There is no craftsman, scholar or outfitter essentials volumes past 19, plus jeweler falls under the scholar branch. However, all essentials volumes are sold by the vendor outside the tradeskill instance. You won't be able to see the volumn until you can actually use it though.

I believe it actually goes by Teir Zen... you can see a whole teir's worth ahead... at 40 I could see all books up to and including 50 for my class.

But yeah, at the merchant outside of the tradeskill instance for all your lvl 1 - 50 essentials crafting needs.

I wonder if 50 is a special case, being the last level of non-expansion play. At 20 I could see books through 29 and at 30 I see the ones through 39. I'd have expected at 40 to only see up through 49, but that would leave 50 all by itself as the only new thing you see when you hit 50.

Are the 50 books not only available from Maj'dul?

I'd be surprised if they were... you can get to 50 without having any expansions, so it shouldn't require you to have an expansion to get the level 50 books. I'd hope that it's 51 to 59 or 60 that are only available in Maj'dul.

I'm level 70 and the merchants only show recipes from level 2 to 49. 50 to 59 you need to buy from Maj'Dul, either in the Golden Sceptre or in any of the courts; 60 to 69 you need to buy in KoS (TT for outfitter, BS for scholar, Bonemire for craftsman).

The common recipes sold in Maj'Dul are tradeable so if you don't have DoF you can get someone to buy it for you. However the rare recipes that are sold in the courts are NOT tradeable (though the dropped versions are). However without DoF you can't get past 50 and won't be able to harvest your own t6 components anyway.

Assuming jewelery follows the same pattern as alchemists and sages, you will be able to find level 50 scout runes in the level 49 essentials book.

You can buy L2-50 at the merchant. 50 is not available in Maj'Dul, as DoF included 51 and above (50 was already achievable w/ the original game).

You can't get past 50 w/o the expansion (or KoS or TFD), but Carpenter 50 is available on merchants outside the wholesaler.

I'm not sure if its different for some classes... not all of them may have L50 books.

Hmmm. 2 Carpenters saying the exact opposite of the other. :confused:

Anyway pre LU-24 the Jeweler/Alchemist 50 books were only available in majdul. I havn't actually checked since the LU. if i remember i will take a peek tonight.

Level 50 was, up until recently, purchasable only in Maj'Dul.

As of LU24 when the books were moved, you can no longer buy them in Maj'Dul and must buy them from the same merchants where you buy the 1-49 books.

Oddly enough, following that same pattern, the 60 books should be found in maj'dul but they're not - I'd ASSUME they're still found in KoS like they were prior to LU24.

Well know for a fact the 50 to 59 rares are only sold in the courts of Maj'Dul (also drop from t6 mobs). Could have sworn the merchants outside the tradeskill instances only sold 2 to 49 books... haven't verified that recently, but don't mrember seeing anything past 49 last time I looked on the merchant, and that was after LU24 (it would have to be, since these merchants weren't sellling any books before, used to be sold in the tradeskill instances themselves rather than outside). My carpenter is currently parked outside Sanctum of the Sacelborn and I don't want to move her yet, lol... but next time I have a chance to directly confirm this one way or the other will let you know. Anyone else confirm this directly in the game?

50 was achievable in the original game, but no level 50 recipes existed before DoF. (Just as 60 was achievable with DoF, but no level 60 recipes existed before KoS). As of the launch of DoF, Maj'Dul sold 50 to 59 recipes and was the only place that did. That may have changed, going to try to confirm that.

You can't get past 50 w/o the expansion (or KoS or TFD), but Carpenter 50 is available on merchants outside the wholesaler.

I'm not sure if its different for some classes... not all of them may have L50 books.

As of LU24 every single class has at least one common and one rare recipe book in every level from 2 to 69. (Edit: except for provisioners, who have no rare recipes, not counting the artisan ones they can use 2 to 9 and the craftsman ones they can use 10 to 19.) As for whetjer or not 50 is purchaseable from the merchants outside tradeskill intances, well again trying to get confirmation on that lol.

I have bought almost every single 50 book (except woodworker, carp, provie and sage) from the vendors outside the normal tradeskill instances. My carp, provie and sage aren't leveled high enough to bother trying yet, and my woodworker was 60 (with all the books up until then) prior to LU25 so I never bothered to try.

I HAVE checked all the maj'dul vendors since 25, and NONE of them are selling their 50 books. All sell 51-60.

/nod. I don't know why, but they moved the 50 book to the wholesaler.

Yeah Trodon, what you're saying is the way it was for the longest time... but like I said for some reason they moved it. Maybe its to give folks a taste of T6 if they don't have the expansion, or a hint that there are more books somewhere?

51-60 books should be on various merchants upstairs in the Golden Scepter, if I recall correctly.

Personally confirmed the status of these today... whether I'm right or wrong wanted to personally confirm the status of these. Would rather know I'm wrong than to not be completely sure whether or not I'm right. Besides which then I can correct myself and stop being wrong, lol...

The merchants outside of the tradeskill instances currently (as of LU24) sell common recipes from 2 to 50 and rare recipes from 2 to 9.

The Maj'Dul merchants in the Golden Sceptre sell common recipes from 51 to 59 (they do NOT sell level 50 books, nor do they sell level 60 books). The Maj'Dul courts sell rare recipes from 50 to 59.

The KoS merchants (TT for outfitter, BS for scholar, Bonemire for craftsman) sell common recipes from 60 to 69.

This may change again of course for some reason... quite possibly for sake of consistency they may move level 60 books from KoS to Maj'Dul... but I have personally confirmed this is the state of recipes as of now. Knowing is half the battle, lol...
