[dragonslayer]

Well, there is no skill book for repair and thrown weapon i think, never seen one, any other books have been found.

That junk dealer in East Willow.He sells books of light armor,medicine and pierce weapon.Tested.

[okashii]

Thanks carrotghoul =] by junk dealer you mean tavern owner?

[Krafen]

The books sold by a vendor is random. If you can't find a book you want, the vendors restock each week.

[RasterOps]

Great post BTW!

Odd that there is no Mercantile trainer anywhere in the game. I mean where did all the traders learn their skills and did they learn the hard way like me?

I wonder if a Mercantile trainer could be added in a patch?

[Eschalonian]

The thread starter said, "All skills but one have books available". Slarty, is this still true? You never corrected your statement.

[CrazyBernie]

There should be a book for every skill.

True but there are trainers for the last two. Only Meditation has to be picked at start up.

[cal1s]

looking for the mercantile trainer. anyone?

Not in Book 2.

TRAINER (to level AND BOOK (to level 10):
TRAINER (to level ONLY:

If you put a space between the '8' and the ')' you get rid of the annoying "sunglasses" smiley - e.g.:

TRAINER ( to level 8 ), AND BOOK ( to level 10 ):
TRAINER ( to level 8 ) ONLY:

BOOK (to level 1) ONLY:

This isn't "wrong" per se - I just think it's a little misleading. Probably better as:

BOOK (to Level 1 from zero; otherwise +2 Levels) ONLY:

FWIW...

I believe that was deliberate - when Min-Maxing, you wouldn't use the book for two levels (= 2 Points) , if you can use it for learning the skill (= 3 Points).

(If there are books and trainers, you will of course use the trainers first.)
