Scroll of Invisible

Ok, I realize that numbers are random, and SE does not in fact hate me(...), but I have now killed over 500 monsters that supposedly drop the Scroll of Invisible. (Yes, I've counted.) I have killed Yagudos in 2 zones, Garnet Quadavs in Bedeaux, and Goblin Leechers in 5 different zones. As you can guess, there have been zero drops.

The first assumption is, jesus christ, that guy is unlucky. And, yes, that would normally be an accurate assessment, but if you've looked at the AH prices of the scroll lately, you'll see that the price is way up there. It's between 50k and 60k on Ragnarok, with similar prices on Cait Sith before the merge.

This is a scroll that used to be so common it was often not worth even trying to put up on the AH because there were so many up. It was right up there in commonality with Sneak and Deodorize. Now it is a huge and unavoidable expense for any Mage that is very early in the game that simply used to not be there.

I don't know why the availability of this scroll has become such an issue. Perhaps no one fights the mobs that drop it (which seems unlikely considering how much competition I've had for mobs that drop it), or there have been a glut of new WHMs for the past several months, but, in any case, SE, please adjust this drop rate. This is ridiculous for such a pivotal and early spell.

That is actually a bit odd.

IT's always been that low of a drop rate. It's that hard for you to find because the amount of people even bothering to kill the mobs that drop it is MUCH lower now.

If you're on Odin I'll farm you up one for free.

Gobbies in the dunes have dropped this for me a couple times in 6 months of playing. Never had it drop of anything else but I'm sure I am not alone in having killed more stuff in the dunes than any of the other zones ><

This is just sad....... if you're on valefor i'll dbox you one

I believe the recent buff to sneak/invis status effects drove up the prices. Shame that ninjutsu and jigs weren't affected, but that's the way the cookie crumbles ^^

Jeeze, I know what you mean. I've been trying to find this scroll for awhile now, been killing Gobs non-stop in 3 zones, had TH1 as a /thf, and still nothing. I wish it would be a little more common of a drop rate, 'cause I can't afford the 65k on Asura that is needed for it.

yup, been farming this for 3 days now. 50k on Shiva's AH. ridiculous.


edit: would be nice if one of the devs responded to this thread and acknowledged that the drop rate is too low.

You can't buy this from NPC? I've thrown away so many of these.

Well a few suggestions, some true some rumored.
-go thief or /THF. Or, Beastmaster with ladybug. Or I think ranger has treasure hunter now.
-pick up wild rabbits tail, four leaf madragora leaf, and I'm forgetting other rare/ex.
-millionaires desk.
-train all the mobs that drop and kill together, or have a blackmagw do it for you.
-in Mhaura is an NPC, named Emily I think. She'll tell you your "lucky color" which I think means you lucky day/color. I think this works cause I get a ton of testimonies on blue/waters day.
-there also an NPC, in Port Windy that tell you roughly you luck rating on that day, but you need a partner. Another NPC, is located in Port Bastok(near restaurant) same deal. Also, in Lower Jeuno Chululu or NpC next to her will give you your fortunes.
-NPC, Wagid(blue Mage quest) in Whitegate will tell your fortune also.
-check wiki.

I'm sorry but you can't program "Luck"
Its all random number generation. nrand () type coding

My best finding is the gobs in valkrum train em up kill em wait 5 min repeat.

I went 1/52 on YYR so I understand the issue of where the heck is the item.
Also lost lot on RDM hat years ago to a lot of 3 figure that one out
0/2 on Joyuese
Or believe what I believe some days SE just says FU to you
If you keep trying for it in one push you'll burn out just take a break and go back.

they always seem to drop like mad in nw corner of the dunes just before secret beach north of valk emp nm area

i recently tried to get invis via drop"in Dangruf Wadi, Valkurm Dunes, Batallia Downs, Rolanberry Fields" and after a month i just decided to buy from the AH when one came up for sale

also i was using 60-WAR/30-THF

I'm having the very same issue. I've dropped everything on their drop list but Invisible...This needs to be fixed.

unless you have activly tried to farm this scroll recently, this topic seems like a joke. But if you have tried to farm it recently, you realize how annoyingly hard it is.

I was trying to help a new person farm the scroll the other week. Was out their on my thf with TH6 (equip cap at the time) for a few hours killing mobs that drop them. And not one ever dropped. And its reflected in AH prices. At the time they were up to almost 100k a scroll 0.o

While an absolutly vital spell for any mage, it still is a basic and low level spell. And with fewer people in the begining zones leveling now, the drop rate rly should be adjsuted. Your not going to keep new players interested when they have to spend an eternity farming a single basic spell like that. Or farming enough gill as a beginner to satisfy the greed of the older players.

it's always been a low drop rate and expensive on the AH

And ^ that is very true. Invis has not always been that expencive on AH zerich. It was only a few years ago that most people tossed out their invis scrolls that dropped because ah prices on it were so low, and it was always flodded with this spell.

Why didint you stop at i dont know when you killed around 100? lol
