 Article Stub

This article is marked as a stub for the following reason:

  • Books still to be discovered
  • Clarification needed on how "dropped" books are obtained
Not to be confused with Lost Books.

Books are used to give players advantages, such as powers, XP, and quality-of-life updates like seeing sell prices.

You can always check which powers you have in the section Special Items & Powers of the player tab.

When reading a book giving experience in a certain skill, players will earn 250 XP in that skill after reading the book along with a message saying "You have learned a few things about [skill]."
