Around Azeroth: The keep at the end of the world
This beautiful shot of Icecrown Citadel at night was taken in Dalaran by Althera of <Asylum> on Aerie Peak. Arthas certainly has better taste in housing than Illidan, doesn't he? But that spire looks pretty unstable. The Dalaran mages could probably take the whole thing down with one well-aimed Pyroblast. Unfortunately, they're too busy giving random level 74s directions to the profession trainers and hiding books in inconvenient places to give it a shot.
Do you have any unusual World of Warcraft images that are just collecting dust in your screenshots folder? We'd love to see it on Around Azeroth! Sharing your screenshot is as simple as e-mailing aroundazeroth@wow.com with a copy of your shot and a brief explanation of the scene. You could be featured here next!
Remember to include your player name, server and/or guild if you want it mentioned. Please include the word "Azeroth" in your post so it does not get swept into the spam bin. We strongly prefer full screen shots without the UI showing -- use alt-Z to remove it. Please, no more battleground scoreboards, "mounted mounts", or pictures of the Ninja Turtles in Dalaran.Filed under: Screenshots, Around Azeroth, Galleries

I am OBSESSED with the Higher Learning achievement. I don't know why. I want that pet! I check everytime I'm in Dalaran but haven't even seen a book, much less one of the 8. Any tips would be appreciated but guess it's a matter of luck, I really don't feel like running that loop all freaking day, there's too much other stuff to do!

I've got it on the third day of being 71, started camping all the spawnpoints.
The respawn timer is somewhere between 1 and 6 hours, and the spawnpoints are occupied by multiple books, so it can take a while for you to get this done.
For anyone interested, here are the locations:
Introduction: Spawns in the Teleportation Crystal room, on the floor.
Divination: Spawns in Violet Citadel, near the port to Caverns of Time.
Necromancy: Spawns on top floor of Ledgermain Lodge, in a room with an empty bookshelf.
Conjuration: Spawns in the Violet Citadel, on the bottom floor bookshelf right of Rhonin.
Abjuration: Spawns in the Dalaran Visitor Center, next to the chair and bookshelves.
Transmutation: Spawns on the bottom floor of Ledgermain Lodge, in the empty bookshelf.
Enchantment: Spawns on the second story balcony of the store Threads of Fate.
Illusion: Spawns on a box next to the normal dungeon daily quest giver by Violet Hold.
This is where I found all of them, I hope this helps ;)
Happy Hunting

I know all the spots, and i have my little circular path to check them all, so I guess it's just luck. Wish people would be more helpful to tell when there's a book though. It's funny, once you start doing it, you realize there's this whole subculture of people doing the same thing because you see them at the spawn points, hehe...guess I've just had bad luck, I don't feel like doing it all day...

@Galeck
You're very off on the timers.
Galeck Nov 27th 2008 8:23AM
These are the timers at which I found them, this could ofcourse be influenced by the number of people in Dalaran. Just as it is with the respawn timer on mobs. I did this achievement when the only people you saw were a couple of mages ;)

Took about a week of hard searching to find all those book, and the correct spawning of each book. Damn those Dalaran mages. Maybe Archmage Vargoth should leave his tower and actually get some bizniz done!
