WoW Forever Library Books: Rewards and Turn-in
Library books are new in WoW Forever. You find books out in the world and turn them in at a library in Stormwind City or Undercity for rewards. Blizzard hasn't explained the system officially yet. What we know about the rules comes from fan sites, and they don't agree on everything. What's in the game files, we show from our own data.
Library cards
The game files contain two library cards. Both are unique and bind on pickup. Where you get them isn't known yet.
Where do I turn in books?
You hand in books one at a time: per fan sites
- Alliance: Garion Wendell · Stormwind City (37.8, 80.2)
- Horde: Owen Thadd · Undercity (73.6, 33.0)
Both NPCs are in our database with their location. That they are the librarians only comes from fan sites.
Rewards
You get a reward after 10, 20 and 25 books. After 25 books you pick one of three items: per fan sites
- Truthseeker's Bow item level 45, from level 40
- Crest of Elucidation item level 45, from level 40
- Researcher's Night Light item level 45, from level 40
These three items are in the game files like this; the tooltip shows their stats. Fan sites also mention a necklace and a ring for the earlier steps. We can't match them to items in our data yet, so we don't name them.
Library Shelf for your camp
There's also a Library Shelf for your camp: it places a shelf of books next to you that works as a library. It needs a campfire nearby. More about camps: Camping.
Where are the books?
We'll add the book locations after launch, from the data our addon collects. You can help: play with our addon and upload your data: Contribute data.
How many books there are differs between sources, so we don't give a number yet.
