Books allow players to link to entirely new Ages and come back home safely. Mystcraft currently adds three kinds of books to the game. Notebooks are used in Writing as a repository for all of a player's known Symbols. Linking Books allow the player to link to the exact spot where the book was created, and Descriptive Books lead to entirely new ages.
Types of Books[]
Notebook[]
The notebook is used to copy symbols from existing Descriptive Books and place them in new Descriptive Books. To craft them, the player places nine sheets of paper in a crafting table in the shape of a square. Once created, they fit in the left side of a writing desk, opening the notebook and revealing its symbols.
Players may copy symbols to the notebook by placing a descriptive book with new symbols in the right side of a writing desk. All unknown symbols will be copied to the notebook instantly. Players may then place a blank Descriptive Book on the right side of a writing desk in order to create their own age. To copy symbols from a notebook to the Descriptive Book, a player simply clicks on the desired symbols and they will appear in the book.
Linking Book[]
A Linking Book creates a link to the spot in which it was created, providing players a way back home should they decide to link to a new age. Linking books are crafted simply by putting a lone book in a crafting grid. There is currently no way for a player to link to a location within the same age , and so Linking Books are only useful on ages where they were not written.
Linking Books are often overlooked by eager players, but more experienced players know better. Without a Linking Book, a player can be trapped forever on an age. Common practice is to place a Linking Book on a stand as soon as the player links to a new age.
Descriptive Book[]
Descriptive Books are used by players to reach brand new ages, and by experienced writers to create entirely new ages. Crafting a Descriptive Book requires a book and a feather, in no particular shape. Once crafted, players may link immediately, in which case a new age will be chosen out of the many possibilities. Players who wish to customize their age may instead place the Descriptive Book in a writing desk and copy symbols from a notebook, so creating a customized age.
When using a Descriptive Book, players must be aware of the very high possibility of Decay in unstable ages. Any form of shifting earth beyond sand or gravel is cause for alarm.
