=== Finding Unidentified Poetry Books ===Poetry books share Books can be found across [[Alharth]], usually in an unidentified form. Rudimentary knowledge of [[Art History]] is required to appraise an unidentified poetry book. After appraisal, the discovered Poetry Book will require a specific level of [[Poetry Appreciation]] to read. Poetry Books have a loot table with chance of dropping from any creature that drops scrolls drops, so [[Undead Anatomy|Undead]] and [[Arthropod Anatomy|Arthropods]] are usually targeted by prospective '''Poetry Appreciators'''. In particular, the Undead [[Face of Death]] in [[Borghild]] and the stronger [[Visage of Demise]] in found across [[Rahu]] tend to drop many scrolls and therefore have a higher chance of dropping recipes, including poetry books.{|{{STDT|sortable}}!Unidentified Book!Skill to Appraise!Potential Results|-=== |{{Item|Unidentified Poetry Book Identification ===}}There are 4 different unidentified poetry books.

=== Poetry Podium ===
'''Poetry Podiums''' are public locations where poetry can be read aloud to others.
{{Quote|source=Serbule Poetry Podium|
Here you can recite poetry. You'll need a poetry book (which is destroyed in the process). When you recite a poem aloud, you only earn 1/3 of the [[Poetry Appreciation]] XP that you'd get by reading it privately, but all other nearby players will ALSO earn that much [[Poetry Appreciation]] XP. You will also earn [[Oratory]] XP based on the number of people listening.
Nearby players will see your poem and can vote on whether they like it or not. You'll get general feedback about how your poem was received, but that feedback has no game-play effects. (Because everybody's a critic).
