Use and acquisition
Material search steps
1. Start with landmarks you can already reach safely. These are authored pickup candidates, not verified entrances or routes on the same floor.; Search reference: near Hidden Attic. Find a book with a pickup prompt and check that Old Books increased. Marker proximity does not establish the same room or floor.; Search reference: near Alchemist's Quarters. Find a book with a pickup prompt and check that Old Books increased. Marker proximity does not establish the same room or floor.; Search reference: near "Blue Goblet" Tavern. Find a book with a pickup prompt and check that Old Books increased. Marker proximity does not establish the same room or floor.; 2. Each of the three checked pickup templates awards Old Books × 1. Do not assume one pile supplies five or rely on an unverified respawn interval.; 3. The verified Book I recipe requires Old Books × 5 OR Paper × 5. Gather more if needed; not every decorative book in the world is collectible.
Crafting and unlocks
What to check if the recipe is missing
First unlock Cade Hawthorn and obtain Old Books OR Paper to meet the previously-collected requirement.; Check the matching entry at the recipe’s listed crafting location, then prepare the quantities below and craft. Pickup knowledge is not the crafting cost and does not establish your current inventory.; If the entry remains unavailable, check the listed station, crafting conditions and save progression.
