Non-class skill books and what you should know about them - (Sauron, EU-Emerald)

[Phosphatase 26]

Non-class skill books are expert skill books which any class can use. Although, unlike ordinary expert skill books, these skill books can not be upgraded. Most of them grant only small improvements but few of them are actually quite powerful. At the moment, there are 44 non-class skill books, 41 of which are passive and three that are active. The only requirements to use these books are a character level of 18 and an empty combat kit slot which means that these books won't consume the space meant for normal expert skill books. These books can be obtained by killing raid bosses, participating in guild events and completing dungeons during seasonal special events. Some books can also be obtained from physical chests that require special keys. Non-class skill books are more than rare but they are also worth of millions which means that if you ever happen drop one and sell it, you won't have to worry about gold for a while.

If you drop one of the passive skill books, you must decide, will you use it, sell it or trade it. It all depends on how much gold you really need. Everyone needs gold but do you feel like you are weak and can never buy any proper equipment due to the lack of gold? If so, then you should sell it as 2,5% stun or 3% critical hit chance won't really make you any stronger but good armor and weapon will. If you already have decent gear and you are not in the constant need of gold but your gear isn't +10, then you should think, will the book raise some parameter that you really need or can you even use the book properly? For example, Rampant Attack might not be the best choice for a druid and Secret Power of Vampirism might not be the most useful book for a character with 3500 hp. If the book is useful, then you can use it but if it's not, then you could either sell it for gold or trade it for more suitable book.

 

This is the end of this guide! I hope this will be useful at least for somebody.
