Shiro's Return book - Guild Wars Forums

BigDave · Apr 13, 2009, 04:04 PM // 16:04

Is it possible to complete 2 Shiro's Return books at the same time like you can with the Hero's Handbooks, but then hand one in to the Luxon collector and the other to the Kurzick one? Like a few seconds after each other.

The reason i ask is that i've almost maxed out my Luxon title and i also want to max my Kurzick and i kinda liked the idea of maxing both at the same time. So getting both titles to about 9.9million faction then completing 2 books and handing them both in, one to each collector.

Has anyone tried handing in 2 books like this? I don't want to waste my time if it won't work. I've done a search but didn't come up with anything.

Don't think it's possible, I think it only puts it in one of the books that you have. Then again, this is something I would like to know as well.

I don't see any problems handing in two books at the same time, however, you must remember that when you donate faction it reduces both allegiances by the same amount.

For example, if you have 6,000 Kurzick and 5,000 Luxon and you donate 5,000 to the Luxons, you will be left with 1,000 Kurzick and 0 Luxon.

Good luck!

Books give you title points, not faction, so there's absolutely no issue here.

That's why i was hoping the books would work. They don't give you faction. They give points directly to your title. There's no actual "donation" involved.

I might just try it out with a couple of partially completed books. Shouldn't take too long to figure out.

it should work, no reason for it not to. those two npc's will not refuse to talk to if u have more faction of the opposing faction. since it is direct points, that also shouldnt conflict.

You can turn in books to either faction and get the same amount of points to your title.

i am pretty sure that you will only get credit for the mission in one book so you would prolly have to do each mission 2 times because i think you can only get credit for the missions one book at time like with eotn books if you have to of the hero handbooks in your inventory at the same time and you do a mission only one book will get credit for the mission but then again i might be wrong wouldn't be the first time

BigDave · Apr 13, 2009, 05:09 PM // 17:09

Yeah i'd have to double up on all the missions. Do one, swap the book over then do it again. I'll give it a go over the next day or two and see what happens. There's no reason i can think of why it won't work but i'd rather not call out in alliance chat "here lads, get a load of this!" and then have it go off like a damp squib

You can only fill out one book at a time.
They fixed that bug already.

Wampirate · Apr 13, 2009, 05:29 PM // 17:29

I have an idea. Maybe take one book, and leave another in storage, do mission and they take the book from storage and pay bard to fill it. Try, it might work.

Tharg · Apr 13, 2009, 06:44 PM // 18:44

that's how it worked in EotN - one book in your inventory and swap it with the books in the chest. I did 6 HM books that way (doing each mission 6 times in a row).

Yep, that's pretty much the way to do it nowdays.
