A Visit to Castle Blackthron quest

After arriving at Castle Blackthorn, the first part of the quest requires you to find the books for Heckles using detect hidden.

The issue is that, it is so entirely random on whether or not you can find the books, it's maddening. Last night, a guildmate and myself started the quest. We've both done it previously on other characters so we know where the books are supposed to be. I found the first seven books on the first attempt. Since then I have been targeting the final spot (blacksmith area) for over an hour and haven't found it. My guildmate cannot get his last book either (guest room).

Please see if this is bugged and/or consider changing the way the first part of the quest works.

    We figured it out. There's a Z-axis issue. You have to go upstairs into the guest bedroom and get it from there.

    Since I can't go back and edit it, the blacksmith one has the z-axis issue. Because of this there are two in the guest room.

    It's nothing new, you get it from the town crier. After completing it, you get 25 blackthorn artifact points.

    Never saw it.  I will have to check for it as I love to see it

    Would you kindly share the exact location of the blacksmith book? I'm stuck at finding it

    It's interesting that this works for you and @Papazorn
    Chapters 3 and 5 would not work for me or my guildmate as shown. Instead, we got Chapter 5 on the north side of the guest room near the mini bar and Chapter 3 as shown.

    Thanks for the pics.  I aslo had trouble with the Blacksmith. I never got the message but I moved on and got all 8.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.
