Hello,


       Ahhhh, the mighty power scroll. A highly sought after item either from a fel champ spawn or vendor. Yet, what if, neither of these two options are a possibility for you? Then basically you are S.O.L.  What if this could be changed? I would like to make a suggestion about power scroll gathering. As stated, they drop only from the fel champ spawns ranging from 105 to 120. My idea would be to keep fel the way it is operating now yet adding a degree to the trammel side. Would it be possible having 105 and 110 drop from the trammel side champ spawns? This would still keep with the theme of greater risk greater reward from tram vs fel. This would allow those players who can not preform in fel a chance at getting some scrolls. If you wanted 115 or 120 you would still have to do fel or buy from a vendor.

I wouldn't mind this idea. it would also help new players get started, but you would have to have the spawn easier to do.
And you could turn in the 105 and 110 scrolls in and get the 115 and 120 scrolls.

My first reaction was #$%@ that. But it actually grew on me. i dont think there would be any harm in this. Honestly myself and a lot of other people throw the 105' and 110's on the ground in Brit or in the barrel for a meager amount of PS tokens. So i cant see this affecting the PS market in a negative way. I like how it will create a seperate market for new players between themselves.   


Another PS idea that everyone will probably hate is i think we should have to eat PS in order. 105-120. adds tons of value to the lower end ones.

I don't like the idea of having to eat them in order because of the way the champ system is set up here. It would be a different story if you could use valor to start a spawn, but as it sits now you have to wait 4 hours (I think) before the spawn restarts.

Yeah I figured there would be some of that reaction. Don't get me wrong I use to enjoy PVP on OSI but I can't anymore. I have found that the combination of events like that and the medication I take from the VA are a violate mix. I do not mind buying the 120's but I overheard some negative conversation about those that get and those that buy. Figured this could help easy that a little and of course help the new player base that seems to be rolling in.

I like the original idea a lot. I was just saying about eating the scrolls in order because of how they have the spawn system set up.
I hope to see this idea put in place. I would have no problems helping new players do that type of spawn and I would give them the scrolls I got if any. But I most likely wouldn't hit the boss unless I saw that they wouldn't be able to kill it.
And I'm sure there are quite a few other players out there that would do the same thing.

oddly I was thinking about this while driving to work today.  As I have recently started to play with scripting I have a huge range of mob ideas and a huge range of drop ideas.  Basically attempting to add some randomness to pvm (maybe some challenge as well).


One of the drop ideas I had for the boss mobs was a chance at a power scroll drop.  It is something that would have to be seriously considered by Dante and Kyn but I have ideas.


The fel champs being the main interface for power scrolls has always kind of ticked me off in UO but that was the carrot put out there to try and encourage pvp from a group that may not like the pvp element of MMOs.  I have played enough MMOs over the last 13 years to have seen that idea come from numerous different dev staffs.


I agree some things could and probably should be changed.  The problem is how and what.
