Thank you so much! Someone ninja'd the books from the Order Hall, but after I did the Broken Isles books they were back. Thankfully, it's been long enough since Legion launched that I didn't have to compete for Hearthglen Church books. This is one of the best artifact appearances in the game, and I'm happy to have it thanks to your guide!
Its an awesome guide, realllyy thanks for the help, it made it way easier. SIDENOTE HERE: you have to take all the books in 1 week, otherwise it will bug out. In this case, you have to talk to the guy, and start it all over again. I highly recommend to take the world drop first and pick up the others after you already have that. This way you know exactly when you will do the quest and you wont have to do it 2 times if u accidently reset it. I really hope i could help you out and you wont sit on a bookshelf pointlessly for 5 hours just like i did now.
Note for anybody super behind on the times and is doing this now, like me: they've updated it so that after the week has passed, you need to talk to the dwarf again, but it doesn't reset the annals that you've already collected.
I'd half completed this before I got bored, when I decided to pick it up again, I couldn't remember how far I'd got so figured I'd start from the beginning and see where the first lootable book was, to my surprise the first few books I remember getting had respawned and I was able to loot them again. So when I had 12 (skipping the last 4 books in this guide) I figured I'd try my luck and hand it in #denied wouldn't complete til I'd done all. Thanks for the guide, it made it a breeze :)
Not sure if this comment will reach you but just wanted to say thanks for this guide. i'm late to legion and just now went after my priests hidden skin. It was a really nice guide. Thank you.
Had to login to give a like to the video, decided to "try" get this today (since I knew that one of the books was camping I decided to wait) and end up getting all pieces in 1 hour at most, thank you!
Just a note - it's does appear you need to speak to the dwarf on the bench first. The other books did not appear for me until I had gone through his dialog. Thanks for the video.
worked very well for me :) thank you Edit: If you guys want to you can do this as shadow. I switched up to loot (disc) to make sure I get everything. even the last book was there on my server :) took me about 1:20h
Kinu Holy one is really nice but my Priest is an alt and is not exalted yet :( Hyrja only drops the thing when you get exalted sadly. I am just collecting every hidden artifact since Blizz said if you collect them during Legion they will be transmog sets which you cant get later on haha!
This was insanely helpful, thank you. I had no problem with any, except kara, i didnt realise you had to kill all bosses to start the opera as im a high rated pvper, i dont really pve. but luckily im on a low pop server so i got the 12th book straight away! Hurrah! thanks alot.
Can anyone help? I was able to find the book from the Archivist Inkforge, but when I went to the other 2 locations in the class hall noted in this video (the one near Huvess the Duskwhisperer and Meridelle Lightspark), the book was nowhere to be found. I was able to locate the one Dalaran in the Violet Citadel though.
Thanx for the information just looted Holy Priest Hidden from Hyrja so I decided to hunt discipline Hidden since Shadow which is my MS wasn't dropping since EN released, meanwhile i joined LFR and got Shadow Hidden too, what a day xD
Thank you for the note about being at Knowledge level 4. All the information I could find up to this point just said, "Go collect the books, easy peasy, durpadee durp." I was so lost, wondering why I couldn't collect any books. I still have a couple days to go for my level 4 knowledge. lol
Just a heads up. If you are on the priest class quest that brings you to new hearthglen and phases you into an area where all the mobs at 110. You will NOT be able to get the last book, it does not appear in the 110 phase. You must not be on that quest and be in the phase that the mobs are lvl 70/71 to see the last book. Don't ask me how I figured this out... >.>
OMG I stood and stared at a blank shelf for almost an hour already when I saw this comment and it saved me! That was what my "problem" was...thank you !!
currently preparing my priest for bfa (planning on rerolling priest). Im stuck on the 12th book... simply doesnt spawn. ive been camping it for hours all by myself (no other priests) and it doesnt show up... im mad (
Thank you for this, I'm sure #12 is the most difficult one to get because cross realm(for me anyways) didn't work. I had to camp it with about 7 other priests.
Lovely guide, found the first 11 with ease.. now waiting for the last one to spawn, the one hour timer seems off tho. been standing here for nearly 2 hours now :) And have realmhopped to like 50 groups in that time, no luck so far :p
i did this at one shot and i finished the 2 solo low dungeons and did a full Kara run as a bonus for farming some mogs and it took me like 3 hours or less to get all the books and thank you for your awesome guide.
The problem with this quest is, some if not most of the books don't show up at all. Waited for 4 hours at one spot and the book never spawned, so this is pretty bullshit if you ask me
this is cool , but i think ill get the mage tower artifact instead. that thing is amazing! i think ill get this hidden appearance via my shadow hidden artifact pvp kills.
How typical, Archivist Inkforge is 'Unknown' for me. He just sits there on his bench, not even making sound when I click on him. Can't even start a conversation with him so I hit a brick wall pretty much instantly. Maybe better luck next time.
hands down.. Best guide ever and your voice is so relaxing too :) i bet the 18 dislikes are from people who got stuck in the dungeon without a healer after we loot the book and go by bye XD
ANYONE CAN HELP ME? t.t i have the 12 books, but when i go whit the dwarf. he given't me any option to talk... Ia a normal bug or i need another requeriment for obtain the appariense
For some reason, the second tome mentioned is not in the place you said it was. I know for sure that I havent collected it. Anybody gone through this that can offer some help?
Do the books respawn or something? I have most of them, currently in Kara but for some reason the 2 inside the order hall aren't there to pick up? Got the first one from the dwarf and am able to get others around the world /shrug curious if maybe other priests picked them up just before me and they have to respawn is my only guess
i did blk rook hold 2 times 1 time in shadow spec no book 2nd time in disc spec had another priest in grp in shadow spec book was there for her but it wasn't there for me any idea's ???
Here what happened to me. Yesterday when i get AK4 i was start to quest talked to Archivist Inkforge and than i collected 12 tome today. Then when try to talk to Archivist Inkforge nothing happen. no any dialog. same as you guys. Then again saw this forum and start to search for 13 book again. I found 2 extra book inside the Temple but they are not stack and everytime i found a book i try to talk the NPC but nothing happen again. so i think its bugged and now i will try to collect all 12 book again maybe it will work. Ok here is the problem solved. The reason of why some of us need to collect more than 12 Tome ,cuz some of them bugged. I did look again all the book and some of them not here . so i keep looking again other book and finnaly i loot it again some of the book. Finally i had 15 book. so some time some of the books are bugged , even you loot them at the end of the collect 12 book if you get nothing from NPC Archivist Inkforge . Go loot all the book with same row you did before. I finnaly looted 15 book and go visited again NPC Archivist Inkforge than finally he talk to me and give me the Skin. Good Luck guys.
Your guides are awesome! The only constructive criticism that I have is that bailing on a timed run instance (VH ) is kind of a jerk move to do as a healer, you know? Other than that, thank you for all the information, It is appreciated!
You aren't doing violet hold xD But okay - I bailed on Blackrook Hold, but to be fair getting another healer/tank nowadays takes 1min since it places you in the first spot in Q :)
Finally got my Priest to 110, she is number 12... I am trying to find these darn books but some are not there! Is there a dozen times or something? I have 2 of the 12, might skip ahead and see if any of the others are there.
Hi, I took all the books, I'm 12 in the backpack, but when I talk to the inktforge npc nothing happens. I am AK4. Please Kinu, help me. I opened a ticket and the GM can do nothing to help me. Just reported that more people are having this problem.
Are the dropped books not 100%. so far I can't get any npc's to drop the book. I've got 6 others but I've been killing Chief bitterbrine for 2 hours with no luck
Your guide is on point! Super easy to follow and I love how detailed yet concise you are. *chef's kiss*
Thank you so much! Someone ninja'd the books from the Order Hall, but after I did the Broken Isles books they were back.

Not sure if this comment will reach you but just wanted to say thanks for this guide. i'm late to legion and just now went after my priests hidden skin. It was a really nice guide.
Thank you.
It's 4:30 AM, I'm drunk, and I got my legendary cape doing this quest.
+Andrew Saint Don (Liant Gaming) congratulations 🤣
ty got my priest to 110 yesterday then got this (used the catch up to get lvl 20 artifact knowledge) this guide was perfect
This is the best hidden artifact guide for disc. Easy to follow and to the point. thanks.
I'm glad this video came across the intended way, thank you for the kind comment :)
Had to login to give a like to the video, decided to "try" get this today (since I knew that one of the books was camping I decided to wait) and end up getting all pieces in 1 hour at most, thank you!
Best Video on how to get this hidden appearance. Took me an hour and had no problems. Awesome guide girl!
I'm super glad that you found it useful!
I don't often like videos but who would dislike this one? It has everything you want. Thumbs up!
Just a note - it's does appear you need to speak to the dwarf on the bench first. The other books did not appear for me until I had gone through his dialog. Thanks for the video.
Note to add for horde side, go to Undercity to go to SM first then to Scholo, quick way for us
worked very well for me :)
thank you
Edit: If you guys want to you can do this as shadow. I switched up to loot (disc) to make sure I get everything. even the last book was there on my server :) took me about 1:20h
Your accent is cute as hell! Thanks for this vid helped me out a lot! The Disc hidden skin is probably one of the best ones!
Ahww thanks :)
I personally like the Holy one more ~
Kinu Holy one is really nice but my Priest is an alt and is not exalted yet :( Hyrja only drops the thing when you get exalted sadly. I am just collecting every hidden artifact since Blizz said if you collect them during Legion they will be transmog sets which you cant get later on haha!
Pretty sad. Just picked up the first book from Inkforge, ran over to the second location and there's no book...or one in the third location. :(
Helpful as always. Thank you for another guide on a hidden artifact appearance.
So happy this video exist or I would still have been running around in Karazhan looking for the Book
This was insanely helpful, thank you. I had no problem with any, except kara, i didnt realise you had to kill all bosses to start the opera as im a high rated pvper, i dont really pve. but luckily im on a low pop server so i got the 12th book straight away! Hurrah! thanks alot.

I was able to locate the one Dalaran in the Violet Citadel though.
Thank you SO MUCH! That's my favorite artefact appearence ^^
Thanks a bunch. That was easier than I had thought it would be
Thanx for the information just looted Holy Priest Hidden from Hyrja so I decided to hunt discipline Hidden since Shadow which is my MS wasn't dropping since EN released, meanwhile i joined LFR and got Shadow Hidden too, what a day xD
Got all 12 in about 2 hours thanks to your video!! :)
Thank you for the note about being at Knowledge level 4. All the information I could find up to this point just said, "Go collect the books, easy peasy, durpadee durp."
I was so lost, wondering why I couldn't collect any books. I still have a couple days to go for my level 4 knowledge. lol
that is, because nobody knew you'd need it. In beta it was available straight away (sort of).
Make sure you enter old kara next to the summon stone and not the new one uptop
Just a heads up. If you are on the priest class quest that brings you to new hearthglen and phases you into an area where all the mobs at 110. You will NOT be able to get the last book, it does not appear in the 110 phase. You must not be on that quest and be in the phase that the mobs are lvl 70/71 to see the last book.
Don't ask me how I figured this out... >.>
I think you are brought into this phase when you do the quest for one of your artifact weapons, think it was shadow :)
If you are on the companion quest to rescue the Mariella the Heretic from the Onslaught it sets the instance.
OMG I stood and stared at a blank shelf for almost an hour already when I saw this comment and it saved me! That was what my "problem" was...thank you !!
Thanks for sharing this.
Took me short of an hour to finish this.
currently preparing my priest for bfa (planning on rerolling priest). Im stuck on the 12th book... simply doesnt spawn. ive been camping it for hours all by myself (no other priests) and it doesnt show up... im mad (
Thank you so much for this awesome video!! Saved me hours! Take care and stay awesome! :)
the 2nd book is not on the shelf for me and i only have one book in my inventory from the dwarf. any idea?
Thank you very much! Great guide, Kinu!
Very well put together! Thanks for this.
For some reason, I started with the Violet Hold book and the others and they didn't appear, only after talking to Inkforge did they all appear.
GJ with the video, not alot of content around for the hidden skins. You got a new fan from Ireland,
Thanks, those world respawn ones are a pain though. Haven't had any of the ones in Dalara or the Order Hall spawn while I was playing :|
I got it last night! Great guide! Thanks!
Thank you for this, I'm sure #12 is the most difficult one to get because cross realm(for me anyways) didn't work. I had to camp it with about 7 other priests.
crossrealm these days only works when in the same zone as the leader/group.
Great guide! thanks a lot, got it!
The only thing I needed was a guide through Kara, couldn't find my way! haha
Lovely guide, found the first 11 with ease.. now waiting for the last one to spawn, the one hour timer seems off tho. been standing here for nearly 2 hours now :) And have realmhopped to like 50 groups in that time, no luck so far :p
Very easy to follow thank you! I missed book 9 initially, I clicked the other book on the table instead.
Took me a while to find them all :P
I sent a ticket and they said they know about the bug and the QA team is working on it but they don't know when the fix will roll out.
i did this at one shot and i finished the 2 solo low dungeons and did a full Kara run as a bonus for farming some mogs and it took me like 3 hours or less to get all the books and thank you for your awesome guide.
Bless you. I had 11/12 and couldn't find the Curator one to save my life.
The problem with this quest is, some if not most of the books don't show up at all. Waited for 4 hours at one spot and the book never spawned, so this is pretty bullshit if you ask me
Thanks a lot, luckily I had no trouble finding the book at Northrend.
Thanks so much for this video, tones of help! Have a great day!
What i want to know is how do people figure out the location of these books? this is absolutely insane
well... look up 'lucid nightmare' then. Your mind gonna blow up.
love you for this, and the last book is easy if you have xrelm addon
Thank you for this. very helpful. Just trying to get the one in the church now :)
I almost felt bad as there was a Hordie camping the spot in the Church. He looked to be AFK so I grabbed it and ran. Sorry to whomever that was.
only book that was where you said was the first guy. no other books in the class hall for me :(...
Thanks for your guide ! Helped me so much
Nice accent ! Lovely to hear
Pretty sure the books in the class hall also has a respawn timer
You might be right. I only did this right after reaching my AK, and they were all there, but I can imagine they are shared with other priests.
Perfect guide, cheers mate!
Really handy guide, thanks!
Thanks for the video, it was extremely clear and helpful.
this is cool , but i think ill get the mage tower artifact instead. that thing is amazing! i think ill get this hidden appearance via my shadow hidden artifact pvp kills.
Thanks for the guide, it was very helpful! :3
How typical, Archivist Inkforge is 'Unknown' for me. He just sits there on his bench, not even making sound when I click on him. Can't even start a conversation with him so I hit a brick wall pretty much instantly. Maybe better luck next time.
This was so easy to follow. Thanks!
hands down.. Best guide ever and your voice is so relaxing too :)
i bet the 18 dislikes are from people who got stuck in the dungeon without a healer after we loot the book and go by bye XD
Thank you very much. This was great!
So i accidently deleted the 1st book i got what can i do now cause the guy doesnt give me another one
ANYONE CAN HELP ME? t.t i have the 12 books, but when i go whit the dwarf. he given't me any option to talk... Ia a normal bug or i need another requeriment for obtain the appariense
looking for help, in blackrook hold 5 times no book on the table!
This was super duper helpful. Thank you!! :)
I have the 12 book but inkforge dont give the final part. Idea?
same for me :(
Thank You! This helped Immensely! :)
Cheers! Keep up the good work!
thanks for the help, perfect guide
Very easy to follow. Great job!
ive never been in karazhan before so this is taking forever to get the 11th book cuz i cant get to it
For some reason, the second tome mentioned is not in the place you said it was. I know for sure that I havent collected it. Anybody gone through this that can offer some help?
The rarespawns dont seem to drop their books? Can i only kill them once a day for it?
Do the books respawn or something? I have most of them, currently in Kara but for some reason the 2 inside the order hall aren't there to pick up? Got the first one from the dwarf and am able to get others around the world /shrug curious if maybe other priests picked them up just before me and they have to respawn is my only guess
This quest is so much fun
This helped a ton, thanks :). I look fly as hell nowww
Thanks so much for the video. It really helpt my find the books!
Very Helpful!

Good Luck guys.
Thank you. Great guide and sorry to the AFK Hordie in the church.
I seem to have found a bug. I have all 12 books now but the dwarf doesn't feel like chatting.
same for me. customer service doesnt do anything...
i dont get the book from bitterbrine but i got any other book :(
Your guides are awesome! The only constructive criticism that I have is that bailing on a timed run instance (VH ) is kind of a jerk move to do as a healer, you know? Other than that, thank you for all the information, It is appreciated!

Would do it, but the books are broken and cannot loot more than 2
File a ticket? I didn't have any problems while filming this, soooo D:
Did file a ticket, and few hours later I could loot em, the church one too oO
Nice guide helped me a lot!!!!
Made it easy, Thanks!
have the first book from the dwarf but i cant find anymore? they are not there
ok so i have 10 books just cant find the ones in the class hall
thankyou :D want the appearance for the priest tier 19 armor
Is in the old Karazan, right?
Thank you! This video was very helpful :)
You are most welcome!
Thanks for this!
by the Holy Light!
Thank you for the video!
Book 3 wasnt there :(
Hi, I took all the books, I'm 12 in the backpack, but when I talk to the inktforge npc nothing happens. I am AK4. Please Kinu, help me. I opened a ticket and the GM can do nothing to help me. Just reported that more people are having this problem.
I solved the issue by collecting another book again and giving to the npc. Sorry my bad english.
I don't know, I filmed my whole runthrough :) didn't have any issues like that, sorry.
How did you collect another book? I have all 12 and can't click on any of the ones I've already collected...
Zuza J coleccting all books again
Are the dropped books not 100%. so far I can't get any npc's to drop the book. I've got 6 others but I've been killing Chief bitterbrine for 2 hours with no luck
You have to pick up the first book from the dwarf to trigger any other drops :)
