Scrolls? What scrolls?

[WNxSammer-X]

Hey peoples... Sammer-X here, the mage who has been getting his head blown off lately... I've been looking at the scrolls in the mage show and sadly. That's a very MEAGER amount of scrolls... Nothing there to really look forward to. MY idea is to put almost every scroll in. I know what your thinking. Mages will be to powerfull running around with way to many spells. Quite the contrary. By making level 9 spells 90k each level 8 spells 80k a peice 7 70k a peice and so on scrolls will be rather hard to come by. You wont be able to rely on them much. Just for wizards to buy to memorize if say a bioware bug screws your character like mine :-( :-x ... If you trying to level when it gets laggy sometimes two or 3 window will pop up for you to level your guy... This crashs your game. But here the catch. You still level up. you just dont get any hp and spells or any feats. So scrolls would come in handy for us mages who have lost our hands :P

[Almuric]

Provide a suggested scroll list. We're not going to put every scroll in there for every spell, but we're open to some requests.

Also I'm moving this post to the suggestions forum.

Well... I am thinking spells like:
Wail
Wierd
Timestop
Premonition
Greater Stoneskin
Greater Dispell
Greater Spell Mantle
Issacs Greater Missle Storm
Bigsbies spells
Firebrand
Acid Shield (when it comes)
elemental shield
Fireball
Icestorm
Chain Lightning
Various team buffs (So you can convert your Wizard into a team buffer from a blaster)
Polymorph spells
Mords
Improved Invisibility
There will be more... But I am thinking just the essentials... And since your a Wizard with these you wont have EVERYTHING at your disposal at once to use because you must memorize spells. That way you couldnt be able to change at a moments notice on the battlefield to say ice storm from some other spell if that is what would be better at the time :razz:

[Almuric]

ok...first take every 9th level spell off of that list. You have to use your own spell learning slots at level up for those. After that I'll look it over again. We have to have some limitations. :)

[WNxSammer-X]

Limitations?!?!?! :sad: :-( . J/k... Ok... I will revise it... Gotta look through my handy spell guide...

[Kraah]

I agree on not having 9th level scrolls. However a wizard's strength is having a large reportoire of spells, and without such a selection available, the Sorcerer is *clearly* a better choice for PvP. Here's a suggestion for scrolls.

That's a pretty big list! Did you look at what scrolls are already in the mage store?

[Kraah]

Admitedly the list is a little big, but what's in the stores is hardly anything. There's like 10 scrolls or something which is hardly enough. I've heard it being said that do to the lack of scrolls, a sorcerer is way better than a wizard on this server, and it certainly does look like it, since when I advance in level I can really feel the lack of a good spell selection. Also, at level 15 I almost have all the best equipment I can buy, including from the elite store (minus the spellbooks). There would be nice to have a wide selection scrolls, so as to have something to spend money on, *and* balance out the Sorcerer and Wizard classes.

[Almuric]

I admit that the scroll selection is a little lacking. I'll be sure to get more scrolls in with the next update.

[Kraah]

Perhaps add a scroll vendor with lots of scrolls to the elite store, but with outrageous prices?

[Almuric]

That's not a bad idea. The vendor in the elite store could have level 7 and 8 spells. :)
