Ive seen it also. Those vendors are also laying waste to sand giants~

confirmed, ancient has multiple spawn points.... appears to spawn anywhere a ruined construct spawns... have killed 7 now, dropped the helm + key every time, plus misc runes/words/etc several times.... suspecting that tome now drops off of any named type mob of high enough level... Ruined & ancient constructs immune to mez, very magic resistant, cold lands nicely though, not sure about fire.

Killed Ancient Construct and Old Construct 2 times each today. From Ancient Construct I got Rock Helm of Defense, Steel Bracer of Law, and pages for the new Hole quest. Old Construct dropped 2 Shiny Gold Earring and more pages for the quest. Steel Bracer of Law appears to be rare drop from Ancient Construct since I have not seen it mentioned anywhere, this leads me to doubt Tome drops off Ancient Construct, if it does, it must be ultra rare.

Killed 9 old constructs, all earrings, keys and quest pages. I haven't been able to spawn an ancient yet, despite 5 hours down here killing 3 of the ruined.

Ive found so far taht the best place to do this solo is around the docks, when entering the dock area, follow the right wall back to the corner, this is a safe spot. clear the 2 golems and 2 ghosts near the water, 1 ghost on the second floor of the building just outside the dock area, and 2 golem roamers. Then pull mobs from the more difficult section to the west back to the dock area. Kill, rinse, repeat. I have been killing the spirit of the old city (dont think a named spawns there, but its in the way) the ratman inhabitant (this can spawn a named) 2 roaming ruined constructs (have seen 1 spawn a named before) and 1 ruined from a building near the gate to the tunnel (have seen an ancient spawn here before).

make sure the ancient isnt up somewhere else. iam pretty sure there cant be more then 1 ancient/old up at any given time.

I've definately had 2 olds up at once. Finally got ancient to spawn late last night, just helm and key on him.

I've spent 3 days now (10+ hours a day) killing stuff in the hole.
I go from zone in down to Yael's old spot and back clearing undead tower along the way.
I've killed 5 or 6 ancients, 10+ old's, some other named mobs, and have yet to see Tome of Miragual.

Will keep up the clearing a bit longer, but am starting to lose hope.

broken vs. ruined

Is it just me or does it seem that "ancients" can only spawn in place of "ruined" constructs and gargs. I've spent a good deal of time killing the brokens that are on the path from the ruins to the temple and I've yet to see an ancient spawn there.

I'm having a hard time finding it likely it would be on a construct or gargoyle. 2 of the books come from small raid targets. 3 of the books off notable nameds for their zone. Maybe we need to start collecting a list of other notable nameds that have been tried in the zone?

Is it possible that Ubisoft has tinkered with drop tables in ways that Sony has not (since the report was from the German server)? Do we have any confirmations on a construct droping it on a Sony server?

[Funeral]

I've killed every named mob... epic dudes, nortlav, etc etc.
No book so far.
So possibilities include: its an extremely rare drop off of ancients, its extremely rare off one of the other named mobs (epic, nortlav, etc), its a triggered event from one of the various NPCs, or it simply is broken, and the report from Kael server with a broken link was a hoax.

[Aryshem]

This is ridiculous, Tome of Miragul, being the first book to start the quest, you would think it would be the easiest one to acquire


Well, back to farming The Hole...

[Emelyn]

Yes, I'm itching to be able to work on the tradeskill parts of this, as I'm sure many of us are. I have 5 books, but am stopped by not having the first. Grr.
