This item does NOT share and no one but the original looters gets it.

It blows. :)

In Stormwin you need to go at 74,7 point.

Kommentar von Lohikaarme

Horde players can pick this book up too. Sadly they can't accept the quest. It says "That quest is not available to your race."
Would've been a good reason to infiltrate Stormwind :P

Sadly this never dropped for me after a full completion of Duskwood. Doubt it is worth the farm either

Kommentar von 138654

This is not an item you want to farm for...

Just cross your fingers while you are questing in Duskwood, since it may drop from almost any mob in that zone.

Kommentar von Ailindah

As this item is one of two ways for players to know to goto Southshore (following the game and quest progression that is) they should consider upping the drop rate. Usually by the time players get to Southshore they have leveled past it's usefulness.

Kommentar von 525797

Dropped easily after killing about 25 ghouls in Raven Hill. Useful quest toward Loremaster achievement.

Kommentar von 626045

This item will converted to Solid Gold Coin if you transfer to Horde.

What?

Kommentar von Arikan

Oddly enough, this item still drops though the corresponding quest has been removed (presumably during the zone revamp in Cataclysm). Can't be sold, though still useful for nostalgia and filling excess bag space.

any 1 got any clue what 2 do wit it? i just got it today on my worgen and didnt even try ive got no idea what 2 do wit it.

Kommentar von Taav

This item still drops. It use to offer a level 20 quest asking you to turn in the book at the library in Stormwind. The quest is no longer in game. This item is just bag space now.

Kommentar von SomaTGW

Could atleast have been readable..

Kommentar von MABGamer6407

Dropped off one of the robers in a little camp in Duskwood, The hushed bank. Near the Border of the Forest. Forget the name but it was a group of Robers by a fire.

Kommentar von 1071054

I needed the bag slot but when I tried to dump it the prompt read, "Do you want to destroy An Old History Book?" This made me very sad. I hope they give it a quest. Just a simple turn-in would be fine with me, saving a book is it's own reward. Hmm, that sounded better in my head....

Kommentar von WaterCherry

What does this item serve?

Kommentar von Galadius

I just looted this from a Fetid Corpse while in Duskwood questing for my twink rogue. I guess it is in the game, I cannot see a purpose of any kind however.

Kommentar von mpjunk

If memory serves correctly this item sent you on a quest to Hillsbrad.

Kommentar von kengt45

The item still drops in Duskwood, dropped for me today :-)

Kommentar von marc2241

you can still get this item i got it on my rogue today

Kommentar von Rez0Rex

This item is still available in-game as a drop in Darkshire; I found it as an Alliance Pandaren there from a Fetid Corpse.

However it has no resale value at all, and has no apparent use.
As far as I can see, the quest that involves this item is what doesn't exist anymore.

Shame I have no intention of swapping to Horde on the account I got it on. X___X For the gold it's almost worth it.
But until Blizzard introduce cross-faction mailing... It's useless to me.

Kommentar von Lalow

as of 1/17/14 i pick it up from a undead flesh eater it junk but can be good for role play

Kommentar von sniper92

Started a new character and this item dropped. Reminded me of that old quest which leads to Southshore. That was one of my favorite zones in classic and TBC. I have put a lot of time into enjoying this game so I guess I'm entitled to be nostalgic. I'll hang onto this "Old History Book" for awhile.

Kommentar von 555435

To say "This item is no longer available within the game" is absolutely incorrect. It just dropped for me off of one of the Vul'Gol ogres in Duskwood on 2/17/2014.

It may no longer be useful for anything, but that is a totally different thing from being no longer available.

Kommentar von Farstucker

Confirmed drop 5.4.8 7/8/14 by Grave Robber mob 8, 33 loc.

Kommentar von Jesi309

I remember getting this at the end of a quest in Duskwood with a character I brought through. I just received another copy of this book last night with another of my characters that I'm leveling in the area.
If the book is not supposed to be apart of the game anymore, why are people still getting them? Unless I'm the only one to get the book still which I kind of doubt since I'm not the only person leveling through Duskwood.

Kommentar von 1399348

I just got one farming cloth from the undead in the graveyard...

Kommentar von 1266463

Just pick-pocketed this thing up today, 27 Nov, 2014. Still available int he game, does nothing though.

Kommentar von MrHildebrand

Dropped from the Den mother rare in Roland's Doom in Duskwood.

Kommentar von alucard001

I just got one from an undead of Duskwood

Kommentar von mudplayerx

Junk.

Kommentar von BMHunterMain

Still drops in Duskwood as of 4/25/2015

Kommentar von GooBrains

Anyone have any ideas what quest this thing used to start? Right now it's pretty much only useful for Roleplaying a Loremaster or a student of some sort.

Kommentar von Vyncent1982

This listing is LONG over do for correcting. Please note that the Book IS still in the game, but the quest associated with it, however, has been removed. As of just now, I got it in Duskwood off of a Vul'gol Ogre, and has been cited by many here, it DOES still drop in Duskwood.

Kommentar von NBTF

Still drops as of 08-27-2015.
Patch 6.2

Got on a Horde char, good for taking up space, BOP and unsaleable.

Kommentar von LukeOwens

Still dropping today. Got it from a Worgen. All I can do is destroy it....

There are times Blizz is just stupid....

Kommentar von Wuatdah

i just looted this on my horde from killing a random zombie in the crypt.

Kommentar von Groovin

Still dropping as of today (Halls of Lightning for me). Comforting to know they are still there if wanted :P

Kommentar von Macmagotty

As of 6.2.3, a dummy item with the same name drops, but no longer gives the quest Ein altes Geschichtsbuch (obsolete). In my experience, if you delete it, it will drop continuously from undead mobs in Duskwood, especially in the Raven Hill Cemetery and the catacombs beneath it.

Update: As of 8.1.0, Ein altes Geschichtsbuch still drops from undead mobs in Duskwood. Updating my advice, to avoid constant drops-and-delete, keep it in your bags until you are finished questing in Duskwood, then delete it with confidence.

Kommentar von dslocknel00

just got it on my hunter while trying to see if lightning paw spawned

Kommentar von lewagalikopaka

got it on 9/14/2017

Kommentar von Sklatscht

As of September 2017, this Item still drops. Got it dropped in Duskwood, no quest and no selling price for it tho.

Kommentar von waterdrinkerr

7.3.5 and it still drops. I kept it in my bag for 20 levels, it's a history book for god's sake

Kommentar von DiseasedYak

Dropped for me today in Duskwood. Had to look it up, and now I'm sad. I may hang onto it for a while...

Kommentar von Califree

The quest for this used to have the player return the book to Stormwind Library.

I think that quest should be returned to the game, but with an update for 2018: When you tell the librarian about how you found the book, s/he should accuse you of lying, and demand you pay a humongous fine for it being so long overdue.

Option One: Pay the fine and leave the book with the librarian.

Option Two: Get so mad that you storm out of the library, then go someplace designated an Antique Shop (how about the old Bag Vendor?), and sell the book for ten times what the fine would have been.

Kommentar von Shadow12000

The least they could do is make it vendor for 1 gold since it turns into a gray item that vendors for a gold if you transfer to Horde.

Kommentar von NeonDisease

Just looted this on a Horde toon in patch 8.0

Kommentar von Califree

In Battle for Azeroth, this is still useless, and still worthless. If you're holding onto this item "just in case" it becomes sellable some day, do yourself a favor and dump it. At least you'll gain a bag or bank slot.

Kommentar von Therryn

Just dropped off a Duskwood ogre

Kommentar von Jackintus

Still drops as of 13/08/2019

Kommentar von duffy1

As of 4/8/2019 it dropped from a fetid corpse in Duskwood.

Kommentar von Igorath

Still drops as of 03/22/20 on horde character. Inside catacombs in the first pit to the left.

Kommentar von HighlanderBoots

Dropped for my Void Elf Rogue at Raven Hill. It may have come off of Mor'Ladim himself.

Although by now, this comment section is the readable part of this History Book...
Or maybe just the notes in the margins.

Kommentar von KylliWoW

Dropped for me today at the Vul'Gol Ogre Mound in Dustwood.
The tl:dr version of this comment section is that the book used to be part of a quest, the quest has been removed for now.

Kommentar von ArticSkoll

still drops as of 9.0.x off a zombie right outside manor mistmantle while doing balance artifact quest line

Kommentar von DCCXVIII

Still drops as of 9.2.7. At this stage think it safe to say that Blizz is never gonna actually bother to remove it as a rando world drop. Just some vestige of a quest that no longer exists. So you can go ahead and delete it with impunity.

Kommentar von LukeOwens

I can't believe this! Not only is this book still in the game and questless, but I just got it off a dinosaur in Stranglethorn! How long are they going to hold on to this useless item or at least put a quest on it? Make it sellable, at the very least!

Kommentar von Aescwicca

Just got one off a zombie in Raven Hill, Duskwood on 29 July 2023.

Kommentar von erro3

*Ahem* (In Rhonin's voice):

Fellow Wowhead users! Raise your eyes to the comment section and observe!
Today, this book still continues to drop in the year 2024.
Blizzard, maker of WoW, continues to leave this no longer usable item in game for brave adventurers to find.
Blizzard sundered our world with the Cataclysm.
But they left behind Ein altes Geschichtsbuch to remind us of what came before.
Cold logic deemed this book no longer worthy of use in the newly shaped world. Cold logic, however, did not account for players' curiosity about this item.
It is up to each of us to prove this is a book worth saving.
That this book... was a book worth reading.
