I really need some pointers i guess you could say.maybe the poster thinks this is the forum for DDO?
I consider this the most likely possibility.
maybe the poster thinks this is the forum for DDO?
Ah, that would explain it. I was beginning to think we had someone here who had some trouble seperating fantasy and reality (I kid, I kid). ;)
To the OP, this forum is dedicated the Dungeons and Dragons pen-and-paper roleplaying game. If you're refering to Dungeons and Dragons Online, you'll want to check here:
Dungeons and Dragons Online Forums
maybe the poster thinks this is the forum for DDO?
It doesn't apply; DDO doesn't have a Wizard's Guild operating with 'enchanting books'.
The closest thing is The Twelve, which you have to go past before you have anything that you might utilize with them. And they deal almost exclusively with Magic item crafting, not books.
If you believe that, I have a bridge in Sigil to sell you.
So in other words, the forum consensus is:
It sure describes my reaction.
Ignore these naysayers. You need to go up to the front desk of the Guild and use the secret passcode. If they refuse, you are supposed to fire a magic missile at them. It will not kill the clerk, but instead will let them know that you mean business. Then and only then will they help you. It is a test to weed out those who do not deserve assistance.
Don't listen to Seeker95, he is just trying to get you shanked by the bugbear. While I admit that would be hilarious, it is probably not good for your wizards long term survivability. In reality you need to find the wizards outhouse and knock three times on the back wall with your magic wand. This will drop you into a pit full of venomous long-horned screaming snakes. Take them out (with the usual tactics) and slit open their organs. In one of their gull bladders, you will find a silver key. You can use it to open the back wall in the barrister's shop; this will lead you to the wizards guild.
In all seriousness, the answer to your question is going to depend highly upon the campaign you are in. The details of the game will vary based upon DM and setting so no one here can give you the correct answer. However, their are several things you might try.
1.) Gather Information Use a gather information check to try and find rumors about the guild. You find its locations or the name of some important members you can go to for more information.
2.) Rituals You are a wizard so you should have some access to rituals. I don't have my books with me, but I don't think their are not a lot of divination-type rituals (that is rituals that give you information) in heroic tier but I know their are at least a few that could help. If you have access to material from The Forgotten Realms Player Guide the Seek Rumor is a level 2 ritual that is fairly cheap and might help.
3.) Bribery Start spreading the word you are willing to pay a little gold for information on the guild. Money is a great way to get people talking.
4.) Stakeout You know where the guild is, hang around outside and wait for some guy or gal with a pointy hat, flitting robes, or other unusual feature to come by and question them (you may need to apply method 3 above).
Your DM just wants to see if you can be resourceful and find this out on your own... Oh, and be sure to post a reply here to let us all know how it goes.

You mean, streetwise? I'm pretty sure Gather Information is no more. (I'm too lazy to go open a character sheet, and I don't have my book with me, so I could be wrong...)
Morikal, you are quite right it is streetwise, I didn't have my books either and old habits die hard. . .
Heh, I'm sure we all understand. I can't tell you how many times I've asked my players for "Spo--perception" checks.

It's really hard to see those Spos. Elusive bastards.

Yeah, I think they're bugged. I'm hoping they'll get fixed in the 4.1 patch.

dude. Don't even KID about that. Seriously
:D
dude. Don't even KID about that. Seriously
Yeah, Tusz, what are you thinking? It's obvious that the designers intended for Spos to be that hard to detect. Everyone knows that the 4.1 patch will be used to fix the Wizard Guild quest that the OP is obviously stuck on. I'm in the same boat. No matter how hard my level 9 Wizard tries, I simply can't use that enchanting book.
How am I supposed to solo the Keep on the Shadowfell raid boss if I can't learn those spells?

There's always the 'Give DM money' hack... they keep trying to close that one down, but never seem to figure out all the ways to keep it from happening.

That's nothing against the power of the "Threaten DM to make him sleep on the couch tonight" hack if you've installed the DM's Girlfriend Limited Expansion Set.

There's always the "That's my house, *****!" cheatcode, OTOH.

:heehee
That does trump most, but I got the Girlfriend Limited Expansion set with the 2.1 patch. That's the one wherin all references to "girlfriend" get changed to "wife" after you input /i.do.exe in the primary interface.
They massively nerfed Hubadins. Yet strangely, I don't seem to mind. gameplay is a lot more fun.

Sorry, Rake. The Konami code no longer gives you 20 extra lives. WotC thought that it was unfair in multiplayer mode.
I know this is a little public, but I think this is the only way to get you to listen. I know everything is different right now, but things had to change after you left, things had to heal after the damage you caused. Dad's still not the same man he used to be, but he's pulling himself together. John says he's not mad at you anymore, but he just can't bear to see you right now. But things will get better if you work at it, you just have to remember to take the little steps the doctors taught you about, and stay away from things that lead you astray.
I know you're confused and hurt, but please just stop this. I know you don't really believe any of this. Amy and I are flattered that you would pretend our family is a guild of mages, it's much better than what you called us last time...but it's still not what's real, and you know that. I also am glad you are trying to reach out to me and I'm sorry that I've driven you to such extremes as looking for me on a gaming forum.
In spite of all of this, what I said before is still true. I don't want to talk to you right now, and I hope you can understand this. Please, mom, just leave us all alone. Maybe after you've adjusted, we can all make some progress; but not yet. It's going to be slow, but I know we can do this.

No, I don't think so.
Well, Start might've been in there at the end. I think it depended on the game.

Kinda have to hit start at the end, or the game never begins/comes out of pause.
Of course, you're both dead now, since WotC switched to the SNES version of the code.

This was it. Add a SELECT for two-player fun. I played too much Contra when I was younger ...

Any self-respecting 9th lvl wizard would open up with energy substitution (sonic) fireball on the receptionist.
Hi mom, I see you made it back home safely. How was your stay at the hospital? I'm sure you had a great time. I see you're not feeling too well, and I am hoping you have forgotten your medicine again. I know sometimes things come up, but they are very important.

I'm now going to go hide under my bed and cry.
