Skill Book Drops?

Hi, I'd like to find out where and how often the advanced skill books (sage and demon for levels 89, 92 and 99) drop. Please assist if you know the answer.

Thank you very much.

If you mean the natural way someone wrote a guide to skill books here
http://pwi-wiki.perfectworld.com/index.php/Skill_Books

It does not cover getting books from boutique items which has become increasingly common.

in the skill book it says the apocalypse pages drop in TT2-2 and TT3-1 but they also drop in TT1-3

The above are lists i had compiled. There's a few notes about them tho. I put an asterisk where something seemed odd (needed to be investigated) for instance an 89 skill made from old book pages which normally only make 92s.

The number in parenthesis is the level you can learn the skill (like (99)), however if i have a note like (<-89?)* after it, it means the level didnt quite make sense and i needed to verify that as well, for instance a rather early skill, like the 1st fist skill for BMs being oddly 99 instead of 89 like the 1st for each other weapon chain is 89.

Most info is taken from PWdatabase & ecatomb, but i already disproved ecatomb's odd listing of bow & arrow mastery being 99, when i've in fact seen the book which says its 92. So this means there are other possible innaccuracies and inconsistancies.

Great list, I double checked the archer section and the only error I spotted was that despite the description in the forge, you can get Winged Pledge from Mysterious Pages.

Editted list.

Wonder if this could get stickied somewhere. Tho my posts would need to be 1-7 (not 12-18).

Unfortunately there's no general class discussion forum. I suggest making an official unofficial wiki page on it.

There is something wrong with all the descriptions on the other page. When you trade advanced pages for a random skill, you don't need 50 advanced pages. You need only 30 for venos, and I think is the same for everyone.

It's 30 adv. mystical pages per skill. The pages cost 15 tokens, so it'll be 450 tokens.

It's 50 mysterious pages per skill. The pages cost 9 tokens, so it'll be 450 tokens.

The two trade-ins result in different skills with some slight overlap, as I noted in my veno skill breakdown I linked to. Same for old book pages and pages of fate - different skills with some overlap.

Note that with the current packs, the market price for an adv. mystical page or mysterious page is cheaper than 450 tokens.

To clarify: Sage/Demon Metabolic Boost is a level 99 skill even though it does the exact same thing as Sage/Demon Nature's Grace(which is a level 89 skill) and you learn Metabolic before Nature's. No idea what the Devs were smoking when they did that. Also, the Demon Book has a typo. It says it reduces the cooldown by 30 seconds, but it actually reduces it by 90 seconds exactly like Nature's Grace.

Off-topic: Darkslyph, I never did get my share from that Cape of Elite Leather that dropped during that Abaddon run.
