Adoulin: Scrolls of Instant Protect

[OmnysValefor]

So I just noticed this scroll on the same vendor as the vendor for instant warp / rr.

I gambled 1000 bayld and popped one on my 99 paladin. It gave me 75 defense. The equivalent of a modern Protect 3.

Is this intentional? Protect 5 gives 175 defense (unmerited). Does the Shell scroll also give Tier 3~ magic protection?

Just a curiosity. Obviously not gamebreaking.

[Alhanelem]

1000 bayld is a bit high for protect III considering how easy the spell is to come by. The only way it would be useful to me is if the duration doesn't shorten when used on low level jobs.

Either way, why would it be fair for people to do level 99 content for a spell useable by level 50s? Needs to be upgraded to Protect V, and in all honesty, the price should be lowered, to more like 100 or so, 1k is to high for something so easy.

you get bayld in troves doing lair and colonization reives.... I suppose the reasoning imo is that well it's

1) an instant and uninterruptable spell
and
2) they don't want to devalue white mages going to events

just some thinking at least idm them but hey i will hardly use them as my main sub is whm

[Demon6324236]

I understand to a point, but at the same time the price for them makes it so I would never even think about using them, I don't do Reives enough to have the 1k to throw around whenever I need a Protect on my WAR.

[Umichi]

I do reives plenty enough to own 1k bayld... doing one to two imprint of almost any variety gives you 1k bayld also.

So your ok with doing level 99 content for a scroll that gives you the same effect as you can get from any person with a level 47~50 WHM/SCH/PLD/RDM?

If nothing else they should at least increase the potency, I would rather a decrease in cost as well because I feel for the spell it is, one which many different jobs get, and the fact others of its type like Reraise & Warp are so much cheaper, means it is way overpriced.

If you think that's bad, wait till you see the tinctures... 40k bayld

[Deifact]

The price should be reduced...

I'm guessing the idea was that it's a way for you to cast protect on yourself without having to use a mage subjob, and it does work to that degree. I don't think they should increase the tier, but just reduce the price, so it is more of a "well it's so cheap why not?" opposed to "give us scrolls of instant Cure V while you're at it!".

Instant scrolls should all be 100 (or is it 200?) of whatever currency (like instant-warp) simply for consistency. The Sanction boons are 100 too I think.
