Here is the complete Pool offering once you are done with GWEN.

This is Part of the reason the 5 primaries appear in your book when it spawns, When you are done with it on the account.

But it's already in the book automatically every time you get a new book. So who cares if you can't get it again. It's a moot point.

yea. my comment has to do with a fix Anet is considering to stop the shortcuts to CTC and A time for heroes. which would mean the primaries would not respawn in the book each time. (see wiki notes for HoS)

The other factor thats bad with the loss of against the destroyers is that the Heart of the Shiverpeaks dungeon with Cyndr in it is not repeatable. If you go down there afterward you face Magmus, which is near impossible to kill. Even with a full party. . God help you if you had to fight Magmus in HM!!! OMG! Currently if you finished HoS prior... the only way to go to HoS Cyndr again, normal or HM is to get someone that has the Against the destroyers quest and ready to go to HoS for the first time. You know you have someone with the quest IF the blackpowder guy is in the right place. if he is off in a different direction then normal, or not there at all. Guess what? You are fighting magmus. Time to /resign and find someone that has the right quest. Or chance it and doubtfully complete it.

Oh BTW. I had a guildy mistakenly abandon Against the destroyers. lol Guess what? he was Fubar now on that character with no way to reattain it. He had to get it done for the account now on another character and reget his books so it will appear with the account flag for that quest, or bought the pages (not sure that would work for Against the Destroyers). However we got him through the shortcut with his character obviously so he is not inconvenienced at this loss on that character. After he finished it on another character the normal way naturally. the shortcut does not work for him otherwise...

All I could say was OPPS... and Sorry your screwed unless we help you get to end game in another way later. Others very soon will be in the same boat.

I read all posts and went back to the handbook guy I turned my book in to before the reputation award update for books. As you all were, I was upset and felt ripped off. I got another book and turned it in right away. the first time, he said I only had a few missions filled in. What? I turned it in and got a small rep award. I did it again and this time got the full amount given after the update. So, there remains a bug, of sorts, but the fix still works. I am satisfied. Thanks, GW team for that fix.

I already filled 2 books in hard mode. I find this to be a quite effective way to get reputation points (30k per book filled). Farming may be more effective, but I wanted a change of pace after farming to R8.

I did Heart of the shiverpeaks with a friend and 6 heroes in hard mode quite easily (except for Magnus, it was our first time so the pop ups surprised us) and you don't need it. You only need to do the 3 primary quests for Asuran, Norn and Vanguard , and the last two "dwarven" quests (including killing the great destroyer, which gives 7500 dwarven points or 15000 if you did it during the week end

)
