Over-flowing Thayan scrolls & Vanguard Scrips

radtatat · February 2014

Any possible use for them after finishing the Dread Ring campaign?

I stopped doing the 3 dailies and only do the lair quests way before I finished all the boons and gauntlets but I still ended up with lots of these two left. It is over-flowing and will keep on increasing as I do the lair quests (for artifact, RP stones, salvageable purples, something to do in-game etc).

At least for Sharandar, the crescents can be exchanged for pots...

Hi,

i have got the same problem: http://nw-forum.perfectworld.com/showthread.php?612481-Something-has-to-change

These Items are lost in the bag, and there is no use except of destroying an huge amount of Ads!

kabinoles · February 2014

same here have a lot and you can do nothing with them,after you have all the boons and the keys

valwryn · February 2014

You can always buy keys for the dungeons to stock up on all the Purple Power, Union, and Stability thingies.

query523 · February 2014

Keys are also 5KAD. the most expensive ones on the AH are 4.5KAD. Worthless. At least in Sharandar keys give you a long gamble on getting an artifact off of Cel. But in Dred you need the gauntlet and can only make one per day. Script/ scrolls etc. are useless after you attain boons and admant gauntlet.

Not aware of any artifact from Sharandar except for the Emblem from the Dungeon. With the latest lockbox, there is the Priceless Thayan Relic or whatever it is called that gives a Star Metal Gauntlet. You can trade these relics so you get more chances to open up the Arcane Coffer. So if you get 100 Relics, then you have 100 chances of opening the Arcane Coffer in one run.

But I do agree, they need some item to spend Scrolls and Scrips on like costumes, potions, astral diamonds, or something else.

but from the other side... its the campaign currency, what you expect to do with it after getting everything from the campaign? sounds quite logical to me... btw arent in campaign window some reward tasks which consume currency and give some reward? or they arent repeatable? or do they consume another currencies? im not sure, im still progressing the campaign

nameexpired · February 2014

Considering that I opened an arcane coffer every day with an arcane glove whenever possible, apart from 5 days due to holiday, I have with my 4 character so far only 1 with an Eye of Lathandar. I made the adamant glove before I went after the boons.

Funny thing is, this one toon with an eye already has 2. If at least they were BoA ... *dreams*

So, 3 Eyes still on my wishlist, after running the lairs nearly daily.

I have a suggestion where to use those scrolls and scrips ...

The RNG hates me, and there is sadly no way that I ever certainly will receive an Eye of Lathandar. Even for all the AD/ZEN I have. I have 280 scrolls - and finished VT once or twice (I think I also got some scrolls there).

adinosii · February 2014

Indeed - this is a bit disappointing. With Sharandar you have a sink in the form of Fay blessing enchants - you can either sell them for some nice extra income or build up your 3 Greater Fey Blessing enchants, for a 9% additional chance or a R4 drop whenever you kill anything. THat's really nice, and gives you something to do.

In Dread Ring - duh - I do the quests whenever I need to level up a companion, and I do the daily instance, but it's not really rewarding - and yeah, it is annoying just to see those worthless scrolls and scrips pile up.

Unfortunately, they use AD and gold as well.

If you could buy the campaign thayan artisan pack for scrips, it'd be good since you could at least scrap them into rAD, but you can't since you need more AD than they are worth when salvaging (IIRC you need 10k AD to buy them and they are certainly worth no more than 10k rAD). So it's pretty much useless, especially considering they give only +30 stats (and not always useful ones) more than any Grand item you can buy off AH for 10-12k AD and no additional hassle.

maxilockheart · February 2014

then that's probably a problem... obvious solution would be just let it go (no reason to do daily quests anymore when someone got all boons) and bring module 3 with new campaign and make it a bit harder, so new players can focus on first two when reaching 60 and third would be for more geared people, like T2 campaign

krimbarbarroja · February 2014

"just let it go" is not a solution, obvious or otherwise.

Obvious solution is to put *something* in sale for the scrolls: Potions, seals, scrolls, or even vendor trash. Whatever.

maxilockheart · February 2014

not really, it depends on what Cryptic want campaigns to be...

if they don't want it to be a source of resource farm, than you just finish boons and other things you want from campaign window or lairs and then you are supposed to stop doing daily quests unless you need XP or Gold

if you still do them for any other reason, you are not doing it right according to the actual concept...

it's like XP, why arent they utilizing them? they are useless on lvl 60 except for companion leveling... thats the same as with the scrolls

they dont want XP to be source of anything else then just XP, thus maybe they dont want scrolls to be source of anything except of campaign progress

maybe something cool at the very end of campaign progress would be nice, for more HC oriented players... maybe a campaign themed mount? or companion? or something like that

There is not enough content for Cryptic to say "hey, just finish your boons and don't do it again"... I mean, i've finished both Sharandar and Dread Ring campaigns, what I'm supposed to do, just stop playing until Module 3? Daily quests are there as a filler, but if they yield nothing useful then I have no single player content left.

As people don't always have time for proper party content, and foundry is just "meh" when it comes to rewards, there's nothing else you can do to actually progress your character.

maxilockheart · February 2014

yes you are right with this... that's why i said that obvious solution would be to release module 3

or that themed mount/companion/anything for people who are farming dailies for a long time, but they provide them in the lockbox or paid pack associated with the module already, so i'm not sure how would it work this way while not devaluing those from lockbox/pack... anyway, doing daily quests is just too easy to be a way to provide AD income imo, maybe add some conversion of campaign resources to RAD? that could be solid compromise

Well, they can't release a module until it's ready, but they can easily add a minor reward (be it a new green mount, green companion, a potion pack or whatever)... make it tradable, and that's it. You don't add a new source of AD but they can still be earned by selling the item on AH

maxilockheart · February 2014

yes that's what i mean, as long as it would be expensive and couldn't be spammed into AH in big numbers, it could work

as you said, green mount or companion would be ideal imo, or maybe even blue, depends on other things

Well, obviously that was not what they were thinking with Sharandar and the Fey Blessing enchantments, so it would suck a lemmon if they suddenly decided it was this way.

And besides, since my char only has 2 artifacts, I am clearly not done with the DR campaign, and sooner or later I am going to NEED *something* to dump my scrips, doh! Unless the latest shard of sanity has slipped away and the idea is something like "Hey, you didn't get it during your first X tries, so sorry, forget about it". This being Cryptic, it is not completely impossible.

beckylunatic · February 2014

Adding the Priceless Thayan Antiquity to the lockbox, thus giving players an incentive to trade those in that goes beyond simply trying to speed up their Dread campaign, means that there's more need than ever for an additional currency sink or two for scrip and scrolls. You can dump extra ciphers, no problem, but they only convert into... MOAR SCRIP.

With or without the addition of a useful repeatable campaign task, there really does need to be some kind of potion or something to buy with them. I sort of wonder if the potions of heroism aren't supposed to work for that, but that coding to be able to buy them with different currencies depending on your location didn't work out.

This is exactly how I feel right now. I have actually started playing another game this week out of boredom in Neverwinter...

Just give us one useful thing to do with all those excess scrolls and scrips...let us buy pots with it, or exchange it to onyx fragments so we can then change it to seals to get thrash purple to salvage...something remotely useful than clogging up space...

lassebierstroem · February 2014

I would still say that this is a bug and they just copy/paste the pots into this vendor. The pots should consume scrips.

The solution isnt hard to find. Its easy, they just have to give us the possibility to exchange the other two campaign currencies to vanguard scrips and let us buy some pots for the scrips. Everybody could live with it.

godhric · April 2014

It's kinda weird buying things in Dread campaign using one of Sharandar currencies. I dont see any sharandar goodies bought with dread currencies.. It's gotta be a mis-typing of code or something.

vortican · April 2014

Man, I wish I actually had this problem.

"I have no room in my wallet for these monies!!"

query523 · April 2014

The most valuable drop from Dred seems to be Onyx. Because when you level a new toon you can mail all of your onyx to it and then only have to do tower runs.
