Scrolling is something that becomes prominent in both PvE and PvP. Each scroll has a specific use and role that assists in PvE/ PvP (sometimes both)
Things to note when scrolling:
-AP Cost (scrolls that are used manually in battle will ALWAYS use 50 AP, scrolls that are randomized or used outside of battle will use 0 AP)
-Effect of the scroll
-Required lvl to use scrolls (BEG- up to lv30, INT - up to lv60, ADV - up to lv100, PRE - up to lv120
-Cast time (either instant or turn-based)
-Canceling scrolls
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Determining Cast Time:
-Scrolls based on turns will need 1-2 turns to be casted (note that scrolls have the cast time for both pve and pvp listed on them).
For example, Player 1 uses one turn based scroll. In order for it to go off, it needs one/ two full turn cycle.
One turn cycle:
Player 1(uses scroll this turn) > Player Two's turn > Player 1 (scroll goes off)
Two turn cycle:
Player 1 (uses scroll this turn) > Player two's turn > Player 1 (scroll delay) > Player two's turn > Player 1 ( scroll goes off)
Scroll Canceling:
*Note that each scroll used in battle has two red gems under its name. As the merc is physically attacked, the gems will disappear. If the merc is hit when there are no gems under the scroll's name, the scroll is successfully canceled
- Scrolls need to be physically (not magically) attacked by another player or mob three times in order to be completely negated.
- However in pvp, after two hits, certain scrolls will be delayed an extra turn giving the player another chance to cancel the scroll, while other scrolls go off immediately
Canceling a one turn cycle scroll:
Player 1 (uses scroll) > Player two (attacks the scrolling merc 3 successful times) > Player 1 (scroll is cancled)
Canceling a two turn cycle scroll:
Player 1 (uses scroll) > Player two (attacks the scrolling merc 2 successful times but misses third shot) > Player 1 (scroll is delayed for extra turn) > player two (attacks scrolling merc once) > player 1 (scroll is canceled)
Randomized Scrolls (PvP only):
-These scrolls are RANDOM, that is, the caster has no control over what scrolls he is getting. the ONLY control the player has is obtaining a randomized scroll in a pvp battle, but not WHAT TYPE of scroll it is.
-Randomized scrolls are obtainable by attacking enemy merc with a floating scroll over there heads (more info on randomized scroll at the bottom in the PvP section)
