So, to find this pages you have to dig on every digsite of the area. Each archeology find (and in every one of them) will reward you with 2-6 [item=134087].

When you take 40 pages, you make 1 (one) chapter.

To complete and finish the book, you have to collect 9 chapters.

A Wyrmtongue Collector has appeared to me and I received 20 pages!

Good luck :) it sucks

Description

Now that we're re-supplied, we can get back ta work. I found something here that I think ye'll be interested in. It's a page of a book talking about the world of Argus. But before the demons destroyed it. Anyway, it's been me experience that if ye find one of something, there's sure ta be more of it around. Keep lookin' around Val'sharah for more of these pages and bring what ye find back ta me. And take the page I found with ya so ye know what yer lookin' fer.

Where to go

Pins are the quest’s own POI points from the current retail client, projected onto the in-game zone map. The game marks one blob as the quest’s turn-in; the rest are objective areas. Points that fall outside a map’s window are dropped rather than guessed at.

    Brann Bronzebeard has requested that I send him more surveying equipment, but I just don't have the time. Would you be a dear and take this crate to him, <name>? I'd truly appreciate it.

  • Darkheart Thicket: Through the FogLevel 45

    I can't believe that after all that searchin' ye did, it's still missing a chapter! I'm willin' ta bet that those satyrs got a hand on it and took it somewhere. Probably somewhere dark where no one could find it.
