ID scroll drops

in General Discussion (PC)
Restarted the game after a long hiatus away, and was wondering if the drops for ID scrolls are nonexistent. I have not seen an ID scroll drop since I started Black Dagger Ruins and i'm 3/4 finished with Neverdeath.

    I get plenty every day.
    I'm not looking for forgiveness, and I'm way past asking permission. Earth just lost her best defender, so we're here to fight. And if you want to stand in our way, we'll fight you too.

    I second what @greywynd said. I get a lot every day. In fact, I currently have over 2k unbound scrolls on my warlock and I haven't purchased any from the auction house.

    It's rng - absolutely kills some people. When leveling up a character, I rarely have enough to identify every green drop. Usually just end up merchanting most of them.

    If you need some send me an ingame mail and I'll mail you some back! @reg1981

    ID scrolls are never an issue for me, but the Howling Adventurer Pack in the AH is your best method to grab 100 at 5 to 6 K. That is what the pack drops most common, you also get some default items as well. If you are not into mystery boxes, just visit the graveyard where Charthraxis hangs out. I scoop up a lot there waiting on the dragon.

    If you pick up everything from the ground (like me) and only use pick up id scroll to id items, that would not be enough.

    i.e.
    # of items picked up > # of id scroll picked up

    ID scroll does drop a lot. I have just stashed another stack of 999 pick up id scroll to storage last week.

    In the early levels my RNG was bad with ID scrolls but it evened out after a while.

    They are cheep enough on the A.H.
    The trick here is that you really shouldn't be I.D.'ing every green you get.
    Only I.D. the stuff you really think you might use. Sell the rest unidentified. You really don't loose much cash and you will be swimming in Gold by the time you hit 70 anyway. Even the relatively small amount of A.D. you can earn pre-Modules will quickly be enough to keep you in Blues, in and around you level, for most of the Story. In fact, a couple of days saving should get you a set of Blue Weapons that level with you. The ones that drop from the Dragons in the main story, I forget what they are called. When you hit 60 (I think, might be 70) you can get the gear from Seals Of The Brave.

    Thanks for replies, it sounds like the RNG Gods were on a coffee break yesterday.

    I don't sell my grren drops for gold. I use them for freeRP.

    Levelling, I'd often run out. Once I hit 70, I started accumulating them. I identify everything now.

    Anecdotally we have had this discussion before and it seemed at the time as if the drop rates roughly two greens per ID scroll. I guess it changes over time though :smiley:

    just remember, those horrible boxes have 100 scrolls in them.

    I get 25 / day with VIP, and despite ID'ing what seems like a LOT of green items (to turn into RP), I still keep increasing how many I have....

    I admit there were a few times prior to VIP where I needed to sometimes buy some on AH but often they aren't too terribly expensive.

    Someone mentioned that... I had to buy 10 of them before I got the Scrolls of Id.

    i regret the say that i ask for more ID scrolls, now it is bit too much, and adding 100 scrolls was way over the board. i used on green on the go just clearing my packs since the blue drops isnt that many or too few in between days.
