Level VIII Scroll Creation

During the Ancient Powers event, a new crafting system for level VIII spell scroll creation was introduced. Some of these spells were previously available on a small number of quest items, however many are brand new. The components (quills, inks, and glyphs) can only be obtained in the new highest tier treasure profiles which currently on appears in special chests and never drops on creatures as loot. Quills may be combined with the Mana Scarabs (which are also the casting scarab for level 8 spells and can be purchased from certain vendors) in order to craft infused quills. Infused quills may be crafted with inks to create a combination of the two. This combination may then be crafted with a glyph to create a level 8 scroll. All components involved in making a scroll (quill, mana scarab, ink, and glyph) are consumed in the process of successfully making a scroll.

All components may also be traded or sold to a vendor, and the scrolls may likewise be traded or sold to a vendor. If crafting something you expected to work fails, very likely the spell simply does not exist for level 8. You will not lose components upon failed crafting, and there is no skill associated with level 8 spell crafting, so feel free to experiment safely with the various components and see what you may accomplish!

Steps in creating a level VIII Scroll:

  1. Add the quill to the mana scarab. + =
    The mana scarab infuses the quill with its magical power.
  2. Add the infused quill to the ink. + =
    You dip the quill into the magical ink, further empowering it.
  3. Add the enchanted quill to the glyph. + =
    You trace the rune with your enchanted quill and the pattern of the spell forms before you as a scroll.

This produces a tradable scroll which you can then learn as normal. Level 8 spells last for 90 minutes, or up to three hours with Augmentations.

All level 8 spells currently have a difficulty of 400 to cast, meaning that 400 buffed magic skill will cast successfully 50% of the time.

Here are some examples of casting success for some buffed values:

Spell cast chance of success
  • 400 - 50%
  • 405 - 54%
  • 410 - 57%
  • 415 - 61%
  • 420 - 65%
  • 425 - 68%
  • 430 - 71%
  • 435 - 74%
  • 440 - 77%
  • 445 - 79%
  • 450 - 82%
  • 455 - 84%
  • 460 - 86%
  • 465 - 88%
  • 470 - 89%
  • 475 - 90%
  • 480 - 92%
  • 485 - 93%
