Achievement: Well Read



Over half of the books listed in the Well Read Achievement are found in three dungeons: Scholomance carries the greatest amount of books, followed by Live Stratholme and Scarlet Monastery: Library. Some are found in multiple places. I don't have ALL multiples listed, but I will list known multiples.

(The Horde do have their own list where books that seem Alliance exclusive are found in Horde controlled areas or cities. However, I cannot confirm those places... as I have no Hordelings. However, if you're trying to find those locations, wowhead is a great source for the locations. Yes, wowhead does have things in it other than cool gear links.)

  1. Wow! Thank you K! I will have to work on this while visiting candy buckets, and then finish it off once I am done working on my Hallow's End stuff. I feel kinda sorry for the Horde since it looks like most of the books are in Alliance areas. Does the Horde just read magazines and coloring books or something?

    Exactly! We Horde sit around coloring all day in Undercity. You should see Sylvanas' refridgerator!

  3. Everyplace that is in an Alliance area does have a corresponding area in Horde controlled territories or towers or areas. :)

    However, I only play Alliance, so I can't confirm those places where they say 'In Stonard' or some other place like that.

    And ... the Horde don't read magazines (or books!). They use the books as toilet paper. Causes less rash than the thornbush leaves of the Barrens. *ouch* :D

  5. I'll sue you for plagerism! (kidding)

    The same list should apply to Scholo/Strat/SM, as well as Booty Bay locations.

    It's the OTHER ones you'll have to work on. :)

    Oh, but .. you just posted your idea to do so.. and it's been date/time-stamped on the comment.

    So try your little ploy, it will fail. Oh yes. It will fail. >:D
