LEGO Fortnite: How To Find & Use Tomes

While exploring the Lost Isles in LEGO, players will want to find and use Tomes: readable books that unlock new Runes and Prop blueprints. Runes are incredibly useful for improving weapon stats and adding buffs, while new Prop blueprints provide new items and decorations with a bit of flair for avid settlement builders. However, Tomes are also rather hard to find.

To engage with this new content, players will need to hop on a Battle Bus and travel to the Lost Isles. There are two different types of Tomes: Klombo Rune Tomes and Klombo Prop Tomes. Rune Tomes provides new weapons and items Runes, while Prop Tomes provides new building items. However, the two Tome types can drop from different locations, so players must explore far and wide.

The best way to find Rune Tomes quickly is to find and loot the golden chests in the Floating Islands biome.

Rune Tomes only seem to drop from chests in the Floating Islands and appear to drop 100% of the time when chests in the Floating Islands are looted. Due to LEGO use of random world seeds, it isn't possible to provide specific locations for golden chests, but they're generally straightforward to spot and are scattered everywhere throughout this biome.

To reach the Floating Islands, either build up to them using gathered materials, build a Balloon Platform, or find a geyser and use it to launch into the air. Equipping a Glider is also highly recommended, as it's an excellent way to navigate between different floating islands.

Based on some quick testing I did in my LEGO world, Rune Tomes don't appear to drop from defeated enemies or the chests at enemy bases, such as Pirate Towns. As such, the only way to obtain Rune Tomes appears to be looting chests in the Floating Islands. When read, Rune Tomes unlocks a single random Rune recipe.

Unlocked Runes can appear randomly when players are rolling for Runes at a Rune Forge. Runecrafting in LEGO involves building and placing a Rune Forge workbench. Players can add up to three Runes
