Crossfire Forum

i want to suggest a different way to calculate the xp you gain for inscribing scrolls.

the xp you gain now depends on your inscription lvl and the spell you try to inscribe.

i would suggest to add a factor: the lvl of the scroll you try to rewrite

example:

assume you are lvl 100 inscription, you write a spell and gain 100 (index) xp each successful attempt (now)

my idea would be: you gain 100 xp for a successful rewrite of a lvl 50 scroll (and below) but more xp for successful rewriting a higher lvl scroll, for you should gain more xp for harder things

no idea how this would affect game play, but how about making it 100 + min(0, (2*scroll lvl - inscription lvl)/4) xp?

thus you would gain 125 xp if you successfully overwrite a scroll with a lvl that equals your inscription lvl

I do like the idea, it makes sense but it is already not so hard to level up inscription why make it even easier?

its not a big problem to reduce the xp you gain on succes, is it?

note: lvling inscription is hard, not the writing itself, but the collecting of scrolls is.

In fact, the really hard part about inscription is getting the skill! It may be the least common skill scroll in the game afaik

The patch with Mith's formula is available at http://bsucab.uwcs.co.uk/cf/patches/ins ... _mod.patch If anyone would like to test it and see how it works feel free to do so I don't really know much about the difficulties of dealing with inscription so afraid will not be able to adequately judge the change.
The change itself is a one liner and can be modified easily if this one does not produce desired results.
