Divine Light Skillbook

[camelotcrusade]

Has anyone found a divine light skillbook? I learned it at some point, then un-learned it, assuming I could just pick it up later when I had more slots for abilities (I wasn't really using it at the time). I'm more than halfway through the game now and want to learn Divine Light again, and so far nobody has the book. Not Aureus, not the elemental at the end of time, not the guy who sells them in Silverglen... nobody.

After doing a lot of searching for information, I found that apparently the way I learned it was via a set drop in Cyseal (which I didn't know was unique) so PSA -- don't unlearn it thinking you can get it later. And if anybody actually has found one I'd love to know where. Been checking all the random rubes (no luck).

You can not buy a Divine Light skill book, but a hidden one can be found (in the smith's abandoned house in Cyseal - x:190 y:140), or it can drop as loot.

EDIT: actually, it can be bought from the fire elemental in the homestead, after that portal is opened. Availability of lower level spells is random, so you may have to keep checking back for it (NPC inventories reset every hour, or when you level up).

Thanks for the reply, Larian! That is in fact the book I had initially used (and had no idea it was special). I had decided to turn Bairdotr into a Ranger/Warrior and gave it to her. But she ended up staying mostly at range so I never used it (and thus, replaced it). Now that I am higher level and running into significant enemy bodybuilding I wish I had it back.

When you say it can drop as loot, does that mean it could spawn as a for-sale item on rare, non-vendor townsfolk who carry books? The drill sergeant in Cyseal for example often has a skillbook (I've even seen his selling elemental tortoise, a "secret" spell). I also wondered if I'd ever see them on vendors who have a small selection of books that seem to be random, such as the skeleton lady on the beach. Would appreciate knowing if it's worth my time checking them.

When I checked I was told it can not be bought, just the pre-placed book or it could drop as loot. I don't know if that means any random loot, or it is in specific loot tables for particular opponent(s).

Thanks for the clarification. Suggestion: make it easier to get, or at least have some way to make it clear to the player it's special and not to be deleted. Nobody really expects a level 1 ability to unattainable, do they? I sure didn't! Thanks!

You can buy it at the end of times, at least it works like that in my game.

@rkwipe You're right! I just went back and looked at the fire elemental and he's selling it! I must have checked him 5 times before it appeared, but today I was able to buy it. Great!

I though I saw it for sale earlier, but when I checked before asking about this it didn't show up, so when told it couldn't be bought I figured I must have been thinking of the one you can find. I guess the programmer forgot about the random selection of spell books the elementals can have.
I edited my post above, in case anyone finds this in a search.
