1) I completed the Quest Spicing Things Up and sold the necklace to spice trader Jethro. After that, I completed forgotten lore, but now I can't access the other areas of the great library or do the quests The Lost Coven or Secrets of The Dead. You're supposed to be able to access the other areas of the library after completing Forgotten Lore, but I think that access to the library technically requires 15 reputation with the loreseekers and since I completed Spicing Things Up before doing Forgotten Lore (and sided with the golden hand) I can't access the library....and since there aren't any other quests to raise my reputation with the Royal Loreseekers, I guess I'm stuck.
2) what's going on with XP gain? I don't know why I haven't noticed until now, but sometimes I don't gain much (or any XP from killing enemies) for instance, killing ghosts and wraiths in Deadwood sometimes gives me only 3 XP points (and sometimes 0 XP points) and when I was in Fogas forest killing Corrupted Sabercats, I usually got around 224 XP per sabercat killed, but occasionally it would only give me 23 or 24 XP.
