How to use the Book of Skills and Scrolls???
Moderators: Myhrginoc, SiLenTx, Deathscythe
Well, I don't if it's the same aim, but here's my question : I created a barb... I found a book of axe mastery. This one has a yellow name (rare items) and different magic modifiers : axe mastery (1 cherge), resist cold, ans add life. So it's written that I have to keep it in my inventory... But nothing happens (the axe mastery skill does not apply).
Is there something I didn't understand ? Thanks

from what i've seen books are kind of like charges. for you to use that skill you must open up the current skill tab on the right side of your screen, then select the skill charge and use it. lvl 1 skills have one charge lvl 2 skills have 2, to recharge these books buy a scarab and mix it in the horadric cube. This is all speculation from me seeing as i have only just started. Oh and also to lvl up your books cvombine the book with a scroll of the same type. ie book of ghost + scroll of Ghost= lvl 2 book of ghost.

Read below its the answer to your question Kurie
But here are the different kind of books....
========================
Book of Skills
========================
a. Summoner's Books
====================
work as charms... obviously they have charges and enables you to cast or summon creatures according to skills... If you're running out of charges, buy a scarab and transmute it to charge the book but be aware the other stats will be random... but the skill and skill level was fix...
b. Mastery Books
==================
work as charms and also have charges (1 charge is enough) but the skill doesn't need to be on your right mouse button in order for them to work because they are passive skills... to see the effect use a weapon that your mastery book implies... so if it's a Book of Axe Mastery, use an axe, open your character tabs and look for your damages and attack ratings if it will change or upgrade once you put and lift the book on your inventory... doesn't need a scarab to charge because its unlimited...
c. Aura Books
=============
work as charms and also have charges (1 charge is enough) skill needs to be on your right mouse to activate ofcourse because its an aura... again doesnt need a scarab to charge because 1 charge was already unlimited...
Do I make myself clear??? Com'on guys v1.02 is great... It doesn't need the +2 to skills/+6 to stats per levelup, An item with 75 mods due to fury gems and a maximum sockets will full of leighann jewels!
Com'on guys wake up!!!...
the rest in the read me fileSiLenTx" wrote:If you're lucky enough to find a Book of Raise Ghost, combine it with the Scroll of Raise Ghost in the cube to upgrade its level by 1 up to level 20...
Book of Skill (level x) + Scroll of Skill = Book of Skill (level x + 1)
where x is the current level of your book

hmm, thats an interesting question... I would bet though that its like auras... only one of them will be in effect (non-cumulative). the question is then which one triggers first, not known. but if you have a level 30 sword mastery and a 20th level sword mastery book, loose the book as you are waisting invintory space at the best and you have a level 20 sword mastery (instead of 30) at worst.
does anyone know how to make an extracted rune magical or rare? I made tiru with the 2 to mana after each kill only being displayed, like it's supposed to.... so how can i make this rune magical as i intend on using it to make silence and according to the readme i can make it magical which will make silence even better well thats what i hope will happen

I'd like to add you can repair this like charges if you want to keep the same charm like stats on your book, but it has its price.aRacHnE" wrote:

Thats true My barb found a book of axe mastery and its working well... that is the time that I don't have any points yet on axe mastery skill in skilltab... after 5 mins of smashing some rogues in Burial Grounds, they dropped Scroll of Axe mastery then I'd upgraded my book to level 2 and the bonuses are working great... but when I tried putting 1 point on Axe mastery, it seems like they're ignoring the book's bonuses so it becomes useless once you've put skill points on the same skill based on what your book gives... is there anyone of you who experienced the same??Profound_Darkness" wrote:hmm, thats an interesting question...

If the statement above was true then I don't think its a major problem since the book's level doesn't increase when you have + to all skill bonuses so its better to throw them away than keeping them in your inv. If you want lvl 20 only to a certain skill then keep your book and don't put a skill points on it... just distribute them to another skills
BTW... I've noticed that Book of Warmth is not working... but I'm not sure
The simple answer is, only use books that give you skills you cannot have in other ways. My Zon is doing quite fine with several Paladin auras from books. Since they take up a fair amount of room, you don't want too many anyways.
Do the right thing. It will gratify some people and astonish the rest.

My Barb has sword mastery and I found a book of sword mastery, it appears that the skill points + book is not cumulative.
Also, I have a lvl 3 book of warmth, it does not appear to be working at all, because my mana doesn't recover any quicker with it equipped.
I also have a question, I have a book of prayer and for some reason it costs me mana points to have the prayer aura active. Did I not notice that prayer has always cost mana points or is this just bizzarre?
