inside The Violet Gate, lower level, near a bookshelf

Introduction spawned for me on the floor by the bookshelf in Archmage Celindra's room, the one with the portal down to Crystalsong Forest.

Kommentar von Narezza

Seems to be apprearing in those locations approximately every 3.20 hours. In the past 2 days, I've found this book, or a fake book, in The Violet Gate, at approximately 3:10am, 6:24am, and 9:50am. I am trying to keep track of where they are and their spawn times.

If anyone has any additional information, post it up!

OMG, this book is !@#$ing me off. Does ~THE~ book show up every 3-4 hours, or does ~A~ book (like the stupid "The Worst Mage in Dalaran") show up every 3-4 hours?

Is there a chance that this book won't even show up in a day?

I'm going to punch Blizzard. In the face.

Kommentar von Winterchild

This book shares a spawn spot with The Worst Mage in Dalaran: A Children's Book.

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

The Real book spawned for me at 7:25pm

Kommentar von 186945

so if you read all the books for the achievement you basically get a free hearth to dalaran?

Do books and/or fake books ever NOT spawn? I have Higher Learning and Dalaran University and I'm in the chat channel.. and I stood and waited at the spots listed above (and with the addons)... and so far NOTHING.

Kommentar von Lastemperor

This is the last book I need and Im starting to think that this one has a lower chance of spawning real book :( 9 fakes in a row, maybe its just me being extremely unlucky..

Kommentar von Chocopie

The Archmage Antonidas - Part III spawns here too.
The Worst Mage in Dalaran: A Children's Book spawns here too.

Kommentar von 429982

Also spawned a fake at 4:55pm or earlier. I got to it at 4:55.

*Achievement*
Dalaran

I also posted pictures of a map of all the locations of the books as well as pictures of each specific location the books spawn so you know where to look. Good luck and happy hunting!

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Introduction
Violet Gate : Right side of Archmage Celindra on the floor next to the bookshelf
{Coords 56.7, 45.6}

The Schools of Arcane Magic – Abjuration
Dalaran Visitor Center : Right side of room, on the floor next to the table
{Coords 52.3, 54.8}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Conjuration
Lower Violet Citadel : Right side of room (to the right of Archmage Aethas Sunreaver), Lower left bookshelf
{Coords 30.7, 46}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Divination
Upper Violet Citadel : Upstairs on the floor between the book shelves that are to the left of Zidormi and the Caverns of Time portal.
{Coords 26.5, 52.3}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Enchantment
Upper balcony of Threads of Fate : Go inside and up the stairs on the right side as you walk in, continue up until you are on the balcony. Face the door way and it will be on a crate on the left side.
{Coords 43.5, 46.7}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Illusion
Violet Hold : Go in and then left. It’s on a crate to the right of Archmage Timear *Regular dungeon daily quest giver* (to the right as you are looking at him)
{Coords 64.4, 52.4}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Necromancy
Upper Legerdemain Lounge: Go upstairs and to the right in the bedroom with four beds. It will be on the bookshelf against the wall on the second shelf from the top.
{Coords 46.8, 39.1}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Transmutation
Lower Legerdemain Lounge : Bottom floor on the right bookshelf across from the bar (next to the stove) it will be on the second shelf from the top
{Coords 46.8, 40}

I suggest you get an addon from Curse.com called Dalaran University. It’s simple to use and will help you keep track of when each book may spawn. Just keep in mind, books can spawn as a “real” or “fake” book in each specific location. A fake book that spawns counts (on timers) as a real book, so you will have to wait another 3-4 hours for a chance a real book will spawn.

I hope this helps! Good luck getting your Loremaster title and your Kirin Tor Familiar non-combat pet!

Waited for over 3 hours staring at the floor to get this book, then was rewarded with a fake book spawn. Thanks, Blizzard, for making this achievement nearly impossible.

Kommentar von faith1ntheknife

Here's a quick video I put together showing how the rewards for the Higher Learning achievement plays out!

I'm guessing that there may be a 25 or so minute timer on the set of books till one book spawn. At that point the book stays in existence for up to 5 minutes (But could be less if someone reads it first), and then the 25ish minute timer is reset for another book to spawn. That would explain a 240 minute (3.5 hour) cycle with semi-random timing, but it would also assume that all of the books would have spawned and despawned within that time frame.

Kommentar von precise

I have confirmed that all books respawn after a restart. We had rolling restarts just now, after 5 restarts on 2 hours, I got the last 3 books I needed. Kinda lucky, considering the chances of duds. :>

Kommentar von 528502

with the release of cataclysm this achiev is easier because nobody is in dalaran anymore

Kommentar von Lolus

Been trying for 10 days, I've only seen fake books in that place and they seem to appear 2-3 times a day

Kommentar von 818221

It took me 15 min to complete this achievement, thanks to your help! XDDD

Kommentar von Crayolah

All I found was the children's book.
I found it quite funny :)

Kommentar von snafu2480

Ive been trying this achievement with a friend for about 4 days now and we both just need introduction. The spawn timer for each book is 3-4 hours and if you work it out its 27 or 32 hours when all the books are apparently suppose to spawn in one whole day. This must mean that one of the 8 books has to overlap. Wondering if this is introduction as we havent seen it. Has anyone had this problem? Also worked out a possible cycle for the books.
Conjuration, abjuration, divination and transmutation share a spawn cycle.
and Necromancy, enchantment, illusion and introduction been on the other cycle and introduction been the odd one out.
not sure its just a thought let me know if you agree or have any suggestions

Kommentar von Purrrple

I was lucky enough when trying to go for this achievement, that my first book to find was this one.

Day 1: It was there at 8.21am. Fake books then spawned at 12.16pm, 3.54pm and 7.40pm... so roughly a 4 hour respawn time.

Day 2: It was there again first thing at 8.19am. Then an almost 8 hour wait for fake books at both 3.56pm and 10.05pm.

Day 3: 11.04am was a fake book, then the real one spawned at 2.22pm.

So for me it spawned on each of the three days, which is when I completed the achievement.

- Page 2 -
The wondrous gift of magic can be bent to many purposes. We the learned have found that it is easiest to divide the eldritch arts into eight different categories in order to further understand the fundamentals of magic itself. Each of these categories is known as a school of magic, for they are often learned separately and mages frequently choose to specialize in one type or another. Other mages attempt to master all forms of magic, but few have achieved this lofty goal. Within this tome we will discuss each individual school of magic and some of their notable practitioners.

- Page 3 -

All schools of magic can be combined to create formidable spells that utilize multiple sources of power. Some of these potent spells are discussed later in this series of books, but beware, combining multiple types of magic can be extremely dangerous - especially for beginners.

Here you will learn the basics of all schools of magic. Please remember that magic is not to be abused. Do not practice magic without the appropriate supervision.

I saw fit to transcribe the book here again, as the only other transcription I found was in a reply and, due to the recent format change, clipped.

so esay quest

I've been at this for over a week. Found out about the spawning so I log on to toon every few hours to check the location of the book. Also read that restarts seem to spawn the books so maybe shutdown did too. I logged on this morning & found two of the others. 12:41pm I found a fake. Ah, 8:34pm the next day I got it :)

Tip: You can go to different realms and try find another tome if the one you are looking for isn't on yours.

Kommentar von S7anP

If you are dedicated to get this achievement done, realmhopping is the way to do it. Server Hop is a great addon for that purpose. I personally feel like I'm cheating, but oh well...

Got 5 of the books I needed in less than an hour, 3 more remain. I hope this comment helps and happy bookhunting! :)

Kommentar von SparkOfHope

just a heads up that I found 2 of these books on one search run.
