NPC’s aren’t selling spell books.
Anyone else have this problem?
After I bought Knock Knock and Fire Ball and a few others, none of the NPC’s are selling what I need. No Whipping Rocks, Acid Bomb or Armor Plate...? What the heck?!
I have traveled, leveled up (currently 22) and slept (and slept and slept...). Still, NOTHING. What a bunch of stingy butt holes! ;-)

Thanks for any help.

Try resting 24 hours, save, then check vender. If no book, reload until it’s there

each vendor has a specific spellbook assortment. Acid Bomb is from Crock only, Whipping Rocks and Armorplate from Kunar. Your level is plenty enough.
The assortment is fixed when you talk to the vendor for the first time or after 24 game hrs. therefore save before you talk to the vendor for the first time. If he doesn't sell what you need, reload, don't sleep.
The filters in the buy item screen is not reliable for spellbooks. Always scroll the list without filters set.
Another reason the spellbooks do not pop up is a game bug, which causes ammunition to be added and added until no further items are displayed. Solution is easy, buy all cheap bullets and arrows and create some space. Then rest once, and you should see new items. Hopefully the spellbooks will be among them.

Thanks. I’ll try that.
Something like that occurred in a previous run. I wanted Hunter Quarrels, but Anna kept loading up on basic arrows and stones. I can’t remember what the outcome was. I may have murdered her... 🤪

- You can have to low character level. For example, you need better Valkyrie to buy better spears and divinity books. It's level cap.
- Learn lore - different book's are in different places. For expample, on the same character level, T'Rang will always the best when you are looking hide-and-1-hit-ko items or superpowers. In Arnika you have temple, 90% books for sell are for divinity uster.

Vendor spellbooks are not guaranteed, as it should be.

Maybe I made the game mad...
I’ve killed Tanto Wasps and Vampire Bats and still have never gotten any wings.
And I still can’t find those missing spell books that the vendors are supposed to Carrie. Oh well, I just keep punishing the enemies without the spells.

Vampire Bat wings have a low drop chance, 5% or so. Tanto Wasps are more common, try Mine Tunnels and SE Wilderness. Maybe your level is already too high for them to appear regularly.

Will do, thanks.
