Temp Library Plus question?

[Crack Open a Cold One]

Do i need to do all the books before the factory incident? I got the Erbe Woodpecker book, did the elmo story section, and then did the smoke canister factory part. Now I found the librarian and she won't take my book? Please tell me I don't have to revert to an old save to finish that quest..

Check the bulletin board in the Guild. It tells you when sidequests have expired.

For future reference, quests is listed as "Short" (i.e. short-term) expire after the next story event. It's a good idea to scan the board before going to a designated cutscene location.

I believe you're fine--she'll take the book on the following day of the main narrative. (You'll experience an evening sequence of events, and the following day, you'll be back in business.)

At any rate, that's what I surmise while looking at a guide or two. (I'm actually at right around that part of the game myself!)

[Edit: Just played through that section, and I was right. EAS: The Temp Librarian *Plus* quests aren't on the bulletin board, and so the time-frame isn't listed there.]

I think you get a lot of leeway on the temp librarian quests, because you can't actually finish them until the plot advances a bit. Even after the factory incident, the librarian isn't at her job for a little bit. Basically, keep trying to complete them at every chance, and eventually it'll work.

Temp librarian ends when you start your final story quest of that chapter I believe. That being said I always do it AS SOON AS possible because I am paranoid. Because in all honesty, even though I know I got the time, I get super worried during the professor is kidnapped and you are stuck to a linear path until you heal Agate part.

But like I said, you should be able to do it as long as you don't start the final quest of that chapter. At least for the + ones. I am not sure if the first one gets expired.
