Library books
Books lie on tables, shelves and scroll piles all over Azeroth. Loot one, bring it to the librarian in Stormwind or Undercity, and each different book counts toward a necklace at 10, a ring at 20 and a bow, shield or off-hand at 25. Any class can do it, at any level: the librarian only offers the quest once you carry a book. Tick each one as you find it; your ticks stay on this device and follow your profile.
