After using this i got this buff:

Learning by Example

You've recently read some amusing tales of someone trying, and ultimately failing, to reassemble the Green Hills of Stranglethorn. Quest experience increased by 10%.

1 hour duration.

Another buff:

The Great Hunt

You just read the journal of Nesingwary himself! Damage against beasts increased by 15%

1 hour duration.

Commento di splunge

Terrain Expert

Through a tiresome (yet useful) read, you've become uncannily familiar with the surrounding terrain. Movement speed increased by %15. This does not stack with other movement speed increasing effects.

1 hour duration.

Living Forever

You recently read a 197 page story about a duel between two healers. You have a chance to heal yourself when dealing damage to an enemy.

1 hour duration.

EDIT: As of the latest build, buffs from these items no longer stack.

Deadly Drive

You just read the journal of a very skilled and meticulous killer. Although it consisted of blood-spattered paged, you got the idea. Damage against humanoids increased by 15%.

1 hour duration.

Commento di splunge

Dragonsbane

You've been emboldened by heroic tales of slaying dragons. Damage against Dragonkin increased by %15.

Commento di Glowyrm

For a "grass is greener" point of view on this item, I would consider ALL of these buffs to increase your experience gained to greatly varying degrees (the 10% gain is the biggest of course).

Depending on the heal, the buff that heals you while damaging enemies could lead to slightly less downtime or allow you to take on more mobs at once, both things indirectly increase your experience intake.

Next, depending on what type of mobs you are fighting (humanoids, beasts, dragonkin), doing 15% more damage will allow you to kill faster, indirectly increasing your experience gain.

Then, if you don't already have a movement speed increase (while leveling you may not run to get your boots enchanted or may upgrade items often), the 15% run speed will increase ground covered for the times where you are running mob to mob. Yes, we'll usually have mounts so the gain from this is minuscule, but I'm sure it's there somewhere!

Ok Ok, so disregarding the movement speed increase buff, I would say that the damage increase and heal-on-damage (depending on how much it is, I don't know) would increase your leveling speed, not as much as a 10% experience gain, but it's there. This would mean that 3 of the 6 buffs should help you level faster most of the time!

is it an one time use then like an flask/food or is it repeatable used?

Commento di ellmo

Unfortunately there's also a Kneecapper buff, which gives 15% damage to GIANTS - wow, that sucks. This has to be the least numerous group of NPCs in game

Commento di Hurracan

Another possible result:

28 Chapters Later

You recently read an adventurer's partially-completed guide on surviving a zombie onslaught. Damage against Undead increased by 15%.

Commento di Daverton

The 10% xp buff is really nice. The rest are pretty meh. A 15% damage bonus against ALL mobs would be useful, but instead they're all too specific. I can't think of a zone in the game where the mobs are all undead or all humanoid, etc, etc.

I guess if they fall in your lap or can be made really cheaply, they might be worth using. I can't imagine buying them the way they work now though.

Commento di GaidinBDJ

These are alot like the Mysterious Fortune Cards, except they don't sell as well or as high. Their real benefit is that they don't even go yellow until 475 (you can learn it at 460). Cheap and easy 15 Inscription points, minimum.

I may have missed it being posted above but Learning by Example DOES stack with heirlooms (took all mine off and the reduced amount worked out as an additional 10% on top of the guild 10%).

Commento di 224056

In the 4.1 PTR notes, it was noted that the cooldown will be lowered to 1 hour, so you could easily chain the buffs together (without having to do log-out shenanigans).

Commento di zuwr

I can confirm that its cooldown is now 1 hour, on live. Awesome for leveling! :)

Commento di Silox

i noticed that the buff stays even if you get killed, can t recall if it used to do that before, also not shure if the buff Deadly Drive (+15% dmg on humanoids) applies to players, would be imba for those who lvl via pvp or those who play on pvp servers

Commento di 725514

I have found quite the niche for these items, on my server at least. One thing I've noticed is that most players have no clue these things exist, nor what they do. With cleverly-worded ads in Trade Chat, you can turn a hefty profit when the glyph market crashes (as it tends to do from time to time).

On average, these are selling for 75-100g each. Be sure to advertise the XP buff, which stacks with BoA gear and guild perks. Just a tip from a friendly scribe :)

If you want to feel good about yourself, try using this item at level 85.

"You are too wise and powerful to gain any benefit from that item."

I'm suddenly feeling much better about myself!

Not to be confused with Fallen Adventurer's Journal, which is needed for the Darkmoon Defender achievement.

EDIT: As of 5.0.4, this can no longer be crafted, but the ones you may have in your inventory have not been removed.

I love this thing. There's no reason not to use one every hour because the buff you get could be insanely useful. I've gotten to the point where I decide what I do based on what buff I get and I level insanely fast and it breaks the monotony.

For Example:
Learning by Example: +10% quest experience gained (Get outta dungeon finder and do some quests.)
Living Forever: 30% chance to heal yourself for 4-6% of your maximum health, when dealing damage to an enemy (Insanely useful and Fun for a non-healing class in PvP)
The Great Hunt: +15% damage done against Beasts (Find some level appropriate beasts and farm for an hour.)
Deadly Drive: +15% damage done against Humanoids (Do some PvP... it makes a huge difference)
28 Chapters Later: +15% damage done against Undead (especially at 75 do some Northrend normal dungeon Q's because everything is undead.)

Also, this thing is like a Flask. You don't lose the buff when you die.

Classic Cataclysm.
Basic feature I was taking advantage of: the book cooldown is one hour, so for my alts I read the book and logged them out. Switching between alts, I always had a toon that had the XP buff. After an hour, I'd read the book again on alts without XP buff until they got the XP buff.

I have 4 alts still in their 70s and it's Midsummer event time. I found that I can use the book to get the XP buff and do my rounds (prep in Dal doing cooking/fishing quest along with capital city's cooking/fishing and torch tossing/catching.
Read the book on all my alts and start the book use cooldown.
On a character that has the XP buff I turn in the quests and get to my rounds of honor/extinguish the flame for the next hour. For those alts that did not get the XP buff, they were logged out the past hour so their cooldown to use the book is gone.
When logged out, the XP buff timer is preserved, while the book use cooldown does count down
No, buffs won't stack. If you have an adventurer buff and read the book, your current buff is removed and replaced. The book may give you the same buff or a different buff.
For a lvl 77 doing bonfires, with XP buff I was getting 13910/27820 XP with XP buff and dropped back down to 12840/25680.

You could also get some insane XP by doing all the dailies, plus as many normal quests as you can, and waiting to turn in the quests when you get the XP buff (think sons of hodir, brunnhildar, argent tournament, dungeon dailies, cooking fishing dal/capital city. Dailies are really good since you can do many at once, vs normal questing which is chained one quest at a time.
