How the hell do you get the elvish speaking tome

[Vattghern]

There are 3 maxxed out affinity elves, iv done the bow quest and the tree quest.

how do i get it?

I just raised affinity with the inn keeper and the item shop vendor and got handed it eventually.

Same with aphonite, the little witch girls grandfather randomly handed it to me on ng+.

with affinity to a NPC in Sacred Arbor. It is enough to give 3x flowers to the same npc with sleeping in between. The NPC should give you the rolle then

really? 3x (1 per day, so you have to sleep after each gift) should do the job, no?

Strange. 3x flowers is enough, actually.

To get the Woodland Wordsmith's Tome, you must make your way to Sacred Arbor, the home of the elves. There, you can give an elf of your choosing a Bunch of Flowers (or another gift that they like) once per day for three in-game days, and then they'll reward you on the fourth day with the Woodland Woodsmith's Tome.

Flowers + Elven Chick = Acces to Elven Language

There are rumors that most people have the same choices for finding tomes, but a select few have other npc options. I have heard online of Eldart, Grisha, and the Innkeeper Kough have been reported to share a possible table based on the save file, but the vast majority tend to find it on the Innkeeper. The good news is if there is a discrepancy on a few tomes it's limited to different merchants or someone of value anyhow.

To make it a bit more difficult though some npcs like to bug out and not offer the tome.

In your case I would carefully make sure they are blushing hard and inn sleep a day away from Sacred Arbor then return and see if that helps. You can also save and quit and come back to the game after being away a while and then talk to all three options I listed after making them all blush hard.

I would give innkeeper bunch of flowers.... go to nearby bench and sit 4 times to reset to next day... 3 times and she gave me the tome when I left her dialogue to walk away.....

also got an extra tome from the vendor that sells weapons... I gave her flowers too.... she didnt give it at first.... but one time there was an attack near her where she walked up to me afterwards and gave me another tome for elvish language...

I have found dozing off nearby the specific npc's you are affinity raising doesn't always work. It's also hard to test for. I have had much higher success rate on npcs being stable but you have to use the Inn or inn save. It is probably why I saw such high requirements of Wyrmslife crystals I did for quite a few npcs who were not responding. They behaved better when I used an Inn.

In any case I had to resort to running back to my house every time I gifted a pool of npcs instead of the free option because it was costing more crystals if I didn't. It could also be that when I travel far enough of away from the npcs they "unload" from the game world and it speeds up their adjusted affinity settings. This is all just guesswork at this time.

edit: the comment on them responding after an attack is useful knowledge thank you. I am guessing it kickstarts their AI for whatever bug they are having.
