Gathering Folklore Tomes Patch 7.1

At the endgame for each expansion, gathering classes unlock their gatherable items and nodes using items called Folklore Tomes. These tomes unlock items for the specific zone or region they mention in their names.

These Folklore Tomes are purchased using Purple scrips; you can purchase some simply from scrips, but most of them require items called folklore tokens, for example Regional Folklore Trader's Token A. There are A, B, and C tokens.

You can then exchange your scrips or folklore tokens at the scrip exchange for folklore books to unlock nodes. Make sure you have completed the blue unlock quest near the scrip exchange for each expansion to ensure you can trade the tokens in for books.

1.1.

What Folklore Tomes Should I Go For?

The best tomes are going to be the ones with items you currently need. If you are going for big fishing, for example, check out what fish you need. If you want to craft certain items, go for those materials.

The books for the most recent expansion should be a priority if you have no other goals. From there, spend some time getting the cheapest books, as it is worth it to have all items unlocked. You just want to aim for what is most important to you first.
