    Librarian, Archivist and Collector do not count existing books

    The achievements requiring the production of 100 Manuscripts, 50 Tomes and 20 Codexes do not factor in those which were already produced.

    Since the production cost of these items increases as more are being produced, I know that it is possible for these items to factor in past production.

    The way these achievements are currently set up is highly unfair for those who are already at "limit", i.e. requiring 5 Tomes per Codex and 5 Manuscripts per Tome.

    Expected behaviour: Past production is factored in with this achievement.

    This is just lazy design. You obviously track the number of books that have been produced. Then there's no excuse not to use that in the achievements. Same with time played. That is just lazy design.

    The problem with retroactive factoring is that not all books were produced. Some of them we got as a reward, for instance in Easter event. Some of them are lost if the player cleared the science tree for 50% return. BUT, the server still has the information on how many of each book is produced. It must have this info to properly raise the production cost. Retroactive script should use this info. It's achievable.

    According to what my achievement list says, I need to produce 50 more Tomes and 20 more Codex.

    Given the current rate, I'd take roughly 300 days to complete this achievement.
    Would have been hell of a lot quicker if I hadn't used bookmaker glue on a lv5 maker in the past ...

    You're lucky, I need 10 Manuscripts for 1 Codex and 20 Codex for the quest.
    No, it doesn't count the 70+ Codexes I have already invested, but I guess "It's fair" in comparison to those who need 1 Manuscript per Codex ... because what's the difference between spending 2 weeks and spending 4 months for one and the same achievement?

    I bet the Bluebyte developers feel the same way when looking at their coworkers' salaries: "It's totally fair that I get in 4 months what he gets in 2 weeks, nothing to see here ..."

    Update: The behaviour is intentional.

    Only books created after the maintenance on the 22nd of May will be counted towards this type of achievements.
