Books & Collections in ESO
There are three main types of Book Collections in Elder Scrolls Online, that are then sub-divided into many more:
- Shalidor's Library: This is a comprehensive collection of loreboooks available in the game, featuring almost 300 books related to the world's Lore and available for exploring once players have accessed the Mages Guild. Reading books within this collection increases the player's Mages Guild rank. Completing a sub-collection grants more points than individual books. Players can read these books from the game's menu.
- Eidetic Memory: Players obtain this "Skill Collection" as a reward for completing the Mages Guild main quest. This is a collection of letters, notes and books that are not covered under Shalidor's Library.
- Style Motifs: These consumable books are used by players for learning Styles crafting.
