    What books don't you carry

    I'm currently playing a paladin and have found that book 2 and Purifications and Healing dungeon book are pretty much useless. Book 2 has satisfy hunger but I can usually either get food/ slimes/ waybread ? satisfy hunger and book 2 frequently enough not to have to have it constantly in my invertory. Purifications and Healing really only has restore this is very useful, so I keep a copy of that at home, but I don't actually carry it with me.

    As a caster, semi-caster, what books do you not bother about carrying with you?

    On a side note. The spell of elemental branding for paladins seems a bit useless. You don't get it until level 45 i think... and by then if you don't have an art weapon, there's something wrong.

    Holy Infusions is out-and-out worthless as a book. Book 2 has Resist Fire and Cold though, which can be quite useful. P&H, I forget if paladins get the 1000-point heal in it, but if they do it could be worth carrying. Otherwise it's not that great. More useful in the nightlies where stat restoration is harder to achieve though.

      Kelek's is completely useless for Rogues.

        I'm not sure if that's good or bad. On the one hand, I can see Rogues not being able to manage the most powerful of magics. On the other hand, maybe there should be at least one spell in there for them.

          Not carrying Kelek's at least grants a free inventory slot for rogues. Not bad either.

            As a Priest, once you have Godly Insights and know all the spells in it, Beginners Handbook becomes completely unnecessary.
            If beauty is in the eye of the beholder, then why are beholders so freaking ugly?
