How to get Nocturnal Insomnia
Heroic books cannot be bought at the Enchanter.
The Tinkerer does not take Heroic books.
Heroic books drop from Nether Envoy Soul crates; End Envoy Soul and Heroic crates. The crate rewards that give them: Heroic Enchantment Book, Random 100% Heroic Book, Random Heroic Book.
A Random Heroic Book opens into a Heroic book with a success rate between 5% and 50%; a Random 100% Heroic Book opens at 100%.
Every enchant book shows a success rate and a destroy rate. A book that fails can destroy the item it was dragged onto - a White Scroll stops that: Prevents an item from being destroyed due to a failed Enchantment Book.
Heroic enchants cannot be taken off with a normal Black Scroll.
Nocturnal Insomnia is the Heroic upgrade of Insomnia: the item needs that enchant first.
