scribe scroll is a mage skill that allows the creation of scrolls, using any spell component with a spell group affinity. It was released as part of the Advent 2015 event. The scrolls created can be used by any character and may also be sold on auction.

Scroll chaining

The mage skill scroll chaining allows the adding of additonal spells on to scribed scrolls, unlike the initial creation of the scroll chaining does not require gold, instead each succesive chain becomes more and more mana expensive e.g. initial scribe 80 mana, 1st chain 80 mana, 2nd chain 420 mana, 3rd chain 760 mana. While chaining and scribing scrolls, it's important to wear the highest mage cast level possible or the level of the spells will be reduced.

How to make a scribed scroll

  1. Find spell components with the correct affinity of the spell you wish to scribe. The brewing skill reagent lore will be useful for this.
  2. type scribe create <spellname> [spellcomp] e.g. scribe create fireball weed. This will use 1lb of the spell component and cost 100 gold, regardless as to whether a scroll is successfully created or not.
  3. type scribe add <scroll> <spellname> [spellcomp] e.g. scribe add scroll fireball weed to chain additonal spells to the scroll
