Revamped Scrolling

Our revamped scrolling system is nearly identical to base pre-big bang maple. White Scrolls are tiered and obtained via crafting using Monster Crystals. Monsters drop tiered Monster Crystals based on their level at a **10% drop rate.** Bosses will provide more Monster Crystals, scaled to their difficulty. Additionally, each equipment has a tier. | Tiers | Equip Level | Monster Level | |--------------|----------------|----------------| | Basic | Levels 1 - 49 | Levels 1 - 49 | | Intermediate | Levels 50 - 89 | Levels 50 - 89 | | Advanced | Levels 90 - 139 | Levels 90 - 139 | | Legendary | Level 140+ | Level 140+ | The table above reflects what type of Monster Crystal gets used for the different Equipment Tiers, as well as the level range of monsters dropping the various crystals. ## Regular Scrolls Scrolls are nearly the same as they used to be, with a few changes | Old Weapon Scrolls (+Attack) | New Weapon Scrolls (+Attack) | Old Armour Scrolls (+STR/DEX/INT/LUK) | New Armour Scrolls (+STR/DEX/INT/LUK) | |-------------------------------- |------------------------------- |--------------------------------------- |--------------------------------------- | | 100% (+1) | 90% (+1) | 100% (+1) | 90% (+1) | | 70% (+2) | 70% (+3) | 70% (+2) | 70% (+2) | | 60% (+2) | 50% (+5) | 60% (+2) | 50% (+3) | | 30% (+5) | 30% (+7) | 30% (+3) | 30% (+4) | | 10% (+5) | 10% (+10) | 10% (+3) | 10% (+5) | * Overalls will follow a separate system of +2/+3/+4/+6/+7 to be balanced with Tops and Bottoms * Non-Weapon + Attack Scrolls (Gloves, Cape, and Shoes) will follow the +1/+2/+3/+4/+5 system Yes, we will introduce Scrolls for Cape and Shoes for Attack, though Chaos Scrolls still exist for a greater potential outcome. Side note: The boost in attack from +3 to +10 max attack per scroll for weapons would be essential for the progressive post-bb expedition boss concept in Selene. It is a necessary buff compared to pre-bb servers that end with horntail, or at most pink bean as their final boss. This can be still be balanced as we scale the late-end game bosses in terms of their HP (surrounding increased damage output). ## Chaos Scrolls Chaos Scroll will exist to provide an avenue for risk-takers to gamble for higher stats. It will, however, have its effects extended from -5 till +5 to be -10 till +10 instead, to suit the updated scrolls boost. Weapons, as usual, need not be chaosed as they increase by +10 at 10%, while non-weapon scrolls benefit from up to +5 additional boost. ## White Scrolls **Note:** Players are still able to use the regular scrolls on their equipment as per usual, at the risk of losing a slot if it fails. White Scrolls also function as per usual in that using them saves the equipment from losing a slot if the regular scroll fails. ### White Scroll Fragments Due to the nature of our upgrade system being in tiers, we have to use White Scrolls in tiers as well. However, players coming into Selene from other servers would typically associate White Scrolls as an item used in individual units. The thought of requiring up to 5 White Scrolls to scroll once may be confusing. Therefore, we are introducing ‘White Scroll Fragments’ in place of White Scrolls instead. Basically, the more powerful the scroll, the more fragments it requires to be used. | Type of Scroll | No. of White Scroll Fragments | |----------------|-------------------------------| | 90% | 1 | | 70% | 2 | | 50% | 3 | | 30% | 4 | | 10% | 5 | White Scroll Fragments come from Monster Crystals via monsters/bosses. The number of Monster Crystals required varies based on tiers as follows: | White Scroll Fragments | Monster Crystal Quantity | |-----------------------|-------------------------| | Basic | 5 | | Intermediate | 10 | | Advanced | 15 | | Legendary | 20 | # Overview At a glance, this is how the Upgrade System looks, including the White Scroll Fragments <table class="big-table"> <thead> <tr> <th>Tier</th> <th>Scrolls</th> <th>No. of Fragments</th> <th>No. of Monster Crystals per Fragment</th> </tr> </thead> <tbody> <tr> <td rowspan="5">Basic <br>(Level 1 - 49)</td> <td>90%</td> <td>1</td> <td rowspan="5">5</td> </tr> <tr> <td>70%</td> <td>2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>50%</td> <td>3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>30%</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>10%</td> <td>5</td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="5">Intermediate <br>(Level 50 - 89)</td> <td>90%</td> <td>1</td> <td rowspan="5">10</td> </tr> <tr> <td>70%</td> <td>2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>50%</td> <td>3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>30%</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>10%</td> <td>5</td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="5">Advanced <br>(Level 90 - 139)</td> <td>90%</td> <td>1</td> <td rowspan="5">15</td> </tr> <tr> <td>70%</td> <td>2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>50%</td> <td>3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>30%</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>10%</td> <td>5</td> </tr> <tr> <td rowspan="5">Legendary <br>(Level 140+)</td> <td>90%</td> <td>1</td> <td rowspan="5">20</td> </tr> <tr> <td>70%</td> <td>2</td> </tr> <tr> <td>50%</td> <td>3</td> </tr> <tr> <td>30%</td> <td>4</td> </tr> <tr> <td>10%</td> <td>5</td> </tr> </tbody> </table> Here is a quick 4-step process when applying White Scroll Fragments onto any piece of equipment using the above table as reference: 1. Which Tier does your equipment belong to? (Check Item Level) 2. What scroll are you trying to use on your equipment? (Check number of White Scroll Fragments required) 3. How many Monster Crystals do you need for each White Scroll Fragment? 4. What Monster Level range should you be fighting at to get your Monster Crystals from? ### Case Scenarios To help understand the way this works, here are four case scenarios. **Scenario 1: Scrolling a Level 10 Bow (Basic):** - Using a 90% scroll requires 1 White Scroll Fragment = 1 * 5 = 5 Basic Monster Crystals - Using a 50% scroll requires 3 White Scroll Fragments = 3 * 5 = 15 Basic Monster Crystals - Using a 10% scroll requires 5 White Scroll Fragments = 5 * 5 = 25 Basic Monster Crystals **Scenario 2: Scrolling a Level 50 Spear (Intermediate):** - Using a 90% scroll requires 1 White Scroll Fragment = 1 * 10 = 10 Intermediate Monster Crystals - Using a 50% scroll requires 3 White Scroll Fragments = 3 * 10 = 30 Intermediate Monster Crystals - Using a 10% scroll requires 5 White Scroll Fragments = 5 * 10 = 50 Intermediate Monster Crystals **Scenario 3: Scrolling a Level 90 Gun (Advanced):** - Using a 90% scroll requires 1 White Scroll Fragment = 1 * 15 = 15 Advanced Monster Crystals - Using a 50% scroll requires 3 White Scroll Fragments = 3 * 15 = 45 Advanced Monster Crystals - Using a 10% scroll requires 5 White Scroll Fragments = 5 * 15 = 75 Advanced Monster Crystals **Scenario 4: Scrolling a Level 140 Claw (Expert):** - Using a 90% scroll requires 1 White Scroll Fragment = 1 * 20 = 20 Expert Monster Crystals - Using a 50% scroll requires 3 White Scroll Fragments = 3 * 20 = 60 Expert Monster Crystals - Using a 10% scroll requires 5 White Scroll Fragments = 5 * 20 = 100 Expert Monster Crystals ## Scrolls Fusion This enables players to combine two of the same type of scrolls to potentially create a scroll of a higher tier **at a 50% rate.** 90% Scroll + 90% Scroll = Chance of 70% Scroll 70% Scroll + 70% Scroll = Chance of 50% Scroll 50% Scroll + 50% Scroll = Chance of 30% Scroll 30% Scroll + 30% Scroll = Chance of 10% Scroll This enables players to make lower quality scrolls useful; players who are only intending to use 10%/30% scrolls would still keep and accumulate their 90% scrolls.
