Silent Archive - can't use Staff to preseve the ward.

[BoogieMan]

Burning Library, Silent Archive.

My character has over 130 Lore, I have the Staff of Hours mentioned on the parchments on the dead Sage, but I have no option to swap it out for the archive to continue the protective ward.

I can only take it or throw it in the lava, both of which results in the complete destruction of the area.

EDIT: If reading the parchments are a requirement for the option, perhaps the issue is reading them by right clicking them from the corpse, and not while it's in the stash? Note that re-reading them after looting them doesn't change anything, if indeed it is even related.


Other people have mentioned reloading to a time prior to visiting this area and having the same problem reoccur.

Did you equipped the staff? You have to have it in your inventory unequipped to have the choice (in my playthrough at least).

I tried with it equipped and in my inventory. No change...

Updated with new info.

Yeah, same here.
My character have 124 LORE, I have read both letters, I have a staff in my inventory...and nothing. Only take a script, or throw it into lava, no choice for xchange.

Yup, had this issue. I appear in each of those threads and all, and still not any closer to a solution

Hello all,

When on the Disfavored path, you are tasked with destroying the library, so the option to preserve it should not be available.

If this option is not available to you when on a different path (and you've met the other conditions of: Sufficient Lore skill, Read the Sage Notes, & have an artifact to swap) then that is not intended. If you are in this state and could upload a save with this issue, I would be happy to send it to the team.

Thank you all,
David
