If you get lost like me there is a Library Teleporter at 43, 25

Comment by Oceandust

If you are stuck at 4/5 books and can't find the 5th one, abandon the quest and pick it back up. The 5th book will spawn.

Comment by Hyrcyne

If you get disconnected while having progress on the quest, you might log in back with not enough books to pick up to finish it. Abandoning the quest and picking it up again will respawn all the books.

I know that, "Knowledge is the best currency", but this is excessive!

Comment by dokenr

This questline was pretty cool. Congratz to the quest designer who made it.

Comment by NukeAlleria

Ta'eran has more books than I have copies of Playboy.

Comment by offspinner

After you've completed this quest you can use the teleporter outside the tower to return to the library basement, should you ever want to. Like a little secret base or something.

Comment by avatarofshadow

For some reason, the fifth book wasn't sparkly like the first four. Mine was in front of a bookcase by the door. So, if you get four, just kind of click around and hope for the best.

Comment by Eral

Found all 5 copies plus the 72 pages all within the library. You needs to hover the mouse carefully.

Comment by Doloria

The Archival Protection storyline is a breath of fresh air in Maldraxxus.
In the first 4 quests, adventurers lay the groundwork to enter the Sepulcher of Knowledge. This is a repository of books on military strategy. The last 4 quests are fun and a throwback to Legion quests in the Nar'thalas Academy in Azsuna. Once inside, chase the books. Ta'eran is your quest giver.

A Complete Set

More books required. But The Archivist is gone.

Archival Protection Storyline
Quest	Comments
1.	Read Between the Lines	Listen to quest giver Ta'eran.
2.	Repeat After Me	Honor physical rune stones. Do an emote in chat (like /kneel) suggested by the message on each stone. This invokes a hostile shade. There is a stone for each of the Maldraxxus Houses. Stone locations are shown on the mini-map as white circles. The order does NOT matter, despite quest instructions.
3.	Kill Them, Of Course	Start by clicking on the ornate power crystals: East Power Crystal and West Power Crystal. Then activate the regular green crystals. The East and West Power Crystal will activate 2 of these. The idea is to direct 2 power lines back to the 2 power obelisks. If power isn’t running where you want it to go, click on the East and West power crystals to redirect current. Repeat clicking may change the direction of the current. See if clicking on regular green crystals improves the directional flow. This is just trial and error.
5.	Secrets Among the Shelves	Collect multiple editions of 8 books. There are books on 3 levels. You can start on the second level. There are minor hazards on the stairs, balls and laser beams. They do little damage and are easy to avoid. Beware The Archivist on the top floor. It's protected by 2 flying book mobs Tome of War. Don't fight the Tomes, click on any books, and go downstairs. You won't get credit for killing The Archivist until you collect all books and Ta'eran gives you the quest Archival Protection.
6.	Archival Protection	Kill The Archivist. You'll also need to kill the adds, the 2 Tome of War. Sometimes there are other players in the tower that can help.
7.	Trust Fall	Just jump. Auto slow-fall will be cast on you.
8.	A Complete Set	More books required. But The Archivist is gone.

Does anyone else feel really bad on giving this valuable knowledge of Maldraxxus to this guy who clearly is totally unreliable?

Comment by Garrethus1

Has anyone abandoned the quest then Te'ran is at the Sepulcher underground and no where to be found?
This is the last piece for Shadowlands Loremaster and I can't find him anywhere anymore :(
