Talk to the Team: Scrolls

[AmonGwareth]

Wanted to open this section to get feedback, suggestions, comments on scrolls. Drawbacks, ways to improve them, which aren't used, which are, etc.

OK, Remove the 12 second timer inbetween scroll casts. We have to wait allready while it casts.

Make it so they dont remove themselves on a dis-conn. costly to cast a scroll the lose conn 1 min later and lose the buff anyway.

Some have said their too expensive to buy the comps needed for the scroll v's the cost they can sell the scrolls for, dunno?

Apart from that they seem to work well for me. Being a Primary Dragon its very handy to be able to gift myself while in Doom :)

Curious which ones you are trying to use in sequence so quickly? The healing scrolls?

Unfortunately I have no way of doing this. Simply a drawback to being in or near combat.

I assume they mean the travel scrolls since no other components are npc-purchased?

Aye the T5 Gift scrolls. Spcifically the Dex scroll followed by the Str scroll.

Oh one other thing i noticed, dont know if its just me or others too.
The scrolls dont show in the crafting selection screen.
Click on the 'scrolls' and just a black screen. Have to select 'all' or 'resource' to see the scrolls.

I love travel scrolls. At any price.

I do not like/use the others.

I love potions and see no reason to use scrolls instead.
I love to fight in companionship-see no reason to fight alone and use scrolls instead^^

I would like to make sure travel tokens for the scrolls are not attuned to the buyer. I typically ask folks outside of my guild to furnish the required materials for what I make - that does not work if the tokens are attuned. I also never remember the tokens attune, which makes things a bit awkward...

I think the scrolls might be used more if they gave buffs of a different intensity/duration, so that at times they're more useful than typically available spells.

For example, the new healing potions awarded at the Bruttien homestead for one quest (that are frankly very needed for survival on the named dire wolf kill quest) interested me. They do not last as long as the Vestia's but they provide significantly faster healing for the shorter duration.

Perhaps if the buff scrolls worked like that instead (especially if stackable with potion effects, though that may imbalance things too much) they'd be put to much more use.

Would it be possible to make it so we can use scrolls in combat=especially with shielding scrolls, it's a bit annoying not being able to use it in mid battle even though it's intended for battle use.

One thought i had while crafting is,
Why not lower or remove the timer to re-use teleport scrolls?
1 hour re-use time makes them sort of pointless to craft.
I mean, you allready have paid more than the cost of using a portal to buy the scroll in the first place.
Plus with no timer you may get crafters using other resource fields than just having everyone at the same field nearest a portal?

I cant see any downside to not having a timer and it would make the travel scrolls alot more usefull and thus worth crafting in the first place?

I agree, the timer seems overkill. I don't mind so much on a single destination having the cool down, but the half hour required for other destinations is too long to be useful. Since I can't use them every time I run to the field and fill my disk (takes me 10-15 min to load up my big hauler, take it to shop/storage and return to the field), I more or less forget to use them at all.

[LOVWYRM]

I support Sind and Awdz with this!

[Chajanum]

I want to suggest ressurrection scrolls which basically could work like the t1-t5 resurrection spells but without school restrictions so that any school culd use it. (maybe even a pure crafter without adventure level?)
