what is the point of having more then one copy of a book like the hero's handbook?

xcenic · Sep 24, 2007, 11:50 PM // 23:50

i think you cant have more than one book...but if you can have more than one! imagine:

3 book at same time= 3 book to give to the dude and have 7500 faction point.

Idk is what i undestain about you question!

fatman12342 · Sep 24, 2007, 11:53 PM // 23:53

if you put the book in your storage he will give you another one then you will have 2

holababe · Sep 24, 2007, 11:56 PM // 23:56

Yeah, but the quests will only fill up one at a time.
There's no real advantage to having a 2nd one

Neo Nugget · Sep 25, 2007, 12:07 AM // 00:07

I guess if you were bored or a guildy wanted help you could get credit for it even if you havent finished your first book. No real advantage though.

fatman12342 · Sep 25, 2007, 12:14 AM // 00:14

wait couldent you get all 3 and turn them in to all 3 people?

lets say you want to get rep by filling books, and a guildie wants to do a mission you already done, get a second book, and when the first one will be done, you'll already have the second one started.

As stated, you can put one book in storage and get another one. Advantage of having two would be, as mentioned, getting credit when helping someone else through storyline. You can turn in a completed book for extra reputation with either of the groups. Let's say, you aren't sure at this point who to get the reputation from .... you can hold onto a completed book and start another.

I'm keeping one in storage just as a momento. A little reminder of my journeys in the north.

The only point to multiple books is being able to get credit for doing dungeons multiple times before finishing a single book.

trobinson97 · Sep 25, 2007, 11:19 AM // 11:19

can you still get points using the books after reaching rank 8 in the title track?

tmakinen · Sep 25, 2007, 11:56 AM // 11:56

No, you can't.

kielus · Sep 25, 2007, 01:26 PM // 13:26

quests are counted only for the book that is most top-left in your storage. e.g. u got 4 books like that Y-X-X-X and you done a quest that was in none of them it'll be counted only in the 'Y' book. Dunno about dungeons but i belive it's same. Bugger

RTSFirebat · Sep 25, 2007, 02:29 PM // 14:29

Not really "bugger" at all, its to stop people exploiting.

If they all updated you could have a whole inventory of books, complete all the primary quests and then BAM! Instant 20000+ faction points.

A lot more because completed book gives 2500 reputation points.

It really sucks that you can't gain points at all past r8, but I'm stocking Hero Handbooks for when we eventually can. I tracked the time needed to completely fill an empty Hero's Handbook and it takes just 3 and a half hours total, give or take, not counting merching/in-between time. Most quests can be done in 15 minutes, if that. The only one that really poses a threat to the total time is Destruction's Depths, and that depends on whether or not the game wants to be cruel.

At r8, turn in a total of 48 books once we can, and you can instantly reach r10 in that particular faction.

Pff, dungeon books are where it's at. try doing that in 3 1/2 hours ;P

CyberMesh0 · Sep 25, 2007, 11:26 PM // 23:26

That's the point- more rep points for your time, especially after you max r8.

R!ghteous Ind!gnation · Sep 26, 2007, 01:54 PM // 13:54

there is no advantage other than passing to new chars entering eotn

Achilles Antony · Sep 26, 2007, 05:03 PM // 17:03

^ You can't pass the books on to new characters... they are customized for your character...
