I think I found a bug: Tailoring Vol. 4 (book)

[batmap]

Sandbox mode in Riverside. I have two characters, both are now Tailoring level 6 (6 is maxed; progression towards tailoring level 7). I used the book "Tailoring Vol. 4" (340 pages) and read all 340 pages on my alt character. Then, on my alt, I dropped the book on the ground, and switched to my main character. Picked up Tailoring Vol. 4 and read all 340 pages. Upon completion of page 340 on my main character (Bertram Buford), the tooltip now says for Number of Pages: 194 of 340. Also, Tailoring level 7 has multiplier 12.

 

If I had to guess, the game knows I completed the book. But for some reason, the book does not know it.

Interesting, what happens when your char tries to read the book again? Are you using any mods? Also, how exactly do you use/have your alt char (split screen, private server?)

I tried what you suggested and the book continued from 194 of 340. No bonus beyond 12x was added, so there is no benefit to reading the book again. I am not using any mods.

 

I posted how to get multiple characters on a map here. They are not playing the game at the same time. I do not know what private server means; I play the game solo.

And one more thing, the time/date clock continues for whatever active player you select. Then, when you switch characters, that time/date you log out is the time/date the other character picks up at.

Here is a screenshot of reading the book the 2nd time. The multiplier bonus 12x stayed the same, so the book seems to be the source of the issue, if I had to guess.

The book updated 340 of 340 the second time around.

OK, it seems this is related/caused by some code that allows for better split-screen experience. Some version of this has been on our radar for a while - it will get fixed in the future. Thank you for the report, I'll update our internal bug-tracker

My pleasure. Glad to be of help.
