The very mention of that scroll now brings physical pain! :(

I'm looking for tips on how to farm it if anyone can provide them.

I've been farming it for weeks now, spent over 20 hours in one week before just farming that scroll - thats alot more time than I'm used to putting in for PvE nowadays, and yet it still hasn't dropped.

I'm seriously contemplating saving up to pay for the CM price of 25/35p for the thing, that will be the most I've ever spent on anything ingame I think.

So any help much appreciated. I've been farming Cyclopses so far, agrotes and huleros mainly, as stated on VoS and camelot allahkazam. However after atleast 72 hours of farming over the past few weeks I've still not managed it.

I've tried several limited journeys into Arbour Glen for purple con cyclopses, however the rate that these things go down is much slower, and they're not listed as mobs that will drop these scrolls on vos or allahkazam.

I've read several VN threads on this subject, and I'm still no closer to feeling like I'm headed in the right direction.

Anyone who knows me will beable to tell you that I hate PvE at the best of times, so this is becoming a real pain.

All help much appreciated! :)

Don't farm the scroll itself mate ... If you're out to get something specific the last thing you want to do is farming it directly.

Farm money and use that to buy the scroll .. in 20 hours you could have earned 100 plat farming DV.. you're a pala ... invite an icewiz and a cleric .. maybe bring a bot and you can make very easy money farming for MT3 and SoM3 for example. Or bring 2 or 3 more mates and kill Flames a couple of times for the shields that still sell nicely.

Funny (I don't think you'll agree) ontopic anecdote... last week we were farming Cyclops with the guild... we were on our way back to the haven and we were killing the friendly cyclops close to the haven ... all of a sudden I said on Vent "Mark my words this one is gonna drop a lovestory scroll" .. 10 seconds later it died and it dropped a LS3 .. a guildy activated the artifact 15 minutes later :)

Try the cyclopse camp at the very NE corner of the GG map...

Spend the first day of farming Love 3 at the usualy place, second day I went to NE corner camp (where the Cloudsong music box statues are) and got 2 of em in 30 minutes...

A guildie got 2 of em in roughly 30 min there too.

Might be worth checking out

I've spent hundreds of hours farming scrolls
but as soon as they released notes on 1.81 I couldn't bring myself to do it any more.
Same with the other artis I want.
I realize this isn't as helpful as previous suggestions.
But at least we know it'll get easier :)

When is 1.81 actually comming? im rly tempted to transfer some money to alb and start with a reaver, but i don't fancy paying 30p for LS 3o3, at this very moment.

And yes LS 3o3 is very annoying to get. I spent a week farming for it roughly 8 hours a day in my holiday, and no drop, but i got 4 CS 3o3, and loads of other cloudsong and love story scrolls.

The thing that annoyed me, is a mid/excal person ended up farming at the same camp i was, and being a nice person i didn't say anything, as it was quite a big camp area in green glades, and about 30 minutes later i got a pm saying two LS 3o3's just drop from a mob he killed.

Im like that son of a ...................

9 times out of 10 thats just bullshit designed to annoy you, you get it on VN boards all the time, asking about a scroll, then the first 4-5 replies will be "I got gov 3o3 on the first mob i killed!", or words to that effect.

No idea why people do it though :touch:

So because one person out of the hundreds who comes to FH to whine about a scroll, he should be given it cheaper than everyone else? :eek:

Just hand in there for love patch. I soloed red con cyclops with my unsced lvl 49 runemaster and got like 5 in half an our. Love story 3o3 is has the highest drop rate in the game after that patch.

LS 2o3 will be rarer

I've never had any problems getting that scroll Kalloth : ( Farmed 'em myself for my Infiltrator, Reaver and Cabalist. Guess you've just been very very unlucky. I usually farm the centaur camps with my servant necro (using summon suit) and fop bot with DI2.
