Has anyone gotten the Treasure Appraisal Guide?

[starryariane]

I have played over a year already in 1.6 and I have not gotten the Treasure Appraisal Guide from the bookseller, mystery boxes, or any artifact troves. My last achievement is to read all the books but I haven't been able to complete it and it's getting kind of frustrating. Has anyone been able to get the Treasure Appraisal Guide in their games yet?

I found it. These things are random. It took ages for me to roll the Gold Walnuts from the Muscle Rocks at the beach, despite being ~10% of dropping.

Just keep opening the troves till you get it. Starting at Year 3 the books seller has a ~9% chance to sell the Treasure Appraisal guide, so you may get lucky quickly or it can take a long while.

Personally, I would recommend farming up Omni Geodes from Skull Cavern, then buying a bunch of troves and going on an opening spree.

There's probably an Item ID for the books posted somewhere at this point, if you hate RNG.

Just farm in Skull Cavern and stock up Artifact Troves. You will get them about 50 to 100 (My usual stock until I crack them open)

One choice is to use the predictor to see exactly when you'd get it from artifact troves.

yes.

I've gotten three from roughly 100 treasure troves.
