Planar's Manual
# Jan 14 2006 at 5:33 PM Rating: Decent
I've been looking on here and trying to find out what the purpose of this book is other than to get other quests. Is it used to access certain planes? Some talk about the item getting better, how exactly does it get better? Anyone own one of these and can give some insight into the benefits of this item would be greatly appreciated.

Edit: Basically is it just a place holder kind of item, that is used to get you to higher items?

Best map to for quest

Use this as a guide, I printed it and got the quest done very quicky (3 times).

Traveler's Manual Quest Map with Instructions

Had to complete this quest 3 times for the 3 other manuals (combat, magic and stealth). It eats the manual with the turn ins =( .

I might do it a 4th time to keep the travelers manual in case the faction modifier is usefull later on.

Hope this info comes in hand.

well, if you see the RELATED quests, this little book gets better and better...

Book Location
# Aug 30 2003 at 3:12 PM Rating: Excellent
The book is located on the shelf next to the NPC named Sir Geravaldin he sells the Ardathium volumes. The shelf you need is the one that Sir Geravaldin is facing also. If you face this book shelf, the book spawns on the lower right hand side of the shelf. Sir Geravaldin is located on the 2nd level above the druid spell merchants.

i went to this location and picked up the book but it wasnt the same book. the one i got was called "History of Evils: The Age of Scale". Lore, No Drop,class none race none. cant read or equip it. im wondering if they changed what book spawns there or if there is some sort of rotation.
RE: Book Location

Thats the book for Willamina's quest for sewing needles ya get the Planar Travelewr's Manual from Willamina after ya do her quest in PoK.
RE: Book Location
# Apr 26 2004 at 9:29 PM Rating: Decent
Hopefully this has been made clear to you by now, the book you picked up is the beginning of the quest... The manual is the reward at the end. Read carefully "result of a quest" and "used in a quest".
Enhanced Vision
# Mar 28 2003 at 9:06 AM Rating: Decent
Has anyone noticed that when you equip this, you get some sort of night vision. It isn't as good a wolf form, but it is still good for Humans, etc without night vision

The item acts as a light source, there aren't any special effects on it that I know of.
Exp Gain
# Jan 03 2003 at 8:45 AM Rating: Decent
The actual experience gain is equal to about 1% on a lvl 6 Barbarian. So, that's about as much exp as you get for turning in your newbie note :)

This quest can be done backwards starting at the book, just get each item and hand it to the next guy:

When loc includes 3 values, the 3rd one will vary a little depending on how tall you are so the library exit is at height 2 for a halfling but height 11 for an ogre.

Get Book: it's on the bottom shelf located at neg 93, pos 977, pos 66 (it's about a 30 minute respawn give or take)...
Library exit is at neg 10, pos 836, pos 2 and can be a pain to find :)

neg 554, pos 1213, neg 124
Agrakath Theric eyes go wide...

neg 345, pos 760, neg 93
Caden Zharik eyes go wide...

pos 24, pos 325, neg 125
Boiron Ston seems to perk up...

pos 391, pos 938, neg 93 (inside wooden building)
Elisha Dirtyshoes reads the letter and...

pos 444, pos 143, neg 157 (inside white building)
Arch Mage Narik says...

neg 647, pos 1048, neg 125 (inside tall building in bad part of town)
Onirelin Gali says...

pos 693, pos 105, neg 157
Oracle Cador says...

neg 89, neg 207, neg 157
Mirao Frostpouch takes the powder...

pos 681, pos 948, neg 125
Bolcen Tendag says...

neg 421, pos 1158, neg 126
Willamina takes the needles...

Recieve Planar Traveller's guide

Exp gained from this quest is tiny (not even 1% at level 35), none of the turn-in's adjust faction, the only point is to get the guide.

Thanks for this excellent backwards walkthrough. It worked like a charm.

Hey people....can bards bypass this quest by using there faction song on npc's instead of having to hold this book?
RE: just a thought
# Oct 28 2002 at 2:18 AM Rating: Default
Bard faction song has no effect here
RE: just a thought
# Nov 23 2002 at 6:09 AM Rating: Good
Besides this quest is a stepping stone to better range slot items.
RE: just a thought
# Jun 04 2003 at 10:16 PM Rating: Decent
That better Item being the "beginner magic manual". Go buy/bake a Hobgoblin surprise and turn it and the book into Acomor Lothwol.
Beads?

Just did the quest and got an item that looks like a necklace not the book, same stats though...

Probibly cause you have a skin loaded on your UI, it does that to quite a few items
faction modifier
# Oct 23 2002 at 3:04 PM Rating: Decent
Has anyone figured out the faction this actually modifies? I equipped it and got the usual indifferent from everyone I con'd in PoK. Useful in other planes perhaps?
RE: faction modifier
# Oct 23 2002 at 4:03 PM Rating: Decent
If you identify it, then it should show what factions gets modified. It should work, I know for sure it works for the Haven Amulet, which is the Shadowhaven faction modifier.

Just did this quest with my level 5 bard (though it'll be long beofre he gets any use out of this, other than the 1ac 2cha!) and had an enchanter cast identify on me while I held it... got the message "This item gives positive faction with the inhabitants of Tanaan." Not sure if they meant New Tanaan, which it what the entire settlement in PoK is called, or just Tanaan, the neutral district of PoK. Likely this gives you enough of a faction boost to do quests in PoK the inhabitants won't even mention to you otherwise.

Now I have to do this quest with characters actually high enough to do the quests... wwhich I'm not even sure if my 46 monk can do yet. Time to get more xp in old world first...

Person posted on the page for this item's quest that some NPCs had more to say if you have this equipped, they give out more quests, go have a look.
spawn timer

spawn timer on book is 5mins
Walk Through
# Oct 22 2002 at 7:35 PM Rating: Excellent
Talk to: Approx Loc:

1) Willamia -425, 1105
2) Bolcen Tendag 675, 945
3) Mairao Frostpouch -85, -210
4) Oracle Cador 685, 160
5) Onirelin Gali -645, 1040
6) Arch Mage Narik 415, 15
7) Elisha Dirtyshoes 395, 935
8) Boiron Ston 20, 325
9) Caden Zharik -340, 760
10) Agrakath Theric -550, 1205

Go to Library, second last floor, next to Sir Geravaldi, on the bottom shelf to find Agrakath's Tome (book) "History of Evils: The age of scale".

Possibly on spawn timer. /shrug

One of the above must be visited twice. You will be able to tell from the NPC conversations. I think it was Onirelin Gali.

Each NPC will need an item from the next until you get the book Agrakath is looking for. Then you must retrace your steps backwards till you get to Williama again. She will hand you the above listed item.

Good luck!

Update to location:
Caden -350, 750
Agrakath -550, 1200

The book shelf is next to the top floor -85,990

The book is on a 10 minute spawn timer (approximately).

Some of the mobs walk around so if they are not at the given location then check in the area for them.

Edit: Well, it DOES. Geez, why does everyone have to rate my post as awful, when half the posts flaming other people get left alone?

Edit Edit: Thank you for those who up-rated Smiley: grin

They should call it "The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Planes"...

Well, if so, we can't tell you the question, because then the Universe would dissolve, only to be replaced by something even more ridiculous!

DON'T OPEN THE BOOK!!!! Smiley: jester
