What we have so far...



FROM THE RIDDLE:
By the source of knowledge
The top of the columns
An answer merged together

FROM THE BOTTLES:
Odd, even, odd, even
These columns have spines
The way the answer is merged is quite regular
Only the first letter on each column matters for the Alpha symbol

BOOKS:
Pirates
blank
Treasure Island - Robert Louis Stevenson
Epic Week Survival Guide
Adventurer's handbook
The great bug war the novel --- D'Angelus
Bug Hunting 101
Interesting Roleplay collected stories
A Journey to Epic Week --- Kim and Darth
The Tome of Alien Languages Vol 1 -- Heimdall and Dragonfire
Caribbean Pirates of the
blank

Just got this in my message bottle "Only the first letter on each column matters for the Alpha symbol."

Another thought that came to mind was the remark odd, even, odd, even
Doubt it will help but there we go

Meanwhile, if we turn letters into numbers:
16 _ 20 5 1 20 / 2 9 1 (20) 3 _ 5 = 4 even (5 if counting Tome), 6 odd
or
16 _ 20 5 1 7 / 2 9 10 (20) 3 _ 5 = 4 even (5 counting Tome), 6 odd

Could possibly count blanks as 0s, I suppose? Which might be countable as even, although 0 is technically both even and odd.

Good point too dragonfire.... it is interesting to see 2 blank books right on the 2nd position, beginning and end of the library books picture, as if they were blank spaces

still clueless as to the actual answer though going to go play some more doubutt and fishing and crafting and whacking goblins

WHOA WAIT

So if you take the first letters, the odd-numbered ones spell out "PETITE"

Maybe a coincidence, but uhhh it's a word, so I'm excited.

PETITE TABAC?

Petit Tabac is a cay in Tobago!

HRIEK

SHRIEK!!!

I suppose Petite Tabac could also be a name for it if one was unconcerned about grammatical gender!

Both are worth a shot!

Hot damn, time to clear some goblins out.

Food can wait this is exciting

Just checked this, and the letters made me think of something... An old community article on "Advanced Profile Prettification". Missing an R, and I'm not really good ate word jumbles like this, but it (to my strange and terrible mind) Looks like it could be spelling out Prettificate or something like that. I'ma check my bookmark for ideas

LOL priorities!!

DONE WOOOOOOOOOO

YES!
