Well Read (Alliance)

[This Is A User-Submitted Guide!]

[Wowhead only updates official guides, so information might not be up-to-date.]

DISCLAIMER! - Battle for Azeroth release
If you see text with this color while reading the guide, it means the particular information isn't necessarily entirely accurate or complete. This is because some sections are new, require rewriting or are being rewritten.

As of patch 8.0.1, Darnassus and Unterstadt are no longer available to the players who have done the pre-patch event. Books found in these locations are thus unavailable for them. You can still enter these zones when you have not yet done the pre-patch event. What will happen when BfA officially releases is still to see.

As stated in the title, this is the Alliance guide, click here for the Horde version.IntroductionMists of PandariaScholomanceBücherwurmFYI

This guide is written in British English since I'm from Europe, Belgium. Because of this, the 1st floors that are mentioned in the guide are actually the 2nd floor if you're American English speaking.

This guide makes heavy usage of in-game coordinates to aid in finding certain locations. Therefore it's recommended to first read the section about TomTom near the end of the guide.

Most books can be read by level 1 and above. This is not the case for the books in Scholomance and Stratholme. They require respectively level 33 and 37 to enter the instance. Note that you won't be able to read these books without the aid of a friend or party. I recommend to be at least level 60 if you want to do this on your own. (Minimum levels for dungeon finder are respectively 38 and 46.) Level 60 is also a good level to start this if you can afford buying Fluglizenz (requires to have Geübtes Reiten and Erfahrenes Reiten). This will allow you to fly and reduces your traveling time significantly. Buying those 3 skills will cost you for the skills and for the mount. If you're exalted with at least one faction (I recommend Sturmwind since they have the required NPC's that sell the skills and mounts), then it's only and .

The approximate time it takes to do this achievement is between 30 minutes and 1 hour. This is based on your level, route taken and travel speed. It took myself about 2 hours to visit all the locations again to keep this guide updated.

Rogues can read all books while stealthed. This makes it slightly easier to read books in the opposing factions cities and settlements.

According to some players, the books in Booty Bay in Das Schlingendornkap can be phased out if certain quest chains are not completed. Two of these quest chains are Streicht die Blutsegel and Kehrt zu Revilgaz zurück (last quests in the chain).

Traveling tips

If you have your hearthstone in example set to Sturmschild or Schrein der Sieben Sterne, it's possible to use these two locations as a portal hub. Both hubs have portals to Sturmwind, Eisenschmiede and Darnassus.

Next to your hearthstone you can also have a Garnisonsruhestein. When your garrison is level 3 there will be a portal to Sturmschild at the top of a tower near the mine located at (70.2, 27.5).

There is also a fast way from Darnassus to Sturmwind. If you go to the Temple of the Moon in Darnassus, there is a portal at (44, 78.2) to Höllenfeuerhalbinsel that will teleport you to The Dark Portal. Right behind where you spawn is a portal to Sturmwind at (88.6, 52.8).

Lastly there are several items that can aid you in getting around faster.

Tuch der Zusammenarbeit, Wickeltuch der Einheit and Umhang der Koordination can teleport you to Sturmwind. These 3 items do not share a cooldown.

You can get to Sturmwind via Dalaran with Jainas Medaillon or Ring der Kirin Tor (and similar rings).

Fastest routeStratholmeScholomanceDas SchlingendornkapNördliches Brachland

Start your journey by entering Stratholme via the Main Gate. This instance yields a large amount of books and are all located in the The Scarlet Bastion. This instance is located in the Östliche Pestländer, Eastern Kingdoms with the Main Gate entrance at (26.5 11.6).

When you collected the books inside Stratholme, continue to Scholomance in the Westliche Pestländer. This instance only has one book with the entrance located at (69.7, 73.4). (Go right through the door to find the portal to the instance.)

After these two instances it's time to head to Thelsamar in Loch Modan. Thelsamar has a flight path nearby so it's recommended to take the flight path from Chillwind Camp (42.9, 85.1) in the Westliche Pestländer to there.

After Thelsamar it's time for the Hall of Explorers, The Library in Eisenschmiede. You can easily get here with the flight path (33.9, 50.9). Eisenschmiede is the second location with a large number of books.

Now it's time for Sturmwind. Take either the flight path (55.5, 47.7) or the Die Tiefenbahn that rides between Eisenschmiede and Sturmwind. Sturmwind is the third location with a large number of the required books so head to the Stormwind Keep and The Mage Quarter afterwards.

Now let's go to the human starting zone Wald von Elwynn. Wald von Elwynn has two locations with books. One is inside a tower, the other one inside a house.

After Wald von Elwynn, go to Darkshire in Dämmerwald. A couple of books can be found here.

When you visited the mayor in the Town Hall and the bedrooms in the Scarlet Raven Tavern you can take the flight path (77.5, 44.3) to Booty Bay in Das Schlingendornkap.

When you found the books in Booty Bay in the houses with their sometimes hard to find entrances, take the boat (39.3, 67.2) to Ratchet in the Nördliches Brachland.

Collect your books once you arrive in Ratchet in the Nördliches Brachland. They're all found in houses.

Now take the flight path (69.1, 70.7) to Gadgetzan in Tanaris. There is one book nowhere found elsewhere.

Your last two books are located in Darnassus. You can either take the flight path (51.4, 29.5) to Darnassus - get a bio in the meantime because this is a long flight - or use your Ruhestein (or similar items) and find your way to the city on your own. In example, it's a lot easier to hearthstone to Sturmschild or Schrein der Sieben Sterne if you have it set in either locations because these locations both have a portal to Darnassus at respectively (63.5, 64.3) and (77.2, 43.4).

you mean to tell me, I didn't have to go to undercity just to find a book? wowz

Kommentar von astolate

Is there an updated guide? I've found a large majority of these books in new Dalaran that are counting towards progress. Can all books be found in new Dalaran or just a few?

Kommentar von Eidolonaea

I think most of these book location's have moved. I am standing inside the Royal Library, and my HandyNotes addon is displaying the books on all my maps, but there are no books here that you can read.

Kommentar von UberRob

Note: some of the "first floor" comments mean "Ground Floor" and some seem to mean "The floor above ground floor". Or maybe it's just "The Betrayer Ascendant" that's moved.

Kommentar von Cioco

Awesome guide, thanks a lot!

Kommentar von Folgmore

the book "The Invasion of Draenor" is in the exact same place in Old Scholomance as it is in New Scholomance so you can go into either dungeon to get it.
