"Desert of Flames" Collections

by Okooo and Ethec

Desert of Flames offers a new way to do those "read-a-page-kill-10-mobs-repeat-ten-times" quests for house item books. Game Designer Owlchick recently posted that all the book quests will eventually  be completed DoF fashion: by binding the missing pages into the tome via a Bookbinder, such as the one inside the Temple of the Moon in Maj'Dul. The pre-expansion catalog books can still be completed the traditional way, but soon all books will be initiated DoF style. Books and pages are dropped by mobs or found by clicking "hi-lightable" objects throughout the expansion lands; it's about a half-and-half split. "Found" pages are no_trade, while "dropped" pages are mostly tradable.

But first, let's take a look at the familiar ground spawns (?'s). It's hard to get much detail on the rewards, especially since rewards are liable to be tweaked. What folks are saying on the forums is that many collections offer platemail items with bonuses to WIS and INT, with a smattering of jewelry and no medium (leather) armor so far. Again, just rumors!

So what's out there?

"Found" Books & Pages in the Desert Lands

Okooo went around scarfing up all the books and pages he could find in Maj'Dul and the Sinking Sands, and our favorite Illusionist brought back a laundry list of locs. In all honesty, the Maj'Dul "clickable" items are most easily found by taking a half-hour to wander around looking for highlights rather than trying to follow each loc, but perhaps the list will come in handy as you search out each an elusive page or tome.

The Second Wife's Tale

• Tome (loc -150.42, 177.57, -119.30, Maj Dul, Basket)
• Page 5 (loc 60.36, 137.08, 185.14, Maj Dul, Square Chest)
• Page 10 (loc 128.76, 143.55, 123.23, Maj Dul, Vase)

The Nights of the Dead

A Note Regarding "Dropped" Book Items

Your pretty much on your own to find these, however, avoid non-sentient creatures that have no real business carrying books or pages, like cobras and asps.

We'll post more as we discover more, but if you've found something out that we've missed, please email us or post in the "Desert of Flames" forums. Good luck!
