How to Use the Book Satchel and Books

Grimoire of Gaia adds several books, including the Book Satchel and themed tomes like the Book of Combat, Book of Hunger, Book of Memory, Book of Nature, and Book of Withering. These are not just decorative; they serve as utility or crafting components.

Getting Books

The Book Satchel and the various Books are typically obtained as drops from mod mobs or crafted using materials gathered from those mobs. Use your recipe viewer to check the exact ingredients, since they often require specific mod drops.

Using the Satchel

The Book Satchel acts as a portable storage item for your books. Right-click to open it and store your tomes inside, keeping your main inventory free. This is useful when you are collecting multiple books and do not want to carry them individually.

Using the Themed Books

Each themed book has its own effect or use. Some are used in crafting recipes, while others provide buffs or abilities when held or used. Read the tooltip on each book to understand what it does. For example, the Book of Combat may enhance your fighting ability, while the Book of Nature might relate to farming or plants. Experiment with each one in a safe area to learn its effect before relying on it in combat.
