Alternative methods to obtain Geomancer scrolls.

[Merton9999]

I'd prefer something alittle bit more thematic. Much like acquiring GEO, I'd rather go to a ??? and pop and appropriate NM elemental type to kill. Not for all the spells but some of them. The drop would include a geo-scroll

Alternatively, an certain % of "knowledge" can be gain during weather effects and/or enviorments. Killing X amont of mobs or buffin X amount of times during storms can unlocking level appropriate spells and spelltypes.

For example, accuracy (is lightening based). During lightening storms...casting "lightening type" spells increase the % rating.

A final alternate method is the "caring method". Feeding a Lupons either crystals, feedwell orbs(synergy items), or the trial items(can't think of them atm)...gains a certain affinity. Think affinity level. Each elemental affinity level can coincide with the level of the spell. Example. a lvl 5 spells require you feed Lupon to affinity level 5.
As an aside. Affinity level could have an affect on the effect of the lupons spell directly.

just ideas I'll pullling from my butt.

I had imagined stuff like this too. At least they went part of the way with the GEO spells. The acquisition is simpler than what you've suggested, but at least the trips take me to more obscure parts of some zones. And the little skill up opportunity is a cute touch.

I'm glad to see the spells are dropping in Skirmish. imo SE handled this well. People can still obtain the scrolls, or sell them, but without the 5 million price tag that accompanied the BLM 76+ scrolls in their first few months, due to the NPCs providing caps. I wouldn't complain if the NPC prices came down, but overall this seems fine to me.
