Found in The Violet Hold, next to Archmage Timear, on a crate in the northern most corner.

Illusion is the art of deceiving reality itself. The mist of illusion can make a mage invisible or inaudible to the world or twist the image of a location into something entirely different. Illusion can be used for disguise for manipulation. Illusions exist in the divination school. It is not viable to base your entire career on illusionary magic.
(page 3)
Contrary to popular belief, illusions are far more than mere parlor tricks. The sell of invisibility is among the most integral in a battle mage's repertoire. As you will often find yourself in dangerous situations and in need of a quick method for a strategic retreat. Illusions can also be used to deceive your opponents into thinking that you are elsewhere, or even trick your enemies into fighting each other. This is no easy task, but the accomplished illusionist can turn allies into enemies - and his or her own enemies into allies.
(page 4)
The former archmage Jandace Barov - may her soul rest in peace - was an excellent example of a talented illusionist. In life, she developed a spell that displayed several images of her body that were nearly indistinguishable form her real form. These images duplicated her actions from different locations, making it nearly impossible for her enemies to find her. It was almost infallible. Which brings me to another lesson - almost is simply not good enough.

found "The Fluffy Bunny" at this location.

I went to that location and it was a book called "Fuzzy Bunny"

No book was even here :l

"The Fate of Apprentice Argoly" can also spawn in this location.

Kommentar von Megami

If anyone was confused like me, the wine glass pictured near the book is part of a quest called Cheese for Glowergold and spawns until someone picks it up, has no relation to the spawning of the book and there might not be a wine glass when you find the book.

Kommentar von Tekwar

Is this just the rarest book? Or something? My girlfriends been farming it for a month, I'v even been helping on occasion but NEITHER of us have gotten it spawn, we both just get place holder. In fact, Just got a brown placeholder about 10 minutes ago.

I found this book at 10:13 PM.

I just need this book to get my pet and i have never even seen a book laying on that location, i hope once i see a book that it won't be a fake one
I think i'm going to camp it

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Illusion (the one that spawns at Violet Hold) seems to have a 3 and a half hour timer. A faux book spawned at 6:34am and then again at 10:10. At 1:45(ish) the real book spawned. Given the three minute timer from the time it's read, to its despawn, 3 1/2 hours seems to be the correct timer for this one spawn point.

Achievement:

Reward:
(Use the book to teleport to a room on top of the Violet Citadal and speak with: Archmage Vargoth)

Archmage Vargoth will reward you with:

Req: (Read the following books, all located throughout Dalaran)

Info:

The books are on spawn timers anywhere from 3 hours to 4 hours

Each book only spawns in one location (so once you find it you do not need to keep checking that location)

Book spawn times are shared with non-achievement books (so you may see a book spawn and it will not be the one you need)

Each location seems to have 2-3 other books (non-achievement) which spawn in that location (randomly)

If you read the book it will disappear within 3min (resetting the spawn timer)

If you do not read the book it will disappear within 5min (resetting the spawn timer)

If an achievement book does spawn, more than one player can read the book and get the credit for reading it. (if they read it within 3min of the first person who read it)

When I find a book I announce it within trade chat so if other would like to read it they can (providing they can get to it within 3min)

Ask around if others are looking for books, group up, spread out to keep your eyes on multiple locations, share spawn timer info (this greatly reduces the amount of running around)

Books (locations):

Location: Dalaran Visitor Center (52.2,55.5), on the floor to the right as you go in, in front of the little table with books on it

Location: Violet Citadel (30.9,46.3), group of bookcases on the right as you go in, Bottom of the left bookcase.

Location: Violet Citadel (26.5,51.7), Up the stairs to the left, on the floor in front of the bookcase, next to the sands of time portal.

Location: Threads of Fate (Cloth Armor shop)(43.6,47.1), Go up stairs out on the balcony on top of a crate to your right as you walk out onto the balcony.

Location: Violet Hold (64.5,52.8), as you go in head to the left and against the wall on the left crate, next to Archmage Timear.

Location: Violet Gate (Crystal Portal)(56.7,46.1), to your right as you enter (northern bookcase) on the floor in front of bookcase.

Location: Legerdermain Lounge (46.9,39.1), Upstairs west room, empty bookcase

Location: Legerdermain Lounge (46.9,39.8), 1st floor western bookcase near the door

So this is the last book I need. I've been camping it for about 5 days, I've seen the junk books about 25+ times and I'm starting to lose it... I've even gone as far as setting my alarm every 3 hours when I go to sleep (very sad I know).

Kommentar von 374929

I am in the same boat as you. I just got my 21st fake about 6 seconds ago... I got the other 7 really quickly, but for some reason this one just refuses to spawn.

Kommentar von Cynnik

I am so tired of reading Fluffy Bunny....

Kommentar von Becauseisaidso

I was camping a book and it was the dummy book so i quickly check the other spots and bam there was one of them that are needed to you might want to try that till its your last book.

*Achievement*

I also posted pictures of a map of all the locations of the books as well as pictures of each specific location the books spawn so you know where to look. Good luck and happy hunting!

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Introduction
Violet Gate : Right side of Archmage Celindra on the floor next to the bookshelf
{Coords 56.7, 45.6}

The Schools of Arcane Magic – Abjuration
Dalaran Visitor Center : Right side of room, on the floor next to the table
{Coords 52.3, 54.8}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Conjuration
Lower Violet Citadel : Right side of room (to the right of Archmage Aethas Sunreaver), Lower left bookshelf
{Coords 30.7, 46}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Divination
Upper Violet Citadel : Upstairs on the floor between the book shelves that are to the left of Zidormi and the Caverns of Time portal.
{Coords 26.5, 52.3}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Enchantment
Upper balcony of Threads of Fate : Go inside and up the stairs on the right side as you walk in, continue up until you are on the balcony. Face the door way and it will be on a crate on the left side.
{Coords 43.5, 46.7}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Illusion
Violet Hold : Go in and then left. It’s on a crate to the right of Archmage Timear *Regular dungeon daily quest giver* (to the right as you are looking at him)
{Coords 64.4, 52.4}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Necromancy
Upper Legerdemain Lounge: Go upstairs and to the right in the bedroom with four beds. It will be on the bookshelf against the wall on the second shelf from the top.
{Coords 46.8, 39.1}

The Schools of Arcane Magic - Transmutation
Lower Legerdemain Lounge : Bottom floor on the right bookshelf across from the bar (next to the stove) it will be on the second shelf from the top
{Coords 46.8, 40}

I suggest you get an addon from Curse.com called Dalaran University. It’s simple to use and will help you keep track of when each book may spawn. Just keep in mind, books can spawn as a “real” or “fake” book in each specific location. A fake book that spawns counts (on timers) as a real book, so you will have to wait another 3-4 hours for a chance a real book will spawn.

I hope this helps! Good luck getting your Loremaster title and your Kirin Tor Familiar non-combat pet!

Poor ol' Jandace.

Kommentar von 600708

Is it just me or does the map above show two spawn spots?

Anyway...

This book has been eluding me for days. Every time a book appears, it's a fake book, usually "The Dangers of Magic Abuse".

Also, a lot of people seem to say that fake books don't reset the spawn timer, but I have to disagree. Every 3-4 hours a book spawns, fake or real, and until the next one it's another 3-4 hours. Maybe it's just the Illusion book, but that's been my experience so far.

Kommentar von precise

I have confirmed that all books respawn after a restart. We had rolling restarts just now, after 5 restarts on 2 hours, I got the last 3 books I needed. Kinda lucky, considering the chances of duds. :>

Kommentar von LuckyGhoul

Remember reading someone talking about these books coming in pairs with dud books. There was a dud in lower Legerdemain tonight, moments after opening it, I found Illusion had popped up.

Maybe coincidence, but I just need 1 more now!

Kommentar von turkesh

This one has been the last book found on every character I've gotten this achievement (six). It surely has a lower spawn chance than the others.

Kommentar von 818555

Im not even seeing the fake books, It's bottles, then it's candles. And they're changing quickly between the candles and bottles. (like every few seconds.) Is this broken?

Kommentar von 559651

this is the same locations as The Dangers of Magic Abuse! Have any of you noticed this!

Kommentar von Purrrple

Started finally going for this achievement for the pet.

Day 1: I found fake books at 12.02pm and 3.29pm, then at 7.07pm the real book appeared... so roughly a 3.5hr respawn time.

Day 2: Fake books spawned at 10.40am, 2.14pm, 6.05pm then the real book at 9.30pm.

Actually I have found that the books don't just spawn in the areas listed in this post. I do see that the "images" show multiple spots. For instance I have not found a book in the Bar/Room upstairs (by the bed) on the floor. Yet I have that book. I also found a different book where the Illusion book is stated as being found.

I just kept clearing fake books. As a matter of fact today I found conjuration downstairs of VC and a fake book was upstairs at the same time.

Illusion still haunts me also :-)

Kommentar von 98133

Found fake 64.52 the other day & found real book at 1:14pm.

Kommentar von rikerr

I have never found ANY book in the Violet Hold. Is this still the right place to look for Illusion?
