Tumione page rarity

From farming the gift drops on Helltower, it seems that the Tumidum pages are really, really rare or obtainable only from the 4 Helltower acheivements acheivement. Can anyone confirm?

I currently have one Tumione page but close too twenty of the other pages; I have the acheivement. A friend who is doing the same also has a lot of pages but no Tumidum page; she doesn't have the acheivement.

Pages of Congeriae - the 4th spell

I just found a fourth type of page for the fancy spellbook. Its called "Pages of Congeriae" which translates to either accumulation or chaos. Wondering if this is a rare page?

I was wondering about this. I don't have any of the ones not already listed myself but there are at least 5 named. Do you have the Manntastic-Four achievement? I've been told that after you get it your page drop rate increases. No idea if it's true or not but if so perhaps they're related. -- Lagg 00:29, 4 November 2013 (PST)

I've just received this page too, on my 51st costume piece (Faun Feet). Perhaps Congeriae is for getting 50 costume pieces, and Veteris for all 100? My spellbook status is 1 Tumidum / 18 Gratanter / 23 Audere / 1 Congeriae. -- Cass277

It'd be nice if we could get repeatable experiments from this. This is the first time I've seen it suggested that it's related to the costume items. Do you know anyone else that has that many by any chance? -- Lagg 05:05, 4 November 2013 (PST)

I'm afraid I don't -- I've had many duplicate costumes which I've had to use transmorgifiers on, I've likely possessed over 70 pieces but the moment I got 50 unique ones, the next gift gave me a Congeriae page. It could be just a theory but perhaps worth checking out (I'm praying I can get all 100 by the end of this event). -- Cass277

I only have 30 gift drops (33 if you count transmogrifiers), and I got a page of Congeriae on mine: http://tf2b.com/tf2/item/PrinnyMask/2031766240

I got a page of Tumidum from the achievement reward page though, so that's looking likely. - Daakun (talk)

Just got a second page of Congeriae, so throw my conspiracy out the window! It's interesting that this is the first day that people are starting to get Congeriae, though. Must be a reason for it. http://tf2b.com/tf2/item/cass277/2033556496 -- Cass277

I got my first right before I got my 5th Helltower achievement. I don't think I've got 50 costume pieces either. Elsuperbeasto7711 (talk) 21:40, 4 November 2013 (PST)

Which effect affects which spell?

Like the spell name to the effect bonus?Nibelhim (talk) 06:25, 4 November 2013 (PST)

No bonus really. Its just for the description counter. Some spells get a small sparkle effect but thats because of the Fancy Spellbook (which is hardly noticable) Ashes (talk) 07:06, 4 November 2013 (PST)

Veteris
