The price of these scrolls is too damn high

The price of scrolls has become ridiculous. Seeing Scroll of Agility V’s posted on the AH for 18g is insane.

There is no real way to farm scrolls other than repair bots (which are more expensive than the scrolls themselves).

Blizzard should implement some way to acquire more scrolls. Perhaps a weekly or monthly quest such as the Consortium gem bag which rewards the player with 10 random scrolls. Anything at this point would help drastically.

There has to be some easy solution to this issue.

I dont see how its all that bad when destruction potions cost like 12g. You shouldnt need to get scrolls to succeed.

I didnt know scrolls were needed to down bosses.

Rogues can chest farm for scrolls.

But the best strategy is just not buying them. I cant imagine they increase your parse even 0.5%

Damn, where are destro pots 12g?

It’s possible to get scrolls from fishing too but for sure it’s not a great drop rate.

It’s called inscription. Wotlk waiting room.

In serious: tbc is tbc. Don’t ask for yet another change just because people are more sweaty about parses this time around.

Hi, friends. Marshall Lucky here for New Deal Used Cars, where we’re lowering inflation, not only by fighting high prices, not only by murdering high prices, but by blowing the living **** out of high prices.

You get scrolls from fishing as well. But the reason the price is high has nothing to do with their availability but rather the desire to not farm them and use bought gold on AH instead.

Agi acroll is .8% dps boost and Str scroll is .4%

Put them together and you get a 1.2% boost

or ~25dps

so yeah, even I dont buy them unless Im right on the cusps of 98 and need that extra for the pink parses

I don’t understand your logic. WHY should single consumable items be more expensive than one daily quest reward?

The same problem happened in classic 2019. Resources are too scarce to support the player population. YOU want to combat botting and gold buying? Make resources in the world more common. It won’t destroy the economy. It’ll just make it so players can farm what they need.

This is a good point that can seem somewhat counter intuitive to some. The cost of goods are relative to the value of time. The easier it is to obtain something on your own, the less you will pay for it. There is a balance there between “too easy” and “easy enough”.

Then don’t buy them?

They should just make them count as a battle or gaurdian elixir… that would solve it

Just make a new account, buy a boost, do the quest you get 5 from delete that account. Haha.

Smaller realms need to consider getting guilds together to farm what’s needed for the groups raid… We have open realm transfer now will be smaller markets. And some Huge ones…

go fish

no really. go fishing

There is no shortage of gold buying/trading cheaters to pay those prices.

Well I dont know how you can farm “V” scrolls but I farm str IV and agility IV in strat everytime so atleast those are freely farmable and both stack with the V version too

One of the common responses in this thread is that because scrolls only offer a very small dps gain then nobody should really care about the cost of the scrolls. This logic is flawed. What we have here is a market inefficiency and it’s a design flaw. The best buffs should be the most costly by relative comparisons. The smaller buffs should be relatively affordable. And this still doesn’t answer the question of how expensive the best buffs should be.

Relative to their power, scrolls are extraordinarily costly. If you think because scrolls only offer a tiny buff that you shouldn’t be concerned with their cost, you’re quite wrong in that assumption.
