I noticed that EA put the ability for Carpenters to make a new type of Book Case (Academic Bookcase) and it really does look cool, but the problem is that the ingredients seem almost impossible to get. If anyone has any information on where these books can be found and how to get them I would appreciate it. Would love to know if there is a Script or if someone is working on a script for this. Why does EA give Carpenters something to make and make it sooo hard to make it? Do they just want to laugh at us and / or see the frustration in our faces? Do they just like to hear complaints on how impossible something is in the game? I thought they were being nice to us and giving us a cool House Decoration Item!?
ORACLE

I didn't see the details of the ingredients. What where they?
-
To make an Academic Bookcase you need the following:
A Carpenter with 60 or more skill:
25 Boards or Logs
1 Academic Book
-
Fhat the wuck is an Academic Book? is that something that's difficult to get or is that just one of the city-spawned books?
-
That is what I am asking...you basically repeated the same question I had when I saw that Craftsmen can make new items...my Tinker finally made a Hitching Post (Replica) and that took forever to find and obtain those ingredients...any help I can get to find an Academic Book to made an Academic Bookcase is appreciated... :D
-
The Academic books are a new stealable. They are a level like 9 or something, spawn 1 a month or something stupid and they spawn somewhere on a table near bedlam in Umbra. I think there is a picture in UOhall on stratics. I know on siege they are camped heavy and I personally haven't even seen one yet. Both the book shelves and the hitching post are supposed to be 11th year anniversary gifts. The japanese shards already have the ability to buy these tokens and the rest of UO does not. So I have seen some of these already. It seems easier to buy the token then to steal the books.
-
Ah cool thanks for that. One of these days I need to polish up my old Doom looter and post that. I've gotten every stealable aside from the inquisitors resolution. The ruined paintings are still my fav.
-
ya they are a pain the ass to get becouse 1 they are heavily camped, spawn once a month, and the area sucks. btw if you do go looking for them please stop and say Hi to Red Death for me... we are well acquainted.
-
There are two spawn points for the academic books. One in the south room of the champ spawn in Bedlam, one in the building west of the stables area opposite Red Death. The books look like Doom stacks but are of bronze hue.
They do respawn every 8 days, yes, so figure an average of one bookcase every 4 days per shard. Assuming the books are nabbed as soon as they respawn... *cough* BOT *cough*... that's roughly 90 bookcases per shard per year, probably enough for 2-4 typical rune libraries.
Sounds like a new Script is needed here ... I will never get one! :'(
-
Heh, or just a quick tweak to my existing stealer. ;)

that always works :)

I want to update this post as I still have not found any Academic Books in Bedlam yet. These suckers are so elusive. I have been loyal and have said "HI" to Red Death each and every time I have visited Bedlam.
Anyone have any ideas on how to acquire one of these? Spawn Frequency? Etc.
REMINDER: TM, did you not say you were going to post your Doom Looter?
-
The one thing i have not been able to find out from heavy digging yet is if these spawn with sever up or are a time based item which would allow for them to spawn while server is running.
-
Interesting. we need to get their id's and some screen shots of where they spawn. do u have to steal or can you just pick them up too.
-
Another good question for the books C2. I had not thought about the ability to pick them up or if you had to steal them. My bet would be since they are a level 9 artifact that you have to steal them just like the books and other items in DOOM.
-
Are these the bookcases that look like they have books in them?
-
I have a Academic Bookcase that is made from the Academic Books if anyone wants a picture. I also have the 11th Year Bookcase also. It is problably not helpful but I will list Type and Id of each here also. Academic Bookcase Type VCE and on the 11th Year Type is IDE. Both of these Bookcase look like they have books in them but the 11th year one looks like an empty bookcase when you take all the items out of it.
-
I would take the longer id out of that post! That id is specific to only your book case. the 3 digit id is specific to all academic bookcases. Basically they could track your bookcases with the longer id. not that they even have time to patrol the game.
I really want the ids on the books that spawn...
-
I was wondering about that but was not 100% sure about that so thank you C2 for the education lesson today :)

Guess you didnt read my pm then Masscre :)
-
I have now thank you :)
-
Question .. are the books stolen or just picked up.
-
After diggin around on a few more forums the books are definately stolen from the posts I have seen. Still have not found any ID's for the books
-
come across screen shots of locations yet... i bet they are out there
-
OK still looking for pictures but here is the ID :) ----------------- JNL
-
so the id did not change from the doom book stacks interesting
-
has anyone tried the obvious then ?
ok i tried it.. wont make with the doom books... maybe if the color was right. ummmm
-
Ok first a picture of the books and there specs
Lastly a Picture of one of the book locations in bedlam
-
so the id did not change from the doom book stacks interesting
Why Would it? Lazy ass EA programmers couldn't even change the Id's for the new potions, hell they couldn't even change the color of two of them.
-
how do u get over to that side of bedlam?
-
you first have to do a small quest, talk to some chick walking around the entrance to bedlam. you have to collect some Unicorn ribs, uh.. kirin brain, and I forget the last item. bring it to the mayor in luna, then he gives you a note or something.. talk to the chick again, and you can now enter bedlam.
-
Where teh pictures and info sufficent or do we still need more info and to dig a little deeper?
-
I did all that bu ti cannot find that spot in bedlam. is there another level or is it in the champ room when u drop keys?
-
Is this spot not where you go in the graveyard and go inside the mounment and then walk down stars to get to these items?
-
going in there now. havent been in there as i got poisoned walking over the first time
-
so there is only one that spawns down here?
-
The second one is some where near by but i havent found any pictures of its location.
-
Massacre,
I am trying to find where the top two images you have in your post are located. I dont remember seeing a fountain or virtue tile anywhere in Bedlam.
-
the virtue tiles is from a house these books are placed in a house as a lockdown just to show the stats.
-
This is my new UO Obsession: ACADEMIC BOOKS !!!
I WANT them, I NEED them, I gotta HAVE them!
Let's determine: Location of the spawned books. Frequency. Are they server up spawns, or on a timer?
And I would be more than happy to share with Endless Night and others on here -- I am not greedy, just want my FAIR share :)
-
well they are a level 8 artifact so that is basically every eight days of spawning. THe exact hours are in the uo stratics FAQ for stealables. It lists all the times for respawn.
the bottom left corner is for certain one spot. I suspect the other is in the top book area
-
these books are still heavily camped so good luck :) and if you find the exact location please let us know. :)
-
I found the other one today. using UO north as a reference it is in the big building west of red death stables lower floor in the south west bedroom on the left side of the bed
-
The X/Y coords are
X=80
Y=1648
-
Nice! I wonder if it is a random spawn area between all the rooms down there like doom artis that have a random area. it would be good info to find out for sure.
This is very helpful! Thank you bajathief. I was thinking they were both downstairs.
-
Does anyone have any updates to this elusive item? I have been stealthing Bedlam for the last couple of days hoping that most people are focused on getting Tokuno Artis and/or getting cloaks and other items from the Shadowlords apprearing. I still have not seen one of these or grabbed one myself. Also, it seems that whoever is grabbing them is not selling them as I have not seen these on any Venders. Would be nice to have a couple of the Academic Bookcases in my Museum. I know I can always go the token route and buy a token for the Full Bookcase, but that is too easy!
-
I grabbed 2 of the stacks of books in the bedlam spawn area in the bottom left bookcase area. both spawned in the exact same spot. I stopped camping them as the worth did not equal the time spent... especially with those now being acquirable through tokens.
