Where to Get Skill Books in Bellwright

The best way to acquire skill books in Bellwright is by completing quests for the various villagers throughout the world. You’ll note these villagers have a white bubble icon above their head, usually a question mark or three dots on the map, and you can speak with the individual to discern what troubles them.

Some offer resources or coins. Others, however, provide you with rare skill books. You can score a few in Haerndean by helping the local carpenter. He’ll reward you with two Farming skill books for one of his early quests. You can right-click these books in your inventory to begin passively reading them. They’ll provide you with 500 EXP per book.
