I found this book on the balcony in the cloth armor shop in Dalaran, although strangely when I went back it had disappeared and thus I couldn't read it again, also I can't seem to find any others listed in the achievement.

Thing is, i've found all 4 of the previous ones mentioned, but have yet to get this.

Kommentar von Freakinghigh

Have been waiting for it for many hours -.- slow spawn time

Kommentar von Freakinghigh

It spawned a book there about 18:40 and i waited about 3 hours before another book spawned but it was not the book i was looking for... but i guess that the spawning time is about 3 hours.

Kommentar von 277266

Each bookspawn has a spawntimer of somewhat between 3 and 4 hours. It spawns either a real 'Schools of Arcane Magic'-book, or a 'fake'-book. Spawned books will stay for exactly 3 minutes, in this time the book will be available for everyone, and then it will despawn for another 3-4 hours.

Kommentar von shardin

I camped this book for two days, getting nothing but fake books for 8 spawns. Its getting frustrating, i feel like I'm wasting time.

Kommentar von Chirri

While camping this particular book as a Priest, I'm able to check all of the other books without moving from one spot. All of the other books have NPCs near them, or that patrol near them, at one time or another. The Threads of Fate book is the only one I know of that won't allow me to check from another location through Mind Vision (unless I know someone's sitting near the book for the moment... but camping players come and go)

EDIT: I'm not sure when they did it, but at least as of 3.3.2, there is now an NPC at this location that we can Mind Vision to. Two, actually - Shandy Glossgleam, and Aquanos. This means, finally, we can MV to any book to check on the locations while camping elsewhere. If you've got nothing better to do and still want to head into Threads of Fate to camp here, take a moment just inside the balcony and sit in the brown wooden chair for a quick shoe shine from Shandy's... er, brother?

(Conjuration) Violet Citadel :

/tar Archmage Aethas
/cast Mind Vision

(Divination) While I have MV going on Aethas, I hit another macro to reach the upstairs book :
/tar Zidormi
/cast Mind Vision

(Necromancy, Transmutation) Clicking off Mind Vision, my next macro allows me to check both Legerdemain books via the Assistant Innkeeper as she patrols the building,

/tar Afsaneh
/cast Mind Vision

(Abjuration) The Visitor's Center NPC I use is Betha,

/tar archivist betha
/cast Mind Vision

(Introduction) Leave MV on her, because she allows you to hop over to check the Portal Room NPC --Can also be reached from Afsaneh--,

/tar Archmage Celindra
/Mind Vision

(Illusion) Leave MV on the Archmage as well, because you can now reach the Violet Hold NPC --NOTE: If you no longer need Introduction, you can reach VH through the Visitor's Center NPC as well--

/tar Archmage Timear
/cast Mind Vision

I'm sure there's a more efficient way of doing this (say, from Afsaneh to Celindra to Timear to Betha) but I'm bored out of my mind waiting for the last three books I need and not exactly in top mental condition to reason it out. I hope this is helpful to fellow priests who want this Achievement done, and the critter pet!

Took me about a week of "seriously" hunting down and timing these books. I know I'm one of those players with a lot more time available to me to get an initial timer on the books I still need - I'd encourage anyone to make note of the other characters hunting up books, and sharing any recent timer (within the last day) information with others. Most other players are happy to return the favor, especially when they see you on a regular basis - comrades in books!

Kommentar von AzraxFiretree

I have camped this spot for three days in a row, and this is the information I have gotten from it.

1st day it spawned at 9:18am server time, for the rest of the day it was fake books

2nd day it spawned at 9:16am server time, again the rest of the day had fake books

3rd day it spawned at 9:12am server time and I have stopped from there.

Hope that information helps at all.

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

While you might need to stand from a certain angle to see the box the book lies on (you don't see it from the street below), the book itself will show anyway and seems to float in the air if you don't see the box.

Kommentar von Frill

It is also possible to get the achievement by simply looking at each spawnlocation each time you visit dalaran. That's how I did it - but be warned. It took me about 5 months using this tactic however it was pretty easy to do and didn't feel like a timesink.

So if you don't wanna spend hours watching a bookshelf you can just drop by everytime you're in town. It's bound to happen before the next expansion.

*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!

Just wanted to pass on that I found this book at 8:45pm malorne server time.

Kommentar von Bellar

Below is the quoted text of the book The Schools of Arcane Magic - Enchantment:

Page 1:

<Penned by the skilled hand of Archmage Ansirem Runeweaver>

Page 2:

Enchantment is the process of imbuing an object - or person - with magical power. Some enchantments are temporary, while others offer permanent benefits. Enchanting can be difficult to learn, but is one of the most potentially lucrative forms of magic to study. I highly encourage the study of enchanting, as it is one of the studies of magic least likely to culminate in my own destruction.

Page 3:

Disenchanting is the process of dispelling or removing magic. The dispel magic spell is among the most important in a mage's arsenal, as it can potentially reverse the catastrophic effects of a misfired spell. It is also possible to permanently disenchant a magical item. This produces a unique form of crystallized mana which can be used in the process of imbuing another item with magical abilities. While this can get expensive it is often one of the best ways for a young mage to study the enchanting process.

anyone know if this book has been moved? The Quel'Delar quest guy Shandy Glossgleam has his washing strewn about.

Kommentar von 557353

ive found and red all of the books besides this one.
i did find many fakes including all of those listed above atleast 2 times each.
the best time to find these books is in the morning while everyone else is still asleep :D

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 Wamba681

It seems like this book is taking a while to spawn. I've had my toon sitting in Dalaran for the greater part of a week, and not seen this one yet. Knowing my luck, however, it probably spawns when I'm not online, just to spite me.

Kommentar von 606253

Interestingly enough, the Warcraft school of Enchantment seems to be completely unrelated to the D&D school, which is about mind-affecting spells, and instead covers the profession.

Kommentar von Strokr

I've been here about a week now, with no luck at all ... only one I need :(

Kommentar von Kiruvi

I've also been camping this book for over a week, as it's the last one I need. I've seen upwards of fifteen or twenty spawns, every single time a junk book. Has anybody seen this book since patch 4.0? Perhaps it's broken...

Kommentar von wheels010

can npcScan work with this book, only one 1 need left

Kommentar von Purrrple

Started finally going for this achievement to get the pet.

Day 1: I found a fake book at 8.51am, then nothing until 3.52pm when the real book spawned. Another fake one appeared at 7.34pm.

Day 2: Real book was there at 8.40am, then fake books at 11.55am and 3.45am. Nothing else even when I logged off at 11pm.

Day 3: The real book spawned at 12.40pm, so for me this book spawned on each of the three days which is when I got the achievement.

Kommentar von Nastasjja

Camping this book for 2days. Waited for any book to spawn then went off to do my own thing for about 3hours as it says a book spawns every 3 1/2 hours. When I went back a little less then 3hours to the spawn point a book spawned shortly after exactly at what was the 3hour mark since I last saw a book. This book was not the book I needed though so I waited another 3hours assuming the time was exactly every 3hours and not the 3 1/2 I had heard said here many times. The book didn't spawn at the 3 hour mark and I waited a extra 30minutes and there it was. Luckily the book that spawned was the Enchantment one I needed and I didn't come back to camp ever again so I'm not sure if it alternates between 3hours and 3 1/2, or if its completely random. My advice is just make sure your there slightly before 3hrs to be safe.

1st Aug - Fake at 9:39pm
2nd - Fake book at 8:58pm
3rd - Fake book at 11:33am & real book spawned at 3:25pm :) One book left!

Kommentar von 733675

Was missing 3 books...tonight and...

Just arrive at dalaran then i found Introduction at the spawn point. Yay 2 left!
Then going to the Divination spot and found "On the virtues to magic" Booo still 2 left.. :(
Finaly going to the enchantment spot and it spawns after 1 minute! YAY 1 left

What a luck! :)

It was on runetotem realm at 8:40 pm!

Kommentar von Issalice

As this was the last book I needed I decided, I to camp for it. Typically I just log in every few hours and check if the books were up.

I can confirm a book spawns every 3-3 1/2ish hours in this location. Below are the times. I am so happy I stayed up for one last spawn, finally got my achieve.

Server Time Real Time
9:43 pm ..... 6:43 pm
1:08 am ..... 9:08 pm
4:11 am ..... 1:11 am
7:50 am ..... 4:50 am

It appears to follow a pattern. The spawn times switches between 3 hours and 3 1/2 hours, a little bit more for the last spawn it seem, about 3 hours 40 minutes, which was the real book spawn time.

Kommentar von 1456400

I've been looking to complete this achievment for 1 month and this is the last book I need.
I never seen any book in this location until today, when I found there one of the "fake books".
I think this is the hardest to find.
