Hi Everyone,
l'm new to this forum. My question is as follows: is it important to hold on to
all of the books that you find?
Be Well,

There are a couple of books that are important, but most can/should be sold. Spoiler: Secrets of Transference Circuits from the Crypt is important - don't sell that. In Book II, Orakur: Of Fact or Fiction is also important. Other than that, I would read every book you find, and then sell it. Some might not give you skills, but they may prove useful, like the Light Armor field guide, or whatever it's called.

There is one book that's important. You have to hold onto it until you find where to take it and get a nice reward..after you do some more searching for what's needed. But any you read and it gives you a skill, sell. If it's a child's book, sell. Hold everything else until you find what to do with the special one. You don't have to carry books with you. Find some place convenient to store them and come back later.

One small hint: doing a quest for Wendy will start you on the road for what I mentioned above.

Dragonlady gives great advice...for when you do Book II. In Book I, there are some interesting reads, and some useful books, but none that is as special as the one in Book II.

In B1, there's the transference circuits book (or whatever it's called) that the gal in Aridell asks you to find. That's one that probably shouldn't be sold, so you can get the quest experience.

sorry, I've been playing II and had that on my mind.

Thanks for corrections.

Hi Everyone,
l just want to thank all of you for the fast replies to my question. Dragonlady
stated that l could leave my books anywhere l find a spot. So if l terminate someone in there home l could make that my home then? lf l drop some items l still will have them when l return ? Do l have to put them in a chest?
l would appreciate some replies.
Thanks From the Tranceman60

You can store things in barrels or chests, and they'll remain there. Just make sure nobody sees you taking something out of a chest, or the townsfolk will brand you a thief. For that reason, I find that barrels are best for storing stuff. But either will do.

Just clarifying - they brand you as a thief even if they see you taking your own stuff out of the chest. So be very careful, a suggest barrels. In Book I however *spolier*:Once you have reached the underground repository, that is a great place to store stuff. If I recall there are two big chests in there, maybe only one. Either way, it's fairly simple to get to.

Thanks for the reminder, Troy. I had completely forgotten that book. I clearly need to play Book I again sometime soon.

I really wish I had known this when I went through book 1 the first time . I had to drop off my armor into a chest in the blacksmith's shop in order to carry that darn really heavy thing I can't remember the name of, an anvil or something that had to be delivered to the next town over? Anyway, I go make sure all the monsters are cleared out, then drop my armor and take the object, deliver it, fast travel back, take my armor... and he tries to kill me. I killed him and lost a good shop... as well as the majority of the rest of the town.
