BUG REPORT: Class unlock books and skill books do not work

[Asperger Berzerker]

The books that unlock classes do not work. I can buy and read them but they just disappear and you do not unlock the class. Then, if you read another book for a different class, that book will disappear and the last class book you read will re-appear in your inventory.

The books that increase skills like Insight, simply do not work. The book is consumed but the skill does not increase.

Are you actually waiting to finish reading? It doesn't unlock instantly like in the previous build.

Once you start "reading' you have to wait/pass time. Traveling on the world map is fastest, but timer is always ticking even when you walk around in town. Eventually you get an alert that you learned the new Magic/Class/Skill, and the book returns to your inventory, so another character can read it, except in the case of magic. Only mages can learn magic tomes and so far the only mages are Fiorella, Pheobe, and your own character if(and ONLY if) you chose the mage starting class.

And I STILL have not figured out how to recruit Pheobe in the new game. And I think Fiorella is only available if you commit to siding with Tulio. Which means you lose access to Martina, I would assume. I don't think the quest is completed far enough to say for sure if there's a way to get both Fiorella and Martina.

Oh and also I THINK the Intelligence stat impacts how fast you can finish a tome too but am not sure.

Jivebot, do you know where to get the various class books? I cannot find them anywhere. Also I started my character as a Ronin but I was able to go to the Wildmage Tower in the mountains and told Adeline that I wanted to learn magic - sure enough, my character was able to learn Magic from that point.

I am told you can buy them form the Mercenary Guild in Stirrup after you become a mercenary. But that quest is bugged for me, so I cant confirm. I got fed up and just used save editing to give myself the classes since I can't get them the normal way

Yes, you can buy them from one of the clerks in the Stirrup Merc Guild. I can't confirm if you have to be a member though, since I only discovered that merchant afterwards.

And Phoebe is recruitable now btw. It's just no random encounter anymore, but a fixed location. Makes a lot more sense imo.

What location is that?

[proton]

Banshee Gully
Roughly where the note from the tower points you to.
Also the target of the Wildmage initiation quest

I don't think i've come across that location yet, and my Wildmage Quest is bugged. No quest marker and the text for it in my questlog is blank. Can you give me a better idea of where that is exactly?

[proton]

It's SW of Blackthorne Arena, slightly farther than Wolford Village.
Roughly S of Brea and a little bit N of the entrance to the southern regions.

You have done the work of the gods today sir. Both Gortus and Alyanas salute you.

Sort of the upper left/Middle-ish region of the map. If you found that big hex-shaped occult altar just follow the path away from that altar and you'll find the town. Soon as you approach the entrance a mini-cutscene triggers. That's how you know you're there.

Depending on your choices there's a small bug you can avoid running into, but i'll have to spoil a bit. When you talk to the mayor, just go along with what he says and accept his invitation. Any of the dialogues that challenge or question him trigger a fight and then the dialogue is completely bugged out. But if you go along with what he wants the dialogue and quest progress plays out just fine

I found the mayor and the town and he ended up attacking me with some bugged dialog Yeah . But where exactly is Phoebe ? - still have not seen her.

I cleared the entire area except for the deep part of the secret basement .

[Jivebot]

If you followed my spoiler tip that shouldn't have happened. Unless it bugged out for you in which case you may need to load an earlier save and try again.

If you just agree to eat the food the Mayor offers you, you pass out and wake up next to Phoebe. She follows you until you save her master and then becomes an official party member

Ahh ok. I didn't agree to the food, so he just attacked . So I never saw phoebe. Maybe she is still sitting in some basement?
Or maybe i turned her away in the dialog bugged me mess. She never appears on screen . Anyway thx

Update: Okay i finally found Phoebe. She is indeed in the dungeon. I just couldnt get to her, because i coulnt kill the boss room yet - and the boss in there had the key. So except the missin text with the part with the Mayor, it all worked out.
