How to get the veteran stance books

NOTE: Veteran Stance books are for use by Veterans Only.

There are 3 rare books that you will eventually need to use to obtain your vet stance of choice, along with some type of mineral. There are different combinations needed for the specific stance. I will list these later. The 3 old books you need are:

Rare Book of Combat – dropped by mobs located in the Abertal/Shattered Land region.
Rare Book of Magic – dropped by mobs located in the Via Fluvial region
Rare Book of Shooting – dropped by mobs located in the Deprimida Valley region

These are rare drops so be prepared to spend some time there to get the ones you need. My first attempt took me over 5 days of constant farming to finally net ONE book. So patience is truly a virtue when getting your vet stance books.

Ok now for the combinations to get the book you need. In all cases you will need an Old Book on ??? along with 50 (insert mineral here) to get your stance book from the Master Room in town. No vis required, just those 2 things. Sounds easy, but gathering the stuff will take time. The minerals drop in the 3 book zones, and also in Topolo Durga. The minerals are:

Mega Ionium
Mega Aidanium
Mega Etretanium
