How to get Tomes in LEGO Fortnite

You can find Tomes in the following LEGO Fortnite destinations:

The quickest way to locate Tomes is by going up to the floating islands and looting chests. Look up to spot the nearest one, which will be easily noticeable by its glowing purple color. But before you go, make sure to have a glider with you to soar through the air with ease.

When approaching the floating island, go on top of a geyser that acts as a jumping point. They won’t always spawn, so you may need to move on to another if there isn’t a suitable spot. Once you’ve located one, start gliding over to an island.

Use the geysers here to launch up to the other floating areas. This is also an excellent time to spot any chests needed for the LEGO Fortnite Tome quest.

You may also be lucky enough to find the Tomes through the other methods. In particular, you’ll likely come across a few Rift Shrines that require an exchange of materials. However, I found it best to stick with the floating island options, which are way more common than those involving caves, shrines, and NaNa Village.

How to use Tomes in LEGO Fortnite

To use a Tome in LEGO Fortnite, equip it to your Quickbar and hold the Place Build button to read it. You’ll either discover a Rune or Prop Tome, craftable recipes for the Rune Forge. Go to the building Utility section to make a Rune Forge using 20 Knotroot and 6 Glass.

Utilize the Essence collected from your adventures to upgrade your tools with the new recipes. It’ll boost stats like damage, durability, and enhanced enemy loot drops. Additionally, Prop Tomes (which tend to spawn in Rift Shrines) uncover unique cosmetic recipes. Discover them to personalize your village further with the latest furniture objects.
