Learning books

This page is about all 72 **learning book**s for all **twelve combat skills** and the **six workmanship** skills. If you are looking for the book which grants learning points, see Learning book. Books for crafting skills are called crafting books and for the combat skills, learning books. These books are necessary to increase the skill levels and to spent the earnt crafting and learning points.

For each increase of one level in any skill, only one point is needed, but the learning book is consumed. The books become more expensive when they reach specified levels, thus requiring more pennies to improve a skill. This will make a specialisation in any skill at the start, quite expensive, unless the player has found a way to earn sufficient money early on.

The reader can find the following information in this article: the first section explains the skill levels for each rank, the item value and the amount of money needed to reach a certain skill. The second section provides a list of vendors and spawning locations (with information on respawn) per each skill. The third section of the page has a table with all item ID's.

## Skill levels, item value books and required money

This sections explains the skill levels for each rank, the item value and the amount of money needed to reach a certain skill.

* Apprentice: level 0-24
* Adept: level 25-49
* Expert: level 50-74
* Master: level 75-99

So, for example, a character has a skill level of 25 in Rhetoric. In order to reach a new level, it has to read a crafting book of at least adept rank for this point on. Apprentice skill books can no longer be used by this character for this skill. It's also possible to read an expert on master book on for this skill, which increases the level by one point just the same. The downside is that these books have an higher item value and thus require more money to buy them if they can't be acquired by other means.

In the table below, you can find the item values for the following books:

 Learning

The table belows contains the minimal amount of pennies required to reach level tresholds. It assumes that they all have to be bought. Due to a large variety of prices, it will display the prices with different bartering percentages. The player has to add up the amounts to calculate the total amount needed.
