Changes to Eye of the North books

The latest Eye of the North updates have brought some welcome changes to the way books work. Previously completed quests - most notably the Norn Primary Quests from the Sneak Peek weekend - weren't appearing in the Hero's Handbook. Dungeons completed before acquiring the Master Dungeon Guide were also not appearing.

Now however you can pay 100 gold to the following NPCs to get the missing pages added:

• Gedral of Ascalon [Vanguard Herald] inside the Eye of the North
  
• Kodan [Dwarven Recruitment Officer] in Gunnar's Hold
  
• Tyr the Skaald [Norn Storyteller] in Gunnar's Hold
  
• Lexx [Asuran Talent Scout] in Rata Sum
  

These NPCs have also been updated. Instead of just accepting fully completed books, they will now accept partially completed Hero's Handbooks and Master Dungeon Guides. Depending on how complete your book is, they will change the amount of XP, Gold, and Reputation Points they will give you.

The partial Hero's Handbook rewards are:

Pages	Rep (Normal)	Rep (Hard)	XP (Normal)	XP (Hard)	Gold (Normal)	Gold (Hard)
8	2,000	3,000	4,000	6,000	400	600

The partial Master Dungeon Guide rewards are:

Pages	Rep (Normal)	Rep (Hard)	XP (Normal)	XP (Hard)	Gold (Normal)	Gold (Hard)
9	11,000	16,500	22,000	33,000	2,200	3,300

17	30,000	45,000	60,000	90,000	6,000	9,000
18	40,000	60,000	80,000	120,000	8,000	12,000

If you're looking to boost your Eye of the North Title Tracks, and don't want to/can't complete a book, this is a great idea. As far as I'm aware, as you can gain extra books, there's nothing to stop you completing a book, handing it in, getting the quests again from the Scrying Pool in the Hall of Monuments, and then getting another book and doing it all over.
