The new spell tomes' chest on Hob's Fall Cave is gone? (AE)

[Chemistara]

I've looked at everywhere for the chest but it isn't there, I though AE would've included it?

I have the unofficial patch enabled, maybe that's the main cause?

Update: I have disabled unofficial patch, still cant find the chest, and no vendors are selling the spells

I believe the update removed it, possibly because the regular spell vendors now sell those spells..... I did look for it myself, and while I found a chest with some spell tombs in it, it wasn't the full set of new spells like it used to be.

It was removed and the spells are integrated directly into the level lists and vendors. They will show up, like the vanilla spells, when your character has a high enough skill in that school of magic.

I found it just the other day. Should still be there, and it had all the spells it should have. The quest itself was removed:

The Ancient Tome chest located midway into Hob's Fall Cave is still available even though the quest has been removed and it still gives every single spell tome. The leveled robes can be purchased at the Radiant Raiment.

I'm thinking of the Necro Tomes, I guess.
... or maybe I'm just generally confused all around. (no surprise there)

The chest in Hobs Fall Cave is part of the Arcane Accessories pack. And I just checked, its still there, slightly hidden in a darker area of the room, in the room with the stone platform on the floor, to the right of a bookcase. The tomes from the Necromantic Grimoire pack have to be bought or found randomly, though a few are in guaranteed locations.

The chest with the spells from the Arcane pack is still there with all the books inside, as mentioned the quest was removed but everything still works as it should, as for the necromantic grimoire spells you can only get them by purchasing them or by finding them in some spots or as loot from spellcaster enemies, for example the Ritual Stone near Whiterun has one of the spellbooks lying around.

Indeed. That spell book in particular, is arguably one of the strongest, if not the strongest, summon in the game. It can be cast by a L1 character and will remain viable for most enemies throughout the entire playthrough.

An Altmer can have 300 Magicka as early as level 8 or so. Pending, the rng on magicka enchanted gear. That means the summon will have 600 in all 3 attributes. With very few acceptions... Nothing can kill it until mid to late game.

Yes, I know, where it has two chests and a shelf im between them, the problem is the chest that stores the spell doesnt exists here

There was an update? Maybe you could redirect me to the update log or something?

It does still exist there unless you have a mod that removes it. I'm looking right at it right now.

I am having the same issue, can you tell me how you installed the cc contents? I am clueless. It says I own it, but when I try to download it, it says it can't connect to bethesda.net.
