Elven Poetry Book.gif Elven Poetry Book

It weighs 13.00 oz.
It contains a collection of beautiful elven poems.

Nowadays collecting books is some kind of a hobby for tibia players, this particular book is part of  ''The Explorer Society Quest''.

I was wondering is it possible to obtain it after I finish the quest? If not is there a way to start with another character and obtain more than one book?

Best answer

I tried doing this mission myself without spoilers and found the answer to this question. At the beginning of the mission, Angus says that someone in Ab'Dendriel is definitely in possession of a copy of the book 'Songs of the Forests'.

Following that lead, I asked some NPCs if they knew anything about the book. The right person turned out to be Elvith. He told me where I should look for this book.

Elvith told me where to look for the book, but advised me against going to hellgate. So there should be another way to get the book. If you have pulled a book from hellgate before then you can buy a copy.

Elvith offered to resell me a copy of this book. Well, and I bought several copies of the 'Songs of the forsest' smiley

Back to your question, to get more than one copy of Elven Poetry Book we need to buy them from Elvith during the quest after pulling the book from the chest on hellgate. The keyword when buying the book is 'Elven Poetry'. The book costs 500gp and we can only buy it during the quest. Unfortunately, once you give the book to the mission giver, Elvith will no longer have a copy of the book.

Transcripts:

20:11 Mogh [344]: Songs of the Forest

20:11 Elvith: The last issue I had was bought by Randor Swiftfinger. He was banished through the hellgate and probably took the book with him ...

20:11 Elvith: I would not recommend seeking him or the book there, but of course it is possible.

20:11 Mogh [344]: Elven Poetry

20:11 Elvith: By luck I acquired another copy of the book you are looking for. Do you want to buy a copy of 'songs of the forest' for 500 gold?

20:11 Mogh [344]: yes

20:11 Elvith: Thank you. Here it is.

Thank you. But I'll be honest and admit something. Surely someone has figured this out before.After doing the quest and answering the question, I found on Tibia Wiki that the book can be bought.

But there is no such information in any of the quest spoilers I've read. Strange. Anyway, you're right, this knowledge might be useful for someone, especially decorators.

It really shouldn't be possible to buy the book before getting the one in Hellgate. These options are only supposed to be there as a fail-safe in case the player loses their original book. If that's possible then that's actually a bug.

You're right. On the character I was checking I had this mission started years ago. I may have pulled that book out of the chest at some point. That's why I corrected my answer and added the Tibia Wiki source. Thanks.

Thanks for the confirmation, I was considering testing just to be sure. ;P Yet, for the purpose of collecting the book for decoration it still works very well, so the answer is correct.
