“Higher Learning” Achievement
How to get it?
How?... Read the volumes of "The Schools of Arcane Magic" found in Dalaran listed below.
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Introduction
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Conjuration
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Enchantment
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Necromancy
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Abjuration
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Divination
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Illusion
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Transmutation
Rewards
You will receive:
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Mastery
Kirin Tor Familiar - Battle Pet
The Schools of Arcane Magic
are a series of in-game books relating to the
Higher Learning
achievement.
The Achievement
The achievement requires you to read all eight books, all of which can be found in Dalaran at eight fixed locations. Each book always spawns at the same spawnpoint, but shares this spawnpoint with 3-4 other (Fake) books that do not count toward the achievement. So you basically have to get lucky and hope the correct book spawns, one of those listed above.
Books despawn 3 minutes after being read, and approximately 3-4 hours after the despawn of a book at a particular spawnpoint, a new book will spawn.
So to recap, In total, there are eight locations where books can spawn. After reading any book, it starts a three-minute timer. The books despawn when that timer expires, but until then can be read by any number of other players while they are active, making "group hunts" for these books viable. Respawn timers appear to vary but most spawn around the three hour mark, the timer starts after the books despawn, but it isn't always the same book which appears. Instead, a book appears to be chosen at random from the set of books assigned to that location, probably by RNG.
Hot Tip
Whenever the servers reset, such as when the servers comes back online following Tuesday/Wednesday Maintenance, a book will spawn at each of the locations. You may get lucky and get a lot of “Real” books that way. If you do find a “Fake” book, don’t just leave it… read it and it will despawn and start the timer for that location, it’s important we clear this timer if we need the book from that given location. So starting this achievement after a server restart will increase your chance to get a lot of the "Real" books, all at once. The second factor in this is, that directly after all these books are first clicked, they despawn and the respawn timer starts, which is a fairly standard 3-4 hours... which means that you only need to come back at the 3 hour mark and the books will start spawning, so hopefully you will get more of them then.
As the week after the server restart progresses, the spawn timers (which can vary) will move spawn times further and further apart, so the first 6-8 hours after the restart is a great time to establish your collection.
The Strategy
Fist, make sure your at the right Dalaran! Its the older Dalaran (Northrend) you need to be at... and visit each of the eight spawn points, you can get there via the new portal room in your capitol city (8.1.5).
If you find any books, read them. If it is one of the eight books for the achievement, fantastic, you won't have to visit that particular spawnpoint again. If it is one of the fake books, make a note of the time - you should revisit this spawnpoint after exactly 3 hours to check for respawns, just remember to “read” it, which will trigger the respawn and start the timer. Until you have read books at all locations you should continue doing the tour to the spawn points with very short intervals to avoid missing a book because someone else reads it, and you don’t get back in time.
Please see the spawn log I attached at the bottom of this post which was taken over an 8 1/2 hour period while researching this guide.
Now go do something else until three hours have passed from when you read your first fake book. Go to the location where you read it, and wait for a new book to spawn. You should keep checking the spawnpoint for the following hour to avoid someone else reading the book while you're not there. As more spawn points hit the 3-hour limit, you should fly/run between these spawn points to check for new books.
Using this strategy you will probably have read 4-5 of the Higher Learning books after your first day in Dalaran, I would have read 4 just from the logged results in the attached chart. From then on it's a matter of luck - and the time you dedicate to book chasing - how fast you will get the last books.
The Spawnpoints
Dalaran Map (Northrend)
The Green dots indicate the locations of the Books within Dalaran, each picture is of the books spawn point and gives the co-ordinates and description of each. I tended to do the Violet gate first as its right across from the spawn point in Old Dalaran, then do a counter clockwise circle around the spawns, I could easily manage that in under a minute for all 8 spawnpoints.
Spawnpoint 1
1 “The Violet Gate” aka The Transportation Crystal Room Coordinates 56.7,45.6
The books known to spawn here are:
•
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Introduction
•
The Archmage Antonidas Part II
•
The Old Wizard's Almanac
•
The Worst Mage in Dalaran - A Children's Book
The city side of Dalaran's famous Violet Gate provides access to the city for land-bound travelers, across from
Krasus' Landing
, directly across from the spawn point. A book can be found on the ground here, in front of the bookcase to your left when standing in the building and facing the street exit.
Next we are back out of the door, turn left and head down to the Legerdemain Lodge. If you go in the first door you come across you can see an empty bookcase across the room near a stove.
Spawnpoint 2
2 Legerdemain Lodge Ground Floor Bookcase Coordinates 46.8,40.0
The books known to spawn here are:
•
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Transmutation
•
Excerpts from the Journal of Archmage Vargoth
•

•
Polymorphic Rules & Regulations
•
Weathered Diary - Dates from the Third War
As Dalaran's largest and most successful inn, the Legerdemain Lounge enjoys a prominent location on the corner across from the Magus Commerce Exchange. There are two entrances for this popular Inn, if you follow my initial route you will enter through the East Door. There are two empty bookshelves on the ground floor. The one you need is across the room near the western entrance, near to a stove, as you can see the book spawns on the second shelf from the top.
From here we need to go upstairs, so turn around and you will see the stairs across the room, go up them. When you reach the top, keep left, go across the landing into the Left Bedroom There are three doorways on the landing, the left is the one you want, the right is another bedroom, and the middle is an exit into a balcony (which you can mount up on once you checked the bookshelf).
Spawnpoint 3
3 Legerdemain Lodge Bedroom Bookcase Coordinates 46.8,39.1
The books known to spawn here are:
•
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Necromancy
•
Thinking with Portals - A Memorandum on Proper Portal Usage
•
To Do Today
•
The Archmage Antonidas Part III
There is only one empty bookcase on the second floor, its in the left bedroom directly across from the entrance as you can see from the picture. Once you checked there, lets go out onto the balcony and mount up. Our next stop is the Threads of Fate Balcony.
Spawnpoint 4
4 The “Threads of Fate” Tailor Shop Balcony Coordinates 43.5,46.6
The books known to spawn here are:
•
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Enchantment
•

•
Remedial Magic 101: Tips from the Pros
•
STAY OUT!!!
•
Portals are NOT Garbage Bins!
This clothing shop is directly across the street from the Violet Citadel and is nextdoor to the Wonderworks (the toy shop). You'll find the book on a crate on the upstairs balcony, If you have flying… you can fly directly onto the balcony, or just eyeball the crate to see if it has anything on it. If you don’t have flying, you can access the balcony by taking the stairs inside the building, travelling up them will take you out onto the balcony.
From there we fly over the road to the Violet Citadel.
Spawnpoint 5
5 Violet Citadel Ground Floor Bookcase Coordinates 30.8, 46.0
The books known to spawn here are:
•
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Conjuration
•
In Time, the Arcane Corrupts ALL!!!
•
Journal of Archmage Antonidas
•
Kirin Tor Monthly (March Issue)
•
LAVA BLAST - by Pyroco
The
Violet Citadel
is the imposing home of Dalaran's ruling mages, occupying the entire western end of the city and the Citadel is its tallest building. Fling directly over from the balcony, or jumping from it on your ground mount ascend the steps and go in through the main door.
Standing on the blue rug in front of Rhonin (Leader of the Kirin Tor), turn towards the two bookcase on your right. The left one of these on the bottom shelf is where the first spawn point is. When a spawn is not up you will only see a book on the right side of the bottom shelf, our book spawns to its left in what is normally an empty space. See where the arrow is pointing in the picture above.
Spawnpoint 6
6 Citadel Upper Bookcase Coordinates 26.5,52.2
The books known to spawn here are:
•
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Divination
•
Kirin Tor Monthly (May Issue)
•
Losses of the Third War
•
On the Virtues of Magic
A second book can be found on the floor upstairs between the bookcases, so first we ascend the stairs and turn to the left, a lot of guides tell you its near a portal, that is not the one you see at the top of these stairs. Ignore the portal and look towards the two bookcases to your left, opposite the side where the portal is. It took the portal clue listed as gospel, only to find I was looking at the wrong spot, so… to reiterate, it's up the stairs to the archmage, and turn left! Looking at the picture above, you can see just how visible it is.
So next… back down both sets of stairs back onto the street below, continuing our circle counter clockwise is the Dalaran Visitors Center.
Spawnpoint 7
7 Dalaran Visitors Center Coordinates 52.3,54.8
The books known to spawn here are:
•
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Abjuration
•
Blinking Rules & Regulations
•
Bundle of Romantic Correspondences
•
Damaged Apprentice Journal
This civic office overlooks the Eventide in southern Dalaran. Just travel down the road towards the statue and what many refer to as the alliance bank and its just around the corner to your left. You will see the Kirin Tor symbol on the shop sign. The book can be found on the floor next to a small table laden with books. You will need to go in, as its hard to see this one without entering the doorway.
So next off to the Violet Hold area…
Spawnpoint 8
8 Violet Hold Area Coordinates 64.42, 52.37
The books known to spawn here are:
•
The Schools of Arcane Magic - Illusion
•
The Archmage Antonidas Part I
•
The Dangers of Magic Abuse
•
The Fate of Apprentice Argoly
•
The Fluffy Bunny
Long home to Dalaran's most dangerous criminals, the
Violet Hold
can be found along the southeast edge of the city. A book lies on a crate at the northern end of the non-instanced area of the Hold, next to
Archmage Timear
who gives the weekly’s… he’s standing in front of that blue portal that doesn’t function and behind him are two crates, one has a candle, the other appears to have a wine glass on it… the book spawns just behind the wine glass as shown in the picture above.
Well that's it for the Spawnpoints, my advice is for you to fly or ride around these spots... get fluid in going between one and another, and once you have done it a few times you probably wont need this guide anymore.
Last but not least
Many hours went into researching this guide, reading other guides, scrolling through forums, comments sections etc, but the one guide that really helped me immensely, and on which I've based most of this guide on was one by
Arfan
. His guide was short, sharp and to the point, but covered a lot of what is in here, it was explicit enough to get me researching and checking facts and comments of both Arfan and others on the forums. So Kudos to you all, and Arfan, your a rockstar... without your initial guide I would have given up like so many others have. I added info on all the spawnable books, pictures of the spawnpoints, coords for all those TomTom users out there... and at the end of the day this is my first guide, and I just want to be a contributor :) So good luck to you all, now GO GET THAT PET!
After reading all eight books, you will get The Schools of Arcane Magic - Mastery in your mail. Read it while you're still in Dalaran, and you will be teleported to a secret room in the tower of the Violet Citadel. Speak to Archmage Vargoth and show him the book - he will then give you the Kirin Tor Familiar. You will be happy, elated, relieved it's all over, calling up your new pet to get aquainted, then a new question will enter your mind... How do you get out of the room?
