| Wow, well, interesting reading for certain.
I had a break from the game, came back a couple of weeks ago, and hey presto, we have a new island. Pretty cool stuff, took a quick look around, a few quests n such like, not purely for the really high lvl players, all round, I thought a good addition.
I kept seeing these scrolls coming up in chat as well. Didn't really think too much of it until I started to spot a few not so happy comments about it.
I have just read through this, and another post plus replies about this very subject.
I just want to add briefly that I have to agree with what appears to be a large portion of players who would like some clarity as to how to obtain these items.
As a player who has played solo in the past, and probably will do again in the future, without the backing of a clan it would be nice (as already mentioned) if the actual way to obtain these items was added to the manual. I tried to find it in there myself. Neither the mining or woodcutting guides say anything about scrolls, apart from the bottom of mining, but again doesn't say how to obtain it. From what I have seen, these items are pure and simple outright luck to find. This is really really not a good way to operate. Rare is fine, it should be for a while, but it should still be accessible to players who have the lvls to use/obtain in whatever skill they major in. I currently am woodcutting to get to lvl 100 to cut at the lvl 100 forest. I would think that by that time I should be able to chop everywhere (assuming the quests completed etc etc) but it sounds like I still can't access the wood on calmere, or if I can, I can't obtain certain drops without this scroll??
That, would not be a case of lucky or not, that would be simply, and looks like it is to some players, a kick in the gut. I hope to play here for years to come, it is a great game, I genuinely love it, but I have always had something to aim for where I know I need xxx lvl to be able to do xxx action. If we are going in the direction where I could get to the required lvl to do something, but still can't do it due to luck and an absolutely crazy low drop rate, I wonder, what is the incentive to carry on?
IMO, to make it fair, make it quest based. It is a simple, proven means of making something difficult but rewarding to obtain. You wanna make the gained items rare, make the quests really tough/high lvl to complete, thus making the 'grind' well worthwhile.
It also takes away the shop option of being able to buy it whereby a clan of any size can just happily purchase without having to do the work.
Kind regards all,
Thanks to all, Dev team and players, you're all pretty awesome.
