One of the tough parts of reading the boards is that you inevitably end up with 100000 posts in the one good thread you liked about a topic. Bookmarks provide a good way to keep track of that thread, but eventually you have a huge collection of the threads you keep track of. I've been tracking the Creature Mastery/Legends and Lore threads and wading through the information has been tedious, amusing, frustrating, and at the very least rewarding for all the generous information the various contributors have offered up. For my guild buddies, I've been regularly posting information on the quests to our guild boards and I thought that the consolidated information might be of use to more than just them. I'm posting the information here as well because it consolidates the threads I've read and includes information that simply doesn't appear in any one thread. Here's the general format of an entry:


Creature Name
Title of Creature Mastery Book
Location (linked to pictures where possible): Directions and locs.
Post beta?: Whether or not it's confirmed to exist post beta.
Reward: What the reward is called (not including the book you get).
Quote: The quote displayed when you examine the reward.
Level Requirement: What level you must be to start the quest.
Notes: Any notes of reported status from the Devs. If no notes, this line won't appear.


Question marks in areas listed means that people have suggested ranges or possibilities or there are conflicting reports on information. Where I've had information about books existing in both Qeynos and Freeport areas, I've listed that too. Corrections welcome, comments appreciated, updates wholeheartedly encouraged. I'll be keeping an eye on the thread and all the others that pop up so I can keep the list up-to-date (some of the other threads haven't had their initial posts updated in a while).

My many many thanks to everyone that posted on these quests in other threads. There's no way I would be able to list or thank them all. Forgive my blatant stealing of your text at times, friends. You said it much better than I could. One person, however, deserves quite a bit of thanks. Nith, on the Unrest server, spent a lot of time gathering up quests and shooting screenshots of the starting locations for people who were having trouble finding the books. It's to Nith's website that the Location links are linked, if a picture exists. Thanks, Nith!

As a special note, Fallen Gate requires special access. Both good- and evil-aligned characters can complete the quest, but in either case you must be flagged for Fallen Gate, have someone that is flagged for Fallen Gate get you in, kill Kizdean Gix to get the key (possibly a no-rent item), or (for evil-aligned) obtain access via a quest from Kanos X'Aphon near the entrance to Thieve's Way. If multiple people are doing the FG key quest from N Freeport, be *sure* that everyone hails Kanos, and selects 'Gathering my friends' as their conversation answer. The entrance to Fallen Gate is very near the West Freeport entrance to Thieves Way. Good-aligned characters can use this location to their advantage because of the lack of Freeport city guards (who will kick you out).
