This quest, Trust Fall, has you jumping out of the tower, you start to fall, but are instantly ported to the ground. This is the second time I did this quest and the second time I was kicked off line just as I landed, it is definitely bugged at this time. When I came back online, I was in the Sepulcher of Knowledge with Ta'eran and Volumes of Victory: Vol 1 and ready to start the next quest, A Complete Set as soon as I picked up the Volumes of Victory: Vol 1.

May be bugged. Just when I jumped the tower, I was teleported away. Had to abandon it and run back to the tower and this time it worked like a charm.

Comment by MaximusPM

The quest text says the Archivist's final words were "Victory only belongs to those brave enough to fall." except, he says fail, not fall.

Comment by fiercefiona

Works now. Be sure to jump into the rotating green area.

Comment by avgjoegeek

Just ran this today. You have to literally just wander up to the top of the tower and jump off. You will get immediately teleported back inside and then you an loot the book to complete the quest. (And the book is floating there behind you once you teleport back inside.)

Comment by auvii

If you use the portal, after collecting the book as required, it will send you back to the bottom without access to the tower. I was forced to abandon the quest. Ta'eran (Quest Giver) then reappears and allows you to restart the quest and access the tower. Don't use the portal until instructed to do so!

I did all the search steps, but I don't know where I should end.
The indicator points to something inside the floor, where is the end of the search?

The Archival Protection storyline is a breath of fresh air in Maldraxxus.
In the first 4 quests, adventurers lay the groundwork to enter the Sepulcher of Knowledge. This is a repository of books on military strategy. The last 4 quests are fun and a throwback to Legion quests in the Nar'thalas Academy in Azsuna. Once inside, chase the books. Ta'eran is your quest giver.

7.	Trust Fall	Just jump. Auto slow-fall will be cast on you.
8.	A Complete Set	More books required. But The Archivist is gone.

Archival Protection Storyline
Quest	Comments
1.	Read Between the Lines	Listen to quest giver Ta'eran.
2.	Repeat After Me	Honor physical rune stones. Do an emote in chat (like /kneel) suggested by the message on each stone. This invokes a hostile shade. There is a stone for each of the Maldraxxus Houses. Stone locations are shown on the mini-map as white circles. The order does NOT matter, despite quest instructions.
3.	Kill Them, Of Course	Start by clicking on the ornate power crystals: East Power Crystal and West Power Crystal. Then activate the regular green crystals. The East and West Power Crystal will activate 2 of these. The idea is to direct 2 power lines back to the 2 power obelisks. If power isn’t running where you want it to go, click on the East and West power crystals to redirect current. Repeat clicking may change the direction of the current. See if clicking on regular green crystals improves the directional flow. This is just trial and error.
5.	Secrets Among the Shelves	Collect multiple editions of 8 books. There are books on 3 levels. You can start on the second level. There are minor hazards on the stairs, balls and laser beams. They do little damage and are easy to avoid. Beware The Archivist on the top floor. It's protected by 2 flying book mobs Tome of War. Don't fight the Tomes, click on any books, and go downstairs. You won't get credit for killing The Archivist until you collect all books and Ta'eran gives you the quest Archival Protection.
6.	Archival Protection	Kill The Archivist. You'll also need to kill the adds, the 2 Tome of War. Sometimes there are other players in the tower that can help.
7.	Trust Fall	Just jump. Auto slow-fall will be cast on you.
8.	A Complete Set	More books required. But The Archivist is gone.

If you're like me, and got this quest while roaming around (or deleted it previously) and you're not sure where the tower you're supposed to jump out of is, it's at 42.36, 24.28.

Comment by Azaram

If you get there and he says 'pick it up' and the book on the pedestal isn't interactable...look behind you. For some reason the book spawns floating in the air behind you near the portal, instead of in front of you, on the lectern.

Trust Fall

Jump from the tower.

	Jump from the tower (1)
	Volume of Victory: Vol 1 (1)

Description

Let us ponder the meaning of the Archivist's last words: "Victory only belongs to those brave enough to fall." Hmm. It could be reference to the Volume of Victory. That is the most well-known of all the writings said to be kept in this tower. That book is priceless, <name>. I mean that almost literally. We must do whatever is necessary to find it! But, uh... What do you suppose "brave enough to fall" refers to?
