Note: The Annals of Darrowshire looks different from the other Musty Tomes.

If, for some reason, you cannot distinguish the difference this book is more annoying to locate rather than difficult. It's located inside Andorhal's town hall, as stated in the quest, amongst a bunch of Musty Tomes.

You must open a Musty Tome and hope that you find that this book is the one you're looking for. If you open the wrong one, you discover it's a trap and one to two ghouls spawn to thwart you.

You were absolutely correct, brianjz. The correct tome is actually white paged. The others are darker paged.

The models used by fake and real book are still different as shown in the "screenshot". However, if you have set your texture details to "low" (in video options), it can be hard to tell the difference, since the pages of the book just look blurred.

It should also be noted, that there is no guarantee that a real book actually exists. Last time I completed the quest, I had to open 7 fake books, before a real book actually spawned.

I turned up textures to high and still couldn't see any difference. I'd just say systematically open all the books sequentially until you get the right one.

I would like to confirm that the book is completely white from the sides. I had to keep looting the ruined books until the required book spawned.

I just completed this, and I can confirm that the book does look different. I have most of my settings on low, and could still tell a difference when I saw the tome.

The book is single toned, the fake books have pages that are white and dark

the real book has all white pages, easy

Comentado por 14507

The book is like 10x brighter than the others. You have to open the wrong books and wait for them to respawn in same location.

I can 100% confirm that the real book definitely looks different from all of the other books, I just did the quest not 2 minutes ago.

First and foremost, the fake books are indeed all bottom half white pages and top half gray pages.

Secondly, the fake book pages look to be a lower texture resolution. They don't look like actual pages if that makes any sense. The real book's pages will look like pages are supposed to look. When you see it, you'll know exactly what I'm talking about.

And be sure to hover your mouse over the books to light them up some, the room is rather dark. :)

it is true that the real book does look different but it doesn't mean it's always there, i had to clear the whole room of books and all were fake, if it's not already there you have to open up some fake ones to allow it to spawn

Just did this quest today and got the Annals from a supposedly "bad" book - so the trick does NOT work anymore.

Comentado por 28407

what a quest, cost me 1g repairs and 20 flash powder, after 30 tries didnt see a book that looks other than rest

Comentado por krimsinkourier

I just did the quest, and the texture trick worked for me, im running a nvidia card so there may be a difference between ATI & Nvidia as far as the textures are concerned. one note tho, the book was not popped when i went into the room initially, i had to open a few of the trapped ones in order for the real one to spawn

Comentado por 49444

sure the tome are all white pages but i had to loot like 10 tomes before the right one spawned they where all 2 colored (sorry for the bag english...)

Don't waste your time doing this quest...............After opening 30+ Tomes and killing 40+ Decrepit Guardians still no Book. What adds insult to injury is you don't get XP for the mobs killed.

There is an error in the text of this book. It says that the Battle of Darrowshire took place in the Second War, which is obviously not possible since the Scourge did not yet exist then.

Comentado por 17325

texture trick still works as of patch 2.1

Comentado por 50808

discoloration of books trick still works picked the right on my first try, not to hard to spot the difference.

Comentado por 60314

After opening books for half an hour and the real one not spawning, I've decided to come back later. It doesn't make any sense that there isn't always one real book *somewhere* amongst the fake ones. I could confirm that they all *looked* like the fake ones.

Comentado por solidsnak

I just completed this quest with a friend of mine and the pages of the books we got were ALL the same colors (off-white).

What a pain of a quest!

All other comments are true and accurate. There is a difference, and it makes it easier to see by changing the texture detail settings.

HOWEVER! I cleared the room of books TWICE before a real one ever appeared. What a pain.

If u take the time to read the book u will see the death knight reference, which is a class that will be coming soon in the new expansion pack "The Wrath of the Lich King." (page 5)

Funny thing i noticed was that i got it from same book as i got it from on my main char ( the book lying in the window... if its not the real try taking it and wait for it to spawn again)

screenshots are INDEED pretty useful. Thanks.

Its simple in the Town Hall the book that u want is brighter than all of them! :)

Comentado por ArgentAngel

Also, the real book has a faded 'x' on the lower part of the spine. It's kind of hard to see, but you can definitely tell it is the real book without having to go "are those pages white or grey"?

Full contents of the book:

The Annals of Darrowshire

Darrowshire, named from the Darrowmere Lake to its west, is a village tucked into the southern foothills of Lordaeron. Known for humble yet hardworking residents, Darrowshire stayed in the background of Lordaeron history until the second war.

Heroes were made during the war. And heroes were lost.

The Battle of Darrowshire

The Battle of Darrowshire took place in the middle of the Second War, when scourge forces rampaged across Lordaeron. Darrowshire was cut off from the bulk of Alliance forces, but the town was bolstered by a company of troops, a contingent of paladins of the Silver Hand, and a staunch group of local militia led by Captain Joseph Redpath.

The Scourge's first assault on Darrowshire were sparse. Small groups of marauding skeletons and corpses wandered the outskirts of the village and were easily defeated.

But the Scourge sensed the defenders' tenacity, and responded in kind; soon after the first wave of attacks a second wave emerged. Champion ghouls, servants of the ghoul lord Horgus, screamed down from the hills and clashed with the beleaguered Darrowshire defenders.

The Defenders weakened, but were relieved by paladins, disciples of the Silver Hand. Their leader, Davil Crockford, was a native of Darrowshire. He brought his followers to the village when he heard of the impending attack, and together with the defenders they held back the servants of Horgus.

When Horgus himself entered the battle, he met with Davil. For many minutes they fought and Davil eventually prevailed, but he suffered a mortal wound and died soon after defeating the ghoul lord.

The battle continued, and Captain Redpath led his militia bravely. And it might have been won, had the captain not been corrupted by the Death Knight Marduk the Black.

In the middle of the fray Marduk rode up to Redpath, and with black magic he tore loose Redpath's spirit, twisting it into an evil shadow of the brave captain.

The corrupted Captain Redpath then spread his evil taint among the defenders of Darrowshire, who betrayed their allies and slaughtered them. They then turned on the town of Darrowshire and killed all who hid in their homes.

The remaining scourge army, along with the corrupted spirit of Captain Redpath, then left the ravaged village of Darrowshire and tore into Lordaeron, adding to the pain and death of the Second War.

The Fate of Horgus the Ravager

Horgus the Ravager fell at the Battle of Darrowshire. But the evil within him was not fully spent. The victorious Scourge forces removed his skill from the battlefield of Darrowshire, carrying it with them to sow dread among the living they faced.

Days later, the company of Scourge who possessed the head were defeated by Silver Hand Paladins. Horgus' head was cast into Blackwood lake.

The Fate of Marduk the Black

Marduk survived the Second War, causing great death and suffering with his foul, rune-laden sword. Although Marduk still lives, his sword was lost in a battle near Corin's Crossing. A dwarf captain shattered the sword on his enchanted shield, forcing Marduk to flee the field and winning the day for the Alliance.

Marduk's sword sank into the earth and corrupted it, eating a gorge into the land, now known as the Infectis Scar.

The Fate of Davil Lightforge

Davil Lightforge died at the Battle of Darrowshire, but his bravery inspired the Alliance throughout the war.

His book, his paladin's libram, was recovered by Scarlet Crusade troops. It now resides in the town hall of the Scarlet Crusade controlled Hearthglen, often read by crusaders wager to draw from Davil's strength.

The Fate of Joseph Redpath

Joseph Redpath was killed during the Battle of Darrowshire. His spirit was corrupted and took new shape, and this creature spread great evil in Lordaeron.

At Gahrron's Withering, east of Andorhal, the corrupted Redpath was finally defeated by Alliance forces. His shield still rests near the barn of the plagued farmstead, and Scourge minions are still drawn to the memory of his evil.

The Fate of Carlin Redpath

Brother to Captain Joseph Redpath, Carlin fell during the battle of Darrowshire. But although terribly wounded, he was not slain.

Days after the battle, agents of the Argent Dawn found Carlin wandering, weak from thrist and fever, near Corin's Crossing. They tended to his wounds and brought him to the Light's Hope Chapel.

Grateful for their charity, Carlin joined the ranks of the Argent Dawn and now fights a battle of revenge against the Scourge.

Watch out the Debilitating Touch the ghouls apply can ruin your day and can stack 5x, each application reduces strength and stamina by 20. You also get a 25% move speed 33% attack speed debuff from the Musty Tome Trap

Oh yeah the touch lasts 2min and the trap 1 min

Have a nice time watching it

As of 3.x the visual difference between the real and fake books is much less obvious. The fake books still have slightly grayer pages but it's not as dark as in older versions of WoW and I found it very hard to see much difference now.

The most obvious physical difference is the precense of a small X on the spines of the real books.

Also, the sparkles denoting a quest objective around the fake books encompass all of the broken furniture around the book, while the real book's sparkles only cover the actual book. The X on the spine of the real book confirmed.

the fake books look like they have only two bevel-shaped pages split in the middle.
the Real books have the page curve like a real book should be

This is bogus what's everybody talking abut opening up books?

upper two are the "right" book
lower two are the fake books.

the difference is obvious I think. :)

The real book sparkles in a different way and was easy to spot because there was no furniture near by. Even if you have to go through all the duds, the enemies aren't difficult and you'll get decent exp. Level 60 Shaman.

This quest is very easy with the new in-game quest helper, the little box at the bottom right of the screen. For any of the fake books it will just say musty tome. For the correct one, however, it will also say that it is part of this quest. Just mouse over all of the books till you find the right one. If you have to, pick up a few to force it them to respawn if the book is not present.

Comentado por kronas

since the patch where mobs or items you need for a quest have the tooltip now all tombs that spawn mobs will say

Musty Tomb

the one that you will need will say

Musty Tomb
Annals of Darrowshire
-Annals of Darrowshire: 0/1

just look for the one that has that tooltip

annals.... lol

Comentado por alphamale

There is the possibility that the room where you loot the books does not contain the book at all. You will need to loot the Musty Tomes in order to clear the room and hope that the next set of spawned books contains the The Annals of Darrowshire. I had to clear the room of books three times before it spawned for me. Good luck!

Comentado por 443307

gotta agree that the correct tome identifies itself when you mouse over it. thanks for that bit of info. i fought over 10 battles before i checked here.
