Folklore

I don't have the Geological Folklore for Norvrandt and I have the requisite 40 Regional Folklore Trade Tokens to purchase it, but it says I am "Unable to complete transaction. You cannot carry more than one of this untradable item." I remember I had this same problem in Heavensward but I don't remember how I got around it eventually. How can I purchase this item when I clearly don't have it already?

[DrWho2010]

if it won't let you buy it you've used it already. are you absolutely sure you don't have the entries for it in your gathering log?

[Iscah]

Are you carrying the book, unused?

And are you sure youre buying the right one? There are separate books for mining botany and fishing. You can only buy(and use) each once.

I have no access to the Norvrandt region under Folkore in my MIN gathering log, Item Search draws up nothing as to possibly holding it already. Ensured that I was trying to buy the Mining folklore, in Eulmore. I still have the trade tokens used as currency to purchase the folklore. Thank you for your suggestions everyone.

Are you sure you don't have it already? Like, when you go to the "Vrandtic Folklore" tab under miner, does it say "You have not read the relevant folkore" or does it just say "No items"? There are no folklore items yet that use the folklore book for the second mining tab, so if you're only looking there you won't see anything and it will say "No Items" even if you have the book.

If it does say you haven't read the book yet, double check your inventories even if you thnk a search is saying you don't have it. Check you chocobo saddlebag and each of your retainers. Is it possible the book was on a retainer that you have since stopped paying for?

So ive got the game open right now. I open my gathering log, and click off level based items to special ones. The categories it lists are Coerthan Folklore, Dravanian Folklore, Abalathian Folklore, Gyr Abanian Folklore, Othardian Folklore, Vrandtic Folklore, and Ishgardian Restoration. Vrandtic being the one for Norvrandt, i click on it. For mining it shows Tungsten, Prismstone, and Beryllium. Under quarrying there are no items to display.

Right. We have no legendary items for Novrandt listed under quarrying. We didn't have any for Gyr Abania or Othard either. Everything for Stormblood was listed under mining. No way of telling if they'll add legendary quarrying nodes in 5.2, 5.3 or 5.4.

Perhaps that's the problem Iterion is having? Make certain the gathering log has Mining selected and not Quarrying when checking Vrandic Folklore.

Okay, I was finally able to get it. Looks like there's a level requirement. Sorry for the wild goose chase. Might be level 66 as required with Custom Deliveries in Idyllshire.

Pretty sure the Norvrandt folklore books require Lv80, the same as mastercraft VII books. Though for the crafting books I was able to purchase them in advance and only using them actually checked my level.
