This achievement is the Legion version of the Wrath of the Lich King achievement Higher Learning.

To complete this achievement and unlock the Toy (Adept's Guide to Dimensional Rifting), you need to find the seven chapters of Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting that are located in various spots in Azsuna.

As it turns out, another item can help you find these 7 chapters! Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting can be purchased from Veridis Fallon for 500g upon reaching Revered reputation with the Court of Farondis faction.

Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting has a 4 hour cooldown. Using it will teleport you to a random spawn point for a chapter of the book. In all likelihood these will have long spawn times, and the destination will not have the chapter you need - hence the following flavour text:

"This seven step tome can be mastered in one week provided all the knowledge is there.
*Disclaimer, the knowledge is rarely there."

For Dimensional Rifting Ch. 2 - Holy Places to Many

You can go to the high mountains to the north of its location (the book is located at 55, 72) and climb as high as possible (I was able to get fairly high using Fel Rush, but other classes can do it by other means) and then jump off, combining Emerald Winds and a glider such as Rocfeather Skyhorn Kite to get to the top of the book's tower without needing to wait for Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting to bring you.

EDIT:

Here's a youtube video showing you how to reach Chapter 2 whenever you want, instead of having to wait for the teleport item to come off cooldown (and hoping it will bring you to the right spot!):

https://youtu.be/6ZYA4aDRygg

You will need the Emerald Winds and a glider of some sort (note; Demon Hunter glide loses too much height mid-air and won't make the journey).

I don't ever record my gameplay, so sorry if it's not the best job. This is recorded on a Demon Hunter, and it's definitely easier to reach the mountaintop on one, but it CAN be done on other classes; I have done it on Hunter and Paladin, too.

How this works:
There are 7 books in Azsuna, some of them are just lying on the ground, some of them are on the top of the towers. Book spawns in 1 of 7 locations.
It seems to me, that mechanics is similar, but not the same as in Higher Learning.

You can buy Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting after Revered with Court of Farondis from Veridis Fallon
This toy can port you to one of the books locations, but it doesn't guarantee you will get the book.

Book Coordinates Note Video
Ch. 1 68.1, 51.1 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=N-KfCJQYaPo
Ch. 2 55.2, 71.5 Top of the tower. Use flight items* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r-cBKGV3fL8

Ch. 7 55.6, 48.2 Top of the tower. Use flight items* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DPsbkEXCGA

*Flight items: Use Emerald Winds or Goblin Glider Kit or Rocfeather Skyhorn Kite or Glide and jump from Dalaran (or from the mountain in the center of Azsuna).
I prefere Goblin Glider Kit + Emerald Winds Here is demo: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rcL-_G0SsSI

I think there is no point in farming them without the toy, but if you just want to see the locations:

/way Azsuna 68.11, 51.16 Dimensional Rifting Ch. 1

The reward is Adept's Guide to Dimensional Rifting Will update this post when i get it

I have done Higher Learning back in the days in WotLK and have to say that this one feels different.
You don't have to check every location for hours, because you have the toy
You will use the toy for world quests and fast transportation in Broken Isles anyway
There will probably be no spam in dalaran that book has spawned

To be tested:
I saw the book on the ground for 30-40 minutes. Had to go after this, so maybe it was there longer than 30 mins. So the book will not disappear if someone picks it up.
I also noticed that Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting always ports you to the same location. Location changes daily

According to the toy description:
This seven step tome can be mastered in one week provided all the knowledge is there. *Disclaimer, the knowledge is rarely there.

we can expect to see only 1 book per day. And i checked my logs and i it is true, i got 1 book per day. (mostly because i never checked for other books and just used the toy 1-3 times a day, still got 6/7 in 7 days)

Comment by Feliciamarie
For Dimensional Rifting Ch. 4 - Risks and Rewards, don't stand there and think your UI is bugged. The book that the skeleton is holding onto is NOT the book even though when you hover over it, it says "Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting" lol. A GREEN book will be in front of it that you can click.

Comment by Ozzayel
Can you actually get these without the toy?
I'm wondering because I've checked several of the locations manually and found nothing (even the one you need to glide/emerald winds to).
Yet I've used the toy twice today since getting it, and both times the book was right there.

Makes me think the book is only there if you use the toy to get to it...
Has anyone found one without using the toy?

**UPDATE**
I have kept checking and still nothing.
I've only found a book while using the toy, and using the toy I get the same location several times in a row before it changes to something else.
I would guess it takes you to the same book each day and switches at midnight realm time.

When using the toy so far all but one time the book has been there.

Comment by Ozzayel
Argh it's sent me to chapter 1 four times in a row now!

Comment by Esinar
Information I have gathered so far:

This achievement Higher Dimensional Learning is obtained by clicking/interacting with 7 different books located around Azsuna
The books can only be seen when the item Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting is used. If you go to the location without using this item you cannot see the books
Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting can be bought from the vendor Veridis Fallon when reaching revered with Court of Farondis
Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting, when used, will teleport you to one of the book's locations and has a 4 hour cooldown
Despite having a 4 hour cooldown, it seems Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting is 'daily-locked' and will always teleport you to the same location on any given day. This location seems to be reset at midnight (as opposed to the daily reset time)
I was able to find each of the 7 books in 7 days without getting any repeats. This may be coincidence or there may be some fixed pattern of spawns (ie: it may not be random what book spawns each day)
After clicking on a book, I have observed it both despawning and respawning, although there seems to be no pattern to this. I have seen it despawn immediately after clicking it and despawning 5 minutes after clicking it. I have also observed it respawning after around 2 minutes, but it sometimes took up to 15 minutes to respawn
Due to random despawn/respawn timers, if the book is not there when you teleport, I advise waiting a while, because it should eventually appear.

Comment by Tatahe
In case you use the toy to teleport and you don't see the book at that point, you can use cross realm to loot it, just queue for a random group or use de addon "Cross Realm Assist" and you will probably find it on your first hop cause respawn is not that long :)

Happy farming!

Comment by Tracber
The books spawn in order numerically, and the Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting will always teleport you to the book that should be up that day. The past 5 days of me using this item has proven this. Today for me was Book 3, yesterday the item brought me to Book 2, the day before that was Book 1. Tomorrow should be Book 4.

Comment by Graknak
Correct me if i'm wrong but for the EU the rotation seems (each starting at 00:00 AM and ending 23:59 PM servertime the same day):
Book 1: Sunday
Book 2: Monday
Book 3: Tuesday
Book 4: Wednesday
Book 5: Thursday
Book 6: Friday
Book 7: Saturday

Respawn on the books seems anywhere between 10-30 mins, most of the times 15 mins or less.

Comment by Saravi
I have used this item 3 days in a row now, and gotten taken to the exact same spot each time (Where I found chapter 1 - the Ruined Sanctum). Is this suppose to happen? Multiple people here have reported not being taken to the same place twice.

Comment by Weasei
Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting Ch. 7 - Our Legacy spawn time for me was 45 minutes from arrival on a Saturday (Khadgar-EU).

The book despawned 2 minutes after I read it.

Comment by Tinakhi
The reward was in the mail.

Comment by ZeeAUS
Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting is NOT toy. If you want to save yourself the 425 gold, you can buy this item each day and port to the location of the days chapter. Then sell the book back to a vendor (I just sold it to my mount vendor) for a 425 gold refund. Rinse and repeat for the next 7 days.

Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting Ch. 2 - Holy Places to Many

This book is very easy to miss! It is very small and dark grey. I (finally) saw it at

/way Azsuna 55.2, 71.5 Rifting Ch. 2

I had visited sevaral other realms and checked in on my own realm several times... /facepalm who knows how many of those times I simply missed seeing it /KicksSelf

Comment by Keyserling
If the book isn't there, try to jump realms (I use Cross Realm Assist addon for that).

Comment by thebl4ckd0g
Just have book 3 left, and have had it left to get for about a month. I've checked it's reported location on wowhead every Tuesday, but have never seen it there. I will keep checking but hopefully I will get it someday.

Comment by antoniop23
I have attained the Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting and used it two days in a row now and got ported to two different locations. The book wasn't up upon my arrival at either location nor did any book spawn in the long while that I waited there watching for it. In those two days, I also ran around and checked all other six locations and have found no book up nor saw any book spawn in the long while that I waited in each spot watching. I didn't notice any other comments here having this similar issue so I have no idea whats going on with my situation. However, there are several different ideas listed in the comments here with various ideas about how the porting item and spawn times work. From what I gathered:

1.) The books spawn in a set location and with a set rotation based on the day of the week.
2.) The Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting ports the user to the spot in which the book should be up for that given day.
3.) The spawn time of each book may be much longer than just a couple minutes so realm hopping may increase one's chance of finding something.

Is there a reward for completing this that I am missing?

Comment by Heyla
Im not sure if this has been mentioned, but the Chapter 3 has a phasing issue. If you are having trouble with this book try this: If you are standing on the edge of the rock you are in the zone The Great Sea and you wont be able to see the book! Take a few steps closer in and you will shift into Azsuna. If the book is there you will see it when you are in Azsuna and you cant get to close to it when reading bcs you will enter The Great Sea again. When i found this out i saw someone sitting on the edge camping (in the great sea zone) i took a few steps in on the rock, got phased, the player vanished and the book appeared. Did it a few times to be sure. Since opposite faction i couldnt tell the player to move and i /emoted like crazy, in vain and the book eventually despawned :(

Subject: Next Course in Higher Dimensional Rifting

Congratulations on completing your studies in the Beginner's Guide to Dimensional Rifting. In recognition of your dedication, I'm enclosing this next volume in the series.

I believe you'll find this tome has a bit more reach of material, but I'll leave that for your discovery.

Sincerely,

Mentithus Leytracker

THE BOOK AIN'T THERE WHEN YOU PORT ?

Answer: wait for the respawn (about 20 min)

Comment by Elodeon
The toy appears to port to the same location when used in the same day. This appears to be the location where that day's book spawns. My experience on a US realm matches the schedule in the current highest rated comment for EU realms:

- Used toy on Monday, found Chapter 2.
- Used toy on Tuesday, found Chapter 3.
- Used toy 3 times on Wednesday, was repeatedly ported to the location of Chapter 4. Had to wait there for this one until it spawned.

Books appear to despawn within a few minutes of being clicked. They appear to respawn again in perhaps 20 minutes.

Comment by KaptainKrunk
As a heads up, the books don't despawn exactly at midnight. I snagged one I forgot at 12:08 AM the next day, and it was still there, though you'd have to reach the area manually.

Comment by Nalain
Yay 7.2 brings FLYING so you SHOULD can get this achievement done all in one day!

Except that's not correct at all =( From the best I can tell, books aren't up unless its on their day (see Graknak's post for days and books).

Comment by LSavage
Herewith the text of the seven chapters:

Chapter 1 - Navigating Through Time (Sunday):

<Penned by the skilled hand of Mentithus Leytracker>

"Unlike the immortal realm of the Emerald Dream, the mortal world of Azeroth is shaped by the ravages of time. Time comes in many forms to the physical world, battles, weather, disaster and just life being lived.

What does this mean to the Dimensional Rifter?

You must be vigilant and let the ley fluctuations in the Ley Lines tell you when a destination point has moved, is on unsteady ground or just under a pile of rubble."

Chapter 2 - Holy Places to Many (Monday):
"Many of the civilized races of Kalimdor congregate near powerful Ley Line nexus'. Based on my studies there is a natural pull for many of the denizens of this world.

In your travels you will encounter many temples, ruins, or cities located along the Ley Lines. These are also often good points to become more familiar with the art.

Take heed though, not all peoples will be happy with you treading on what they believe to be sacred ground. And living too near some Ley Lines make denizens even more dangerous."

With thanks to neousagi

Chapter 3 - Water, Just Water (Tuesday):

<Penned by the skilled hand of Mentithus Leytracker>

"Water is a glorious thing in this world, yet it now covers a great deal of it. And so it becomes an increasingly dangerous threat to would-be Dimensional Rifters.

Feel the variations in the Ley Lines as they approach the water's edge and you will be able to determine where to best exit.

Take heed and you will always keep your head above water."

Chapter 4 - Risks and Rewards (Wednesday):
"Take heed dear traveler. Many places overwhelmed with Ley Line energy can be deadly to the beginning Dimensional Rifter.

In places like these the sheer number of rifts create instability and the potential for important belongings to be severed from your person.

Take heed and make sure to keep everything with you and you will often find immense rewards"

Chapter 5 - Finding Others Along the Way (Thursday):
"Remember you are not the only one that can run along the Ley Lines or tap into their power.

Remember that while you of course are doing this for pure learning alone, others may be up to more nefarious ends.

Do tread carefully and always look out for bears."

With thanks to Aureliana

Chapter 6 - Pent Up Energy (Friday):
<Penned by the slightly shaking hand of Menitithus Leytracker>

"The Ley Lines of this world are truly magnificent and powerful. The energy pent up and raw.

Do be wary as this energy can build and build if the flow is restricted. It is an amazing yet dreadful sight to see a Ley Fissure erupt.

On the other hand these points do become an easy access point for travel and further study."

With thanks to Aureliana

Chapter 7 - Our Legacy (Saturday):
"The energy of the Ley Lines is pure power and with it we can do oh so much. Our civilization has been drawn to this energy since we first took refuge in the dark forests and warrens.

I believe it is inevitable that our people will find more of these great and powerful nexus points to develop into a dominant and weakness free society.

Your path to a Dimensional Rifter will hopefully take you to the pinnacle of our great society."
