    InugamiTheHoundDo you have to have all the items at one time? Because I just need "Pure Experience Extract" and "Murgo’s Big Book of Trading" those two I'm having trouble finding. I have everything else expect for diamond(I just hav to save up money)

    Sir Noncy DorpFor anyone having a hard time getting the right books, try buying the bookstore in Bowerstone Market. You can set the prices up ridiculously high, which may or may not have an effect, but you can also go around the store checking the bookcases until you get the one you need. I couldn't get a second copy of Murgo's Big Book of Trading or Marriage and How to Survive It until I did this. Just go to another region, sleep for seven days, and then return to try again.

    Da LukinatorSome tips from getting the books and pure experience extract and purple regal dye.

    TLDR; you must have completed the Spire quest in the main story before you can attempt getting all the items for this achievement.

    I was at the point in the story of just having completed the crucible and the next quest was going to the Spire.

    You CANNOT get a pure experience extract from the bowerstone market shop before completing the Spire. I had bowerstone market and the fairfax gardens both at a 5 star economy and probably did 100 7 day skips trying to get the potion to appear. I gave up and did the Spire quest, the day i got back, the potion was in the bowerstone market shop. This basically confirms to me that this potion is gated by the story (unless you get lucky digging it up).

    I was able to get both the regal dye (from fairfax garden traders at 5 star economy) and 2x big book of trading (bowerstone market book store) BEFORE i completed the Spire, and after the crucible in the story. By 7 day skipping at the inn.

    I tried all the above solutions for finding the two puny carrots and neither worked for me but they might work for you. I found a much quicker way and that was to travel to bloodstone and head up the staircase up to the third tier and on the right hand side just a bit past the middle of the area is a vegetable salesman who has one for sale. All you got to do is buy that one sleep at the hotel for a week and go back to buy your second carrot and your done. I hope this helps anyone having trouble.
