Changes

Pages of Training are artifacts dropped by monsters and chests in the dungeon. They have no function in of themselves, but five Pages can be combined into a [[Tome of Training]]. These tomes, plus gold, are required to [[train]] the three [[artisan]]s.

==Collecting and Redeeming==

Gathering Pages of Training is quite easy, as players need simply click on them when they drop. Pages are commonly found from killing monsters or opening chests or other [[object]]s, and very seldom from bookcases. Once picked up, pages stack automatically, to a maximum stack of 100. Pages can be transformed into Tomes of Training at any time, by left clicking on the stack of Pages. Every five pages turns into one Tome of Training, and these stack as well, of course.

===Diablo III Beta Changes===

Early in the beta test, Pages of Training most commonly dropped from bookcases in the Cathedral levels, and very seldom from monsters. This changed completely in a beta patch, and thereafter bookcases almost never dropped anything other than [[Scrolls of Companion]], [[health potions]], and [[gold]], while Pages of Training became quite common drops from [[monsters]]. As of January 2012, a player could expect to find about 12 pages of training from a single, fairly-thorough pass (around 60-90 minutes of play time, with a brand new character) through the beta content.

==Page Frequency and Artisan Upgrade Progress==

With just one [[Artisan]] (the [[Blacksmith]]) available in the [[Diablo III Beta]] test, and characters forced to repeat the same content multiple times, most players quickly trained their blacksmith well past a useful level, to the point that the majority of his crafting recipes had much too high of a Clvl requirement to be used by beta test characters.
