Soulentra.7180 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 So many books! <3As you all might have noticed, during the Living Story 3 and also with PoF stories, we got ourselves quite some amount of books.Books take slots, we like keeping stuff that we can interact with so most people keep them in their bank or are even more attached to them like me and keep them in our inventory.Which means that it can take up on a lot of space.Let me store them at home, please!What I'm trying to suggest here would solve this "wanna keep books, but they take up space" problem.I'd like to have a library/bookshelves installed in my home instance where I could deposit and withdraw books.It would be nice if we could also directly read the books, but that's just a tiny detail.I really like books (currently reading one IRL too.. Sea of Sorrows if u ever heard of it ^_^) and I believe that this feature would be quite fitting and practical!Examples of where the library/bookshelves could be in Grove home instance:What do you guys think? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Embered.5089 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yup. I love books. I must collect books. I must do achievements that are book-related (even when I won't actually get a book from it).But they take up a lot of space. I need more space. Sure, let's have this space in our home instance. I don't really read them on the fly anyway >.> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Omega.6801 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I support this. Either a personal library for the home instance or a shared library in the guildhall would be nice. The personal one would be better, mostly because ANet would have us pay 800g or something for a GH upgrade. ;)Make it a collection thing. Have us become apprentice librarians or something along those lines, have us get a few things, talk to some NPCs and get a bookshelf for our home instance as a reward.

But maybe other people could be allowed to read your books when you invite them to your instance, but not deposit/withdraw.Make it a collection thing. Have us become apprentice librarians or something along those lines, have us get a few things, talk to some NPCs and get a bookshelf for our home instance as a reward.Some quest/collection would be a good way for sure!Also talking about apprentice librerian, could this be maybe connected to Scribe profession? Like crafting some books for certain NPC or such. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keyokku.5412 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Yes, we've been asking for key rings/currency (which we got!!!) and trophy collections, more specifically, a book library, this would be so helpful. I love keeping so many trophies and of course, that includes all the books. Anet put a lot of effort into lore and little details in each item and we should definitely have a way of keeping all the good things they included.

Dark Red Killian.3946 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I was actually just thinking about this the other day! It’s not just about freeing space in bank. Having a library in your home instance makes more sense for you to be able to find your books and read the ones you want to read. And it gives you something to do in order to complete your library collection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cronospere.8143 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 I think the devs are working on this. Look at how the astralarium works. you can see some bookshelves there. My guess is that the devs are watching how the community reacts on this.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoukiNeko.6047 Posted November 30, 2017 Share Posted November 30, 2017 Before creating bookshelves I would like if they first update the interface for reading them. Reading a book 3 lines at a time is distracting and annoying.Maybe if books are added in the hero panel like the personal story. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rai.1084 Posted December 4, 2017 Share Posted December 4, 2017 or make it something like a bookkey or a librarypass. like they combined the living season portal scrolls too right?so you could put it together into 1 itemon 2nd thought... can also put them into the huge library we had to visit and search through anyways, cant remember which episode that was, but something to tp you into that instance like a 2nd aurene portal stone? idk, I loved that map, altho it was annoying with the achivement to find everything.

DearlyMe.5320 Posted December 7, 2017 Share Posted December 7, 2017 Yes! They contain information I don't want to destroy, but they're indeed taking up bank and inventory slots. I love collecting and reading game books, I keep one of all the Skyrim books, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rivian.8435 Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 Yes, please! We really need a book storage function. I'm feeling real pressure at the moment to delete in-game books which contain lore I don't want to lose. I'm sure the devs who made the content also don't want players deleting it. I may have deleted some already. Nooo! Please implement bookshelves or a librarian npc in our home instance so we can safely store these items which also require effort on the part of the players to collect. Thank you. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veliant.1683 Posted January 12, 2019 Share Posted January 12, 2019 +1 - Need this. I actually spent hundreds and hundreds of hours collecting books on another Mmo I won't mention in order to create a home in which people could visit my vast library of exceedingly rare books. This may not be as expansive but I would very much like to have proper storage for the lore I collect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taylan.2187 Posted March 20, 2019 Share Posted March 20, 2019 Bumping this for the sole purpose of saying yes please. I don't want to destroy those books to free up space. That just seems wrong. But I'm sure as hell not buying more inventory or bank space just to keep them around either.Please solve this, Anet! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhunter.6015 Posted March 21, 2019 Share Posted March 21, 2019 I second this, I made a Librarian account to store all the books on for now, but would rather enjoy a home instance bookshelf. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovelend.8794 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Yes , please! This feature would be so great, I've got tons of books already which I don't want to just thrash out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shovelend.8794 Posted April 25, 2019 Share Posted April 25, 2019 Actually, just been to Sun's Refuge and found a bookshelf on the east side of the refuge! This holds quite a few of my books already, you guys should check it out too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maylice.4921 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 +1 I would absolutely love this, I'm keeping all my books on an alt at the moment and would be amazing to have them organized on shelves! Please Anet, consider this. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sockski.4297 Posted April 26, 2019 Share Posted April 26, 2019 I think I'd prefer to have a "Books" section added to the novelty wardrobe. You could store infinite amounts of them there, have access to them on the go, and maybe they could even turn it into an animation where if you are reading a book, your character has an open book in their hands. But regardless, I like the idea of doing SOME kind of storage for the books, because I love to keep them...but I hate having to use up space for them.

Sadly you cannot add any others to it--and it doesn't even have a nice interface to select the ones you want, either, should you want to read them.
