List of texts in the Arceuus Library ImageĪ letter from Lord Hosidius to the Council of Elders The tables below show the progress each tome will grant. When a book is used, it grants Magic experience equal to the player's Magic level times 11 or Runecraft experience equal to their Runecraft level times 4. You can use the Arceuus Library Books Calculator to determine how many books are needed to reach a target level or XP. Horphis will collect all manuscripts in your inventory at once and return an equal number of skill books when you speak to him. Additionally, you do not need to return to Horphis before you are able to collect additional manuscripts, so if you are already on the top floor after finding a manuscript, a good strategy is to immediately talk to Biblia to find the location of your next dark manuscript. Although the new room is chosen randomly, the manuscripts, like the books, have pre-set locations in each room (max 2 per room), so it is likely that two players randomly assigned the same room will have the same manuscript location. Each time you collect a manuscript, a new room is randomly chosen to hold the next dark manuscript assigned to you. Biblia on the top floor will tell you which room the manuscript is in. However, unlike books, you may only find the dark manuscript assigned to you. Horphis is a dark wizard interested in finding dark manuscripts. However, manuscripts are more difficult to coordinate upon.Īfter reaching 20% favour, players can start helping Horphis in addition to finding books for customers. If you wish neither to share book locations with other players nor to write down/memorise book locations, it is faster to search for dark manuscripts after 20% favour. With few players online, the locations may stay the same for over an hour. Players who do not want help from other players should go to a world with few players to increase the time between location resets, and take note of the locations of books. The quickest way to gain favour and experience is to coordinate with other players on finding books by sharing locations and collecting even the books you do not yet need. Around every 80–100 minutes, all of the locations of books and manuscripts change. If you choose not to do this, however, and the same book is requested before the location change, the book will still be found at the same location. After you give a book to a customer, it is recommended to return to the same location and get another copy of the book, in case it is requested again. The drop trick does not work and you cannot bank the books. You may collect books other than those currently being requested to be more quickly prepared for future requests. It is highly recommended that players speak to Biblia on the top floor to be told which room the requested book is located. It is recommended to have light-weight/ weight-reducing clothing such as the graceful outfit, or multiple stamina potions. Note that if a player is required to find either of the books Transportation Incantations or Soul journey, it is recommended to read them, as doing so will unlock the Kourend Castle Teleport spell and start the Bear Your Soul miniquest respectively. While the location of the books vary between worlds, the location of the dark manuscripts vary between players, and the locations of both reset after 80–100 minutes. The locations of the books and manuscripts can be extremely narrowed down by speaking to Biblia on the top floor, who will narrow the location of the text the player is looking for down to the floor level and the section of the floor where a requested book is located. Each of these manuscripts that are given to him will grant players 5% favour and a book of arcane knowledge. Once players reach 20% favour, they may speak to Horphis, an Arceuus resident who requires help looking for dark manuscripts.
Finding the correct asked for text, it will result in 2.5% favour gained and a book of arcane knowledge. The Library is the location in which players gain favour with Arceuus by speaking to either Sam, Professor Gracklebone or Villia to search bookcases for books or scrolls around the library for them.
