Okay, what exactly are the requirments of getting the weird tome?

My wizard has spent a lot of time in the libary, doing nothing but reading and eating, but has seems to have not been able to get the weird tome. (by amount of time spent I meant bloated to starving to bloated to starving to bloated to starving, 2 artifacts, champion of order.)

Yes, I have used magic to clear the libary, but the guidebook says in recent versions that it is okay.

I have left the libary a couple of times while trying to clear the libary, would that affect anything?

What did I do wrong?

you are mute, correct?


You feel a surge of power. Suddenly your extraordinary carrying capacity fails you. You are crushed by the tons of luggage you are carrying. You die...

The guide said you didn't need to be mute anymore, but yes, I was mute (yes, I ate a harpy) after I killed everyone with spells (Which, to my knowlege, is talking).

The guide gave a senario of a somone clearing out the libary, then sat and read books for a while without being mute, and still got the Tome. That is about what I did, cept I ate a harpy corpse and left the libary twice to recouver (I had a unicorn chasing after me)

Info in the GB isn't necessarily correct in every aspect so you shouldn't believe everything you read there as if it were the Bible or something(and even the Bible isn't right all the time).

Maybe the ghost librarian requires you to 'stay quiet'(whatever that requirement is) the first time you enter and doesn't like you running out and in again all the time? I don't know. I've only got a couple of chars that far in the game, the other didn't go to the library and the other, a wizard, killed everything there with spells and read some books and didn't get the weird tome.

I think the weird tome is a weird item and the way to get it is pretty weird and probably not everything is known about how to get it.
If you're feeling happy, don't worry, it'll go away.

how could you still cast spells when mute? I have been playing wizards a lot lately and its impossible to cast while mute......maybe there was just a glitch in the game or youre in a different version?

Well, what I meant is that I ate the harpy corpse after clearing the libary, (it wore off pretty quickly though). Does the libarian have to be outside the libary in order to get the tome?

Well, it doesn't matter, she died. Killed by a really high level tree. Used fire in the middle of the animated forest while forgetting that new rules where something gets stronger everytime I kill one it.

Anyways, I'm now working on a drakling theif. Very promising, got two precrowing already(sorched spear and preserver), aiming for the third.

You don't have to be mute to get the weird tome. All you have need to do is stay in the library without talking to anyone, and wait. You can attack or use magic if you want to, as it doesn't affect the outcome of getting the tome. Also, the librarian will move when you are to receive the tome. The only part you have to worry about is starving to death, so bring plenty of food. Also, it helps to be able to read those spellbooks so you can pass the time more quickly

I belive that you might have to return a book to the librarian in order to get the tome..
My character was not mute and used both magic and melee to clear put the library.
The Librarian didn't move before i talked to him.
