two things to remember to keep it easy.
1) if you have some sort of CC the ghouls despawn after a set time of about 1-1.5 minutes. out of 13 clicks i got 2 ghouls 11 times and 1 ghoul 1 time.
2) sometimes you have to click a wrong book to get the right one to spawn if it's not already there. upon inspection the correct book is in very good condition and the wrong books are torn up and tattered. it's not very hard to see the difference.

Commentaire de LumiyaSpellsong

I approached the entrance to the building from the left side of the door (left if you were facing the doorway head on), coming up and around towards it from the south. From the left side of the building I simply hugged the wall and moved slowly. I was able to do this all the way around and in the front door at level 57 with no aggro from the groups of mobs standing out front. If you come at the door from the left side of the doorway and hug the wall tight and take it slow and easy to make sure you're hugging the wall and doorway as closely as you can, you will be able to get in without attracting aggro.

Then use the method of examining the book's pages -- the all white pages is the one you want, and the ones with half gray/half white pages are fakes. I was in and out with the book in the blink of an eye, and exited the same way... by hugging the wall and heading back out the left side of the building (again, left being the direction if you were facing the front of the building.)

Good luck!

Commentaire de 132480

The Fake Books have a darker blue spot in one corner, and do not lines for pages when you look at the side. The real one is all a plain blue and does show pages. hope this helped ^_^

Commentaire de 44899

Well i did this quest at 56 on my feral druid and lets just say ive clicked every book like 6 times and its just kinda gay to tp have this low drop on something so simple

Commentaire de ypsllon

if you are the type of guy how hates ridiculous quests, dont even bother with this one! and the mobs that spawn don't even give xp! you'll be spending quite some time until that damn book decides to spawn!

Commentaire de 123811

this is quite easy as a druid or rogue as all u have to do is stealth/sneek and jump the wall pulling nothing

Commentaire de 60138

The real book is indeed a different texture, but you may have to open a few dozen fake books before it even spawns into the room. Unless you get lucky. It didn't spawn for me until after I'd opened 11 fake books.

Commentaire de Dolphudbud

After reading the comments above, I started opening the tomes on the floor waiting for the 'different' one to appear to complete the quest. After a few minutes it hadn't appeared, so I decided to just open every book on the floor hoping this would prompt the quest item to appear. More than 30 minutes have passed (I know this because my self buffs expired) and I can't believe it still hasn't appeared. I am abandoning this quest. What a waste of time.

Commentaire de 115037

very easy quest for a level 61 warlock. coords for the book is 44.69. To turn quest in to Chromie is about 39.67.

Commentaire de dimon7777

this fukin quest took me 1 hour..... there were only black books :S

Commentaire de Ladno

The book most definitely is random.
What's more, the guardians cast a debuff on you called 'Debilitating touch' which stacks up to 5 times, with each stack reducing your stamina and strength by 20.

It also appears that the guardians die randomly if you tank them long enough.

Commentaire de 79333

I got it on the first try. My texture resolution and filtering are both on very low settings, so the books all looked pretty much the same. I may have just been lucky, but I chose the book with the cover that seemed to have a lighter shade of blue than the others. Don't know if that will work for anyone else, though.

Commentaire de 153015

I used a strange tatic, but worked at first time too. Around 43.5 67.4 there is a group of scarlets, and they helped me.

I just called the mobs at the door, and ran very close to building wall, so the casters should follow me, cuz of LoS. Once they would attack me, the scarlets came and started to fight them too. At end, there was only me, a ghoul and a scarlet medic. Ghoul died and Scarlet medic evaded, so I could refresh mana and life, kill the medic (optional) and enter building in safety.

Inside the building, you shall notice the spawns really die in about 1 minute. Plus, they don't give loot or experience. So it is REALLY not necessary to kill them. Just keep yourself alive (ofc, if you have heal). As a paladin, I used turn evil twice and they disappeared. Ofc, you may turn only one, and the other I used to recover mana with seal of wisdom.

Commentaire de 169775

Is it just me or does anyone else notice that the room she is staying in of the inn has only one bed, and yet she is there with a male blood-elf Jeziba.
Gossip?
Drama?
Romance?
oh yes.

Commentaire de LoKHor

There are a lot of comments noting how to tell the difference between the fake tomes and the real one. What isn't mentioned here is that the Decrepit Guardians which spawn will despawn after around a minute. If you are a tanky class, just hold out and try to kill one. But they will both disappear after some time.

The correct tome can take a very long time to spawn. I had to clear 20-30 fake ones, which took me well over half an hour—maybe closer to an hour. It doesn't feel worth it unless you really want to do the follow-up.
