BUGGED BOOKS Patch 3.2.5

This Spreadsheet is an ongoing list of problem books and fixed books: Eidetic Memory Bugged Books List

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!)

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

Last but not least, Community help to locate missing books. It would be great if ZoS could confirm books the Community cannot locate are actually in the game:)

I want to give a big THANK YOU to everyone who is contributing to this thread/project, you all rock!

If you have trouble finding the following books, please check the spoilers for screenshots:

Letter to Artisan Craftworks: Letters and Missives: Mournhold, Deshaan

Or Else: Daedric Cults: Fighter's Guild area, Riften

A Death Desired: Final Words: (moved in Update 12): Cyrodiil

This is the route I take through IC to check the bookshelves. I play EP and this may not be the most logical route for your character. I tried to show the path as clearly as I can (yay Paint!) but the maps aren't that detailed to begin with. I also took a screenshot at each bookcase to hopefully help you locate them all:)

Temple District:

IC Bookshelf 1:

IC Bookshelf 2:

IC Bookshelf 3:
Jump down to reach bookshelf 3.

IC Bookshelf 4:

Rant About The News Regarding Vampire

May 15, 2020, 8:02 am

≫ Next: Dissatisfied with the vampire rework? Let ZOS know on today's stream!

≪ Previous: New Player

*Note: The following thread may be hard-to-read and very confusing. It may also upset some folks. It is therefore advised that people who read at a third grade level Go Try French Opera instead. Also, noobie discretion is advised.*

So I just got done reading the article previewing the changes coming to Vampire skill line...and I will have to say, I am a bit concerned and perhaps a bit angry.

Now, before we begin to dive in, I will say that I have not had the chance to test out the actual changes on the PTS...I am going purely based off the article, so it is likely that once Greymoor releases my opinions may change. I would also like to point out that my main toon is a Vampire (and a Stage 4 one at that), so some of these changes are going to affect me personally.

Ok, now let's do this.

First, based off the article, the ultimate ability, and many active abilities are going to be added, replaced, and/or updated. This could cause a problem, because if you are a vampire (and my main is a vampire), it will mean that you will have to spend another 100,000 gold or however many crowns it is on a respec. And then there is the obvious question...why vampires and not werewolves as well?

Second, you put in some Justice system reactions when you reach Vampirism Stage 4...why not Werewolves either? If Tamriel hates the undead, then why isn't werewolves not getting the same Justice System treatment?

As an additional note to my second point above, with how Stage 4 Vampirism works in the new update, you can expect that many vampires who could just about get by on Stage 4 will have no choice but to, hours before the servers are taken offline for patch maintenance, will have to find a town with lots of enemy NPCs and feed on them to drastically reduce their stage...they won't be able to log out in a town because they'll be accosted/killed by guards as soon as they log in after servers come back up (if Zeni somehow pulls off this remote deployment of the update, but that's banter for the various maintenance threads that will pop up next week, not this thread).

And finally, with this change, I do not see many people who will want to be a vampire. It is little wonder why the Vampire Curse was on sale in the Crown Store...so people would buy it all right up and then you'll announce some major overhauls, forcing people to pay full price to cure it or be forced to live with it, because they can't pay the 100,000 gold fee required to cure it by a Priest of Arkay.

Actually, one more note...the way feeding works in the new update, it seems we'll have to choose between vampire and blade of woe when sneaking up. Or the game will decide for you, which could mean a person you need to kill via Blade of Woe is instead going to be fed off of instead.

I just don't see why Zeni felt the need to change everything regarding Vampires. Sure, Vampire skills were quite weak compared to other skill lines, but they weren't useless.

Rant done. I will see you all next week after I am sent on yet another forum vacation. Arena25 out!

Is anyone else going to be there voicing their dissatisfaction for the vampire rework? It is today at 4pm EST!

I cannot beg those of you enough that don't like the direction the rework took to jump on and just let them know.

I know I'll be there! Please, whether you dislike the VL form being a reskin low effort (RUBBER LORD) ability, the weaknesses not being enough or too much, the VL form not having wings, the weird design choice to make vampire's spammable a melee without ANY ranged or good AoE damage dealers or gap closers in the kit, maybe you just dislike the blood frenzy nerf recently.

Anything! Will you be there on today's stream?

So yesterday was one of the worst days in history i think. Bars greyed out for like 5 seconds. i wasnt even able to use a buttom to force a command.
Using ultimates put me into a loop for 40seconds.
I was really upset and left cyrodil (noncp). Afterwards i was watching Fengrush stream. They were playing noncp aswell. They had zero lag, could fight
50v50 with no impact in performace. How is that even possible? Are the na players priviliged?

Cheap NB rework

May 2, 2020, 3:11 am

≫ Next: Stuck at Bloodforge door in wailing prison

≪ Previous: Performance PC EU vs PC NA

Since I still think that going with Bloodzerker/blood mage and skill lines basing with health as reasource pool would be most unique and fresh for the game itself and class I had yet another cheaper idea for NB. Im not rly write it for myself, just hope some ZoS write down those ideas on some papper with "maybe" in title.

Basically I notice that struggling with overnerfing in NB case is simply caused by his dumb clunky cloak. When he was in original state he could do one shoot-no risk, now cloak was nerfed and yet that was still not enough, so they took most of his bufffs. I myself play on dark cloak and hate that class must suffer because of this cloak. My suggestion is to completely REMOVE it.

Yes, remove it and make invisible work for NB a bit different. Access to invsi will widely available via vampire + potions, so dont scream about identity or your dream of being assasin and ending as free AP.

New idea of NB would rely on his class "under condition" - invisibility, so:

Shadow cloak - base healing working as old dark cloak (no scalling), so around 1500 + your light/heavy attacks have 15% chance to turn you into shadow (invisible) for 8 seconds,
Dark cloak - a bit higher scaling then current one.

Piercing mark: 60% base healing/major fracture and breach, no longer you can see the target but you receive minor berserk against the marked target and after his death keeping it for 8 seconds,
Reaping mark: 60% healing/major fracture and breach, no major berserk but upon death of marked target you go invisible for next 8 seconds.

Master Assassin: keep increased wp/spl dmg and remove boost of sneak stun. Instead of it you will receive quaranteed critical strike after leaving invisibility.

As you can see these changes will no longer give you class guaranteed invis but overall if you combine it with proper potion and vampire, you will be stronger overall in a fight and still be sort of assasin but no risk for old NB that kill efortlessly.

Ever since I resubbed a week ago, I've had far worse than usual ping and pretty bad lag spikes. Whereas I am able to get 30ish ms in every other online game I play, I am stuck with 110 at lowest here. This was irritating enough before the other day when I started very frequently getting spikes of 999+,regardless of the time of day or what I'm doing in game. I checked other games again to make sure my network wasn't unstable, and they were still fine so it's definitely just ESO. What gives?

≪ Previous: Awful ping + lag spikes

ok ok so just to state what rich said. lore comes from lots of ingame accounts of stuff.

do you think when the author of the ingame book describing summerset and alinor wrote his book that he thought people would be interested in hearing about stone buildings?

probably not. we have not had anything to go on but his words. so why not exaggerate something so his readers are more entertained? its not like anyone can prove him wrong! people were not allowed there so his word was accepted at face value.

so all this hype behind insect wing buildings and glass and crystal. none of it was anything more then the account of an imperial writing a book. Not Concrete Information.

so please being that this is the first time we have seen the isle since arena can we just be happy to get something so beautiful and unique. Stop defending and standing bulwark to some npc's writings.

The Current State of ESO- In the perspective of a new palyer

May 14, 2020, 3:33 pm

≫ Next: Favorite monster mask animation/visual

≪ Previous: Summerset architecture.

So i started ESO a little over a week ago and so far i'm enjoying the game. The combat although different has grown on me. The PVE and questing is fun, but so far what I've been enjoying the most is my time PVPing in Cryodiil. I'm still only level 40 but even then it's still a lot of fun PVPing with different groups and participating in their discords (I've always enjoyed PVP the most in the different MMORPGs i've played).

I only have the base game + Marrowind, and I was thinking about getting ESO+. I was doing some research to see if it was worth subscribing and I was ultimately led to the forums... and boy does the community here paint a completely different picture of the state of ESO.

So the main complaints i keep seeing is server lag and server performance that will never get fixed... However, with my time playing I have not experienced this crippling, unplayable lag in cyrodiil. Sure I've had some spikes in ping and drop in FPS, but it was never to the point where it was unplayable (mind you i am on a NA PC server). Am I just lucky? or is this more of an issue for the EU servers and Console players? or is it because i'm not experienced enough to see the server lag?

Ultimately I am asking because I've been browsing the forums quite a bit the past few days, and sadly it makes me not want to subscribe, yet alone continue playing due to the fact that the developers does not care about PVP and its performance. Is all of this really true? or are you all just fake news :P.

Class Rep Program Update

July 24, 2019, 11:50 am

≫ Next: How long will it take to farm mythic items?

≪ Previous: Master Angler at last!

Hello everyone!

A few months back, we posted that we were looking for volunteers to join the Class Rep Program. We were overwhelmed with the amount of interest, receiving hundreds of applications from so many passionate players. The decision on who to choose was difficult given the amount of qualified players, but today, we’re excited to announce the newest ESO Class Representatives:

CAB_Life (console player!)
cicisch
Glorious
NefasQS
RebornZombie

These players will be joining the existing Class Reps, which include:

Alcast
FearTurbo
GandTheImpaler
Masel
Quantum

While some of the Class Reps may specialize in certain classes or prefer some game styles over others, our goal was to make sure the program has a mixture of both PvP and PvE players with everyone having extensive experience in many different classes.

As a general reminder, the goal of this program is to ensure your voice is being heard, and concerns are being relayed and discussed directly with the Dev Team. While the last couple updates have largely focused on the ongoing ability audits, we’ll be moving back to having regular calls with the Class Reps and posting public meeting notes very soon.

Thanks for everyone’s support, and please join us in welcoming the new faces!

I haven’t done any of the antiquities on pts personally, and I was wondering how long it would take to actually get one of these items. If they wind up being super game breaking things in the future, then are they going to be a “psyjic order skill line” kind of annoying, “legerdemain skill line level of annoying,” or is it going to be “get all crafting 9 traits kind of annoying.

I say annoying as I’m certain anyone who wants this gear is not looking forward to hours spent playing mobile phone games on ESO to get it. Any idea how long it will likely take?

≪ Previous: How long will it take to farm mythic items?

Its dealing insane Damage while also healing you...
No one agrees?

With the change to asylum dualwield, dualwield ult became the single most useless ult in the game. It kind of was already the worst ult, but they managed to make it even weaker.

Seriously the ult needs some changes.
For example Thrive in Chaos could lose the healing, but deals the same damage as rend, just over 8 second. Which would make it usefull for PvE and PvP espacially against multiple enemys. Bc that is what dualwield was meant to be, a strong aoe skilline whith spin2win.

Also dualweild has the weakest non-ultimate skill in the game. Flying blade is such a terrible skill to use and no one asked for shrouded dagger to be nerfed as hard as it was.

2h has onslaught, dizzy, momentum, executioner, cleave and even crit rush will be strong with maelstrom changes

I know there might be another discussion like this but I am genuinely trying to understand here, what benefits out weight the negatives of that coat increase when it comes to PvE?

Do we need to treat playing a vampire as a separate class of it's own much like playing werewolf? Because people who used vampire for RPing aspects so far will probably have to stop using it or build around it if they still wanna get maximum DPS when it comes to PvE.

Well this is LONG overdue, but items like "Laurel" require me to drag them out of the bag, and type "DESTROY" just to get rid of them, why they can't just be sold to a vendor in order to be quickly discarded? I Mean, you can vendor "Dreugh Wax" for god sake.
for those of us without ESO plus active all year round getting rid of these items who take up bag space is tiresome.
and why do i need to type "DESTROY"? i remember that items like "Laurel" and "Malachite" used to be legendary (yellow) quality, but they are not anymore.

it has been a nuisance for more than 2 years now, sure it's not game-breaking, and it only takes 2 seconds of your time, but it's still Annoying as hell! plus it's an easy enough fix.
