Doing something wrong? 01/04/2007 11:07 AM CST
Hi, I just got my spellbook that I've been saving for forever, and now I study the whole thing, and don't even get to thoughtful. I figured this would help alot with my scholarship training but maybe I'm doing something wrong. Bout 85 ranks in scholarship so maybe thats the problem but I don't know. Any help would be appreciated.

Spellbooks should teach effectively to 200+ ranks.

Are you lore primary, secondary, or tertiary?

Are you turning the spellbook to chapter one, then page 1, page 2, etc, then chapter 2? The only thing I can think of is you're studying the same couple pages.

Nope, all 6 chapters each page only once, and literally I just finished, never hit thoughtful once and only gained about 2% (which is about average if I'm only learning.) I don't know I'll wait about 10 min, then try again.

And I'm lore primary, an empath if that matters.

You are turning it to a separate page and then using STUDY MY SPELLBOOK and getting a 30-40 second roundtime, correct?

Correct, and actually to make sure I'm turning to a new page I'm reading it first. Maybe I just hadn't run out the timer the last time who knows...

It's possible you're on a post wall rank and draining too fast to catch up

Should still be getting to a decent mind state at 85 ranks though. The 2% learning is a giveaway it isn't teaching. I still get about 6% per read over 300 ranks with a moon mage spellbook.

Could you post a brief log of what you're doing? It sounds like you're doing everything right. I wouldn't know what to tell you beyond the obvious timer/study/awake stuff.

>> with a moon mage spellbook.

This is key.

Empaths have far fewer spells than Moon Mages. I'm wagering it's an Empath spellbook, which means by default it will not teach as much.

Word. My empath spellbook is for me, my moonmage spellbook is for business.

Well, I waited about 15 min and added "my" into my script and now I'm learning just fine, got to about perplexing by the time I was done studying the whole thing and gained about 20%(didn't pay attention exactly) by the time I was done draining out. So thanks for the help everybody.

That's something I've wondered... can you fit two spellbooks into the spellbook compartment of one case?

Nope, one spellbook per case.

You can probably wear 4 of them, although I have never had more than 2 on my belt at once. ;)

And I know that I have seen people pull their spellbook cases out of another container, so I have no idea how many with only a spellbook in the case will fit into a backpack...
