Why is Advanced Tailor Volume 29 so popular?

It's got the recipes for all four pieces of Dexterous Cuirboilli (should be cuirboUlli :^P) armor, but what's the big deal about that?  The current price on Oasis is 2p70g and there are several copies available.  Note, I'm not =complaining=.  I happened to find a copy and just sold it for 2p64g instead of scribing it ;^) But I =am= curious....

The 28-29-30 series of books for all classes are quite hard to come by. The reason is simple - there are few zones this drops in and very very few mobs in those zones which drop them. The mobs which can drop them dont drop books very often, they tend to drop crap lore quest starters more often than anything else. Grats on finding one. You may find yourself doing the same thing I did at one point - kicking yourself for selling it. Took months to find another one and that was on the broker. I couldnt find another one hunting for them.

That makes sense.  Advanced Carpenter Volume 29 was expensive as well.  I bought that when I saw someone offer it for about a quarter of the going rate.  With all my hunting of centaurs (for the Thundering Steppes special Far Seas Trading requisition) I've been lucky enough to find Jeweler and Tailor 29. Thanks for the reply.

All the tradeskill volumes are easy to get if you know where to look. First you must purchase the Splitpaw adventure pak. Then you need to mentor to the level you wish to find. Then spawn the upper cave zone and kill as many gnolls as possible. You can even leave and respawn the zones as many times as you need. I would suggest taking two other group members with you that are about 10 levels apart. One to mentor down and spawn the level of the zone. The second to rementor so it is easy to kill the mobs and still get drops.
