Reward from the achievement : Higher Learning

Kommentar von Slavaa

Use this book to achieve higher learning.

How does this book teach you higher learning? Why it teleports you into the tallest spires of Dalaran of course.

*Crickets*

Tough crowd

And there's a typo on it: This spell only work in the City of Dalaran.

Sounds like an ogre wrote it.

Edit: In beta (and possibly in early live) this typo was present, but I'm keeping it here because it's funny.

Ironic that the representation of a lifelong quest for becoming well read results in a tome with obvious grammar problems.

Kommentar von katora

I notice that this doesn't say Bind on Pickup, is it tradeable? Or this is an oversight that will be fixed before live. Otherwise I see no reason why I couldn't do this on bank alts, and sell this in trade chat.

Kommentar von Hazu

Of possibly only trivial interest: I checked the map whilst in Archmage Vargoth's Retreat, and his chamber seems to occupy the summit of the southern tower of the Violet Citadel - the tower on the left as you face the Citadel on the front steps. It's opposite the Purple Parlor and essentially the same size, but higher up.

There's a non-functional door in the chamber, but according to the map, it would open to the outside of the tower rather than into the central spire. If you look up whilst in the chamber, you can see a ring of bookshelves below a blue stained-glass skylight, so he seems to be right at the top.

Edit: I did a visual survey from way back at the Violet Hold with a Spyglass, and his doorway does indeed seem to open onto a balcony. It would seem the only way he can reach his chambers is to teleport there - no wonder he says he's lonely!

Achievement:

Reward:
(Use the book to teleport to a room on top of the Violet Citadal and speak with: Archmage Vargoth)

Archmage Vargoth will reward you with:

Req: (Read the following books, all located throughout Dalaran)

Info:

The books are on spawn timers anywhere from 3 hours to 4 hours

Each book only spawns in one location (so once you find it you do not need to keep checking that location)

Book spawn times are shared with non-achievement books (so you may see a book spawn and it will not be the one you need)

Each location seems to have 2-3 other books (non-achievement) which spawn in that location (randomly)

If you read the book it will disappear within 3min (resetting the spawn timer)

If you do not read the book it will disappear within 5min (resetting the spawn timer)

If an achievement book does spawn, more than one player can read the book and get the credit for reading it. (if they read it within 3min of the first person who read it)

When I find a book I announce it within trade chat so if other would like to read it they can (providing they can get to it within 3min)

Ask around if others are looking for books, group up, spread out to keep your eyes on multiple locations, share spawn timer info (this greatly reduces the amount of running around)

Books (locations):

Location: Dalaran Visitor Center (52.2,55.5), on the floor to the right as you go in, in front of the little table with books on it

Location: Violet Citadel (30.9,46.3), group of bookcases on the right as you go in, Bottom of the left bookcase.

Location: Violet Citadel (26.5,51.7), Up the stairs to the left, on the floor in front of the bookcase, next to the sands of time portal.

Location: Threads of Fate (Cloth Armor shop)(43.6,47.1), Go up stairs out on the balcony on top of a crate to your right as you walk out onto the balcony.

Location: Violet Hold (64.5,52.8), as you go in head to the left and against the wall on the left crate, next to Archmage Timear.

Location: Violet Gate (Crystal Portal)(56.7,46.1), to your right as you enter (northern bookcase) on the floor in front of bookcase.

Location: Legerdermain Lounge (46.9,39.1), Upstairs west room, empty bookcase

Location: Legerdermain Lounge (46.9,39.8), 1st floor western bookcase near the door

Kommentar von Inexorability

To leave the room, use the book again and it will teleport you back to the bottom of the Violet Citadel.

Kommentar von DarthRahn

This item was recently patched to BOP. You can not sell it.

Kommentar von kilorat

What's in the room you get teleported to? Anything cool?

Kommentar von Caedo

Is the room an instance? Because if you got a few locks in there at the same time and summoned some people...

Kommentar von Corepoint

If you need to delete the book for any reason you can, in fact, receive another one by speaking to Rhonin in the Violet Citadel

Kommentar von holytotemic

if you had been paying attention to the posts you dont need the hearth stone....you just click the book again...

Kommentar von 111337

/way 64.5 52.8 Illusion
/way 56.7 46.1 Introduction
/way 46.9 39.1 Necromancy

Kommentar von thephoenix3000

You need to complete the achievement to receive the pet, A warlock summon will bring you to the room, but you will not get the pet from talking to Archmage Vargoth.

Kommentar von 38461

And Archmage Vargoth is exactly the same Vargoth you save at a long quest serie in Netherstorm.

Kommentar von 221343

Since patch 3.0.8 there is a loading screen when teleporting in or out Vargoth's Retreat.

Kommentar von Veyska

Higher Learning

Congratulations on completing your studies on The Schools of Arcane Magic. In recognition of your dedication, I'm enclosing this special volume completing the series.

I believe you'll find this tome particularly entertaining. But I'll leave that for your discovery.

Sincerely,

Rhonin

Kommentar von 86033

Amazing! There are passages in here that I have never seen before. This must have taken quite a while for you to track down. If you ever find anymore books like this, I would like to be notified immediately.

Please take one of my Kirin Tor Familiars with you just in case you stumble across anything.

Kommentar von Phraid

I found a way to get to the room without having the book, but it seems he won't give you the pet without it. QQ!
Anyway, have fun finding the books. =D

Kommentar von 328751

>.< Only usable in the City of Dalaran. Be sure to know this, someone I know did this achievement just to find out they weren't getting another hearthstone. lol

Kommentar von 306957

Is there some other reason to port to the Archmage's room other than to get your Kirin Tor Familiar pet from him?

Kommentar von Deet580

Hey I'm interested in what this place looks like could any of you people who have please post a video on it :D
thank you

Kommentar von stormeh

Lately what I have done is create a couple of macros that I use when I don't want to be disturbed while I wait for raid or something.

Macro 1 - Leave all channels, port up to Violet Citadel, ahhh, peace and serenity.

Macro 2 - Reverse everything I just did, arghhhhh, chaos and trade chat.

Kommentar von 465890

This 'tome' should be made into a key, don't really want to delete it, but that is 1 slot I could use for other stuff in my bank

Kommentar von shadowdragon986

Let's just hope that he doesn't break his glasses...

After all, he has all the time in the world.

Kommentar von Unlocky

Edit: During Wrath of The Lichking this little trick was the shizzle since Dalaran was the idle-hub for both factions. Since the release of Cataclysm, Dalaran is practically desserted. The Schools of Arcane Magic - Mastery is still a fun vanity item, though.

Ever since I obtained The Schools of Arcane Magic - Mastery I've been teleporting to the tower whenever I want to log out for a while.

Completely lag free and easy way to log into Dalaran :D

Kommentar von 569209

You can check out but you can never leave.......Seems that Vargoth has exchanged one jail for another......with only books to read for all eternity.....and no scrying orb to watch TV....NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO! NOW WHO KNOWS WHAT THE DALARAN DESTROYERS WILL DO?:

Kommentar von 577429

Hands up who have flown to a tower in dalaran, dismounted and got stuck, unable to fly off, having to jump down and suffer 10 minutes rs. If you happen to get stuck with this in your bag, you can use it to teleport out. It teleports you here.

Kommentar von 634790

The Questhelper addon also has the locations for the books. In your achievement window you can select whether or not you want qh to show the locations.
It only keeps track of the books you haven't read yet, which can help a lot.

Kommentar von armyguy1893

Funny that you mention it, but in the quest chain in Netherstorm where you craft the staff to be able to speak with Archmage Vargoth's Image, when you speak to him, he says "Some scry to remember, some scry to forget". Awesome Hotel California quest chain :D

Kommentar von Divyraen

This item can be used down in the Dalaran Sewers.

It can also be used during combat, namely duels.

Its cast time can also be easily fit into the duration of a Divine Shield.

See where I am going?

Kommentar von 729779

When you use this item and are teleported to the Archmage's study, talk to him to get a pet, Kirin Tor Familiar.
Makes more worthwhile the reward of the Higher learning achievement

Kommentar von 914203

if i delete this book,can i get it again? how?

Kommentar von SpareSimian

I nominate this for the toy box.

Kommentar von cansatic

Does the book still have anything useful? Should i keep it or throw it away?

Kommentar von Eido

This item is scheduled to be a Toy in Legion.

This item will become a Toy in Legion! Pack rats rejoice!

LEGION TELEPORTER TOYS

Below is a list of teleportation devices that are being turned into Toys come Legion.

Kommentar von Karp7

This item is becoming a toy in Legion!
EDIT:
Due to the popularity of this tool I have created a Wowhead guide! Check it out and feel free to leave suggestions for me in the comments :)
New Toys - Old Items Converting to Toys
I figured it's better now than later to start farming the old items that will be converted to toys in Legion. Who knows if they'll lower drop rates or how heavily they will be camped once they're added to the toybox.
I made myself a Google Sheets document to track all the toys being converted and it has the ability to mark off the item once you've found it. With the filters I can then hide any marked off toys. This has really helped me find and track the long list of items and I wanted to share it with the community. I've heavily cleaned it up for sharing purpose, so feel free to use it as you please!

Follow this link: https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/13HqKWInr7Tj-tBGrySJWhMyWL6dN5JfWDIJO7BKHc1c/edit?usp=sharing

This will add an editable copy of the spreadsheet to your drive!

Alternatively you can download it as a .xlxs or .ods file, but I haven't checked this for compatibility.

Happy hunting :)

Kommentar von Manniala

Anyone know if you get this again if you have deleted it, i had no space and was kinda useless so deleted it :/

Kommentar von SykoDK

7.0 If you lost this, go to Dalaran and speak with Rhonin, he will provide it to you at no charge as long as you have the achievement.

Kommentar von Dragomir

This seems broken as of 7.0, unless it's usable in new Dalaran. It says "You are in the wrong zone." when I try to use this item in old Dalaran.

Kommentar von Hamsters

I do not recommend using this item in live. You will fall to your death.

Kommentar von Geldorath

I decided to use the item in the new Dalaran over Kharazan.

All I can say is - it does not really work as it should.

Kommentar von Timius

Do not use in pre-legion Kharazan version of Dalaran, it will be usable, but it will port you where the tower of archmage vargoth is supposed to be, and you wil lfall to the ground and die horribly :)

Kommentar von Omnisom

As of now, using this item in the Dalaran above Karazhan during the Legion pre-patch teleports you high into the air above the violet citadel. Make sure you have some fall mitigation if you use it. Otherwise it's a great way to get a boost with goblin gliders.

Edit: I tried this on an alt and noticed that it didn't work before completing the Khadgar event quests. Tried again after quests, and it no longer seems to work. :( Hopefully once Dal is moved they will make this toy great again.

Edit2: This will also function in legion Dalaran as of 11/5/16

Kommentar von Frozenkex

There is no exit in the room you are teleported to, but the toy has no cooldown, so just use it again to get back.

Kommentar von twosheds76

This does work in Dalaran - Broken Isles.

There appears to be nothing in the room other than chairs to sit in and the doorway is shut so you cannot walk out.

If you use the item again while in the room it will teleport you just outside of the Violet Citadel.

Kommentar von Psybion

This toy works in new Dalaran. It will teleport you to Archmage Vargoth's Retreat. It's an empty room, but there is one thing that is neat about it: if you are a mage, you actually go there during the class order hall campaign. During this quest, you are teleported up to the circular balcony outside of the room by another archmage and proceed by opening the door and going inside. After you complete the quest, this door remains clickable. So as long as you're a mage who has completed that part of the order hall campaign you can always use this toy to get back up, open the door, and step out onto the balcony that overlooks Dalaran. No real use besides getting up high to slowfall long distances, but it's really neat.

Kommentar von Roija

As of Legion, you can open the door, but only as a Mage.

I have tried it on my Priest and Demon Hunter but the door is not interact-able. On my Mage however, the door is. This could have something to do with the Mage Campaign quest where you have to go in here and search his room.

Kommentar von giga

If you use this while in the original Dalaran location (now called Dalaran Crater) in Hillsbrad Foothills you will be ported high above Deadwind Pass and will fall to your death unless you have some way of slowing your fall.

Kommentar von ladymysla

If you have done the achievement on a different character, you need to be on that character to talk to Archmage Vargoth to get the pet. Otherwise he just welcomes you to his little place. I took a break between getting the book and the pet and was really confused on why I couldn't get it -_-'
