Locations of All Free-To-Play Ancient Tomes

Welcome to Around The Spiral’s Free Ancient Tomes guide. This post provides the location of every free Companion Training Tome. Training Tomes can be used to level your companions. You may choose to buy them with gold or challenge yourself and search for free ones when you are out of gold.

Feel free to click on the buttons below to access each world’s free training tome locations! You may click on the Back To Top button to return to the menu to click on the next world – or you can scroll through and find all of them as I did. 😀 If you notice a missing tome in one or more of the marked locations below, your pirate has already collected it at one point.
