I've heard that aswell. Even though scroll drop rates will increase and more mobs will drop them, I've heard that GoV 3 scrolls go for 60p in US

well, on paper it should be... but in pratice its not. It works like this: Any mob of a given type (Cyclops as example) after a given lvl has a chance to drop any scroll for an artifact. This means you can't farm ls3 but you can chain kill some mobs hoping for them to drop it, they will have a chance to drop 1,2 and 3 so its not easier.

If you look at this way, Each mob over a given level will have a chance to Drop ANY scroll from that Area, so say a Mob just dropped GOV scrolls, each time it dropped a scroll it will be a GOV scroll, but now they drop all scrolls, each time it gets its "random" chance to drop a scroll. It will have a "random" chance to drop any Scroll, rather than just the one.

If you follow me? The reason why people say it is easier is becuase you can just Chain Kill, rather than moving to different areas for certain mobs. That and there will be more groups for wider scrolls rather than say just a "GOV scroll farming group"

if you read last fridays grab bag

Q : I've been farming Love Story Scrolls by killing Centaurs. I've noticed that some scrolls are very common, i.e. Floppish Sleeves Scrolls. With the newer system of mobs having a chance of dropping all scrolls for a region, is the chance for a mob to drop a scroll equal across the board? I've noticed several "common" 1/3 scrolls that drop all the time and very few of the more in demand 3/3 scrolls.

A: Our Content Queen and our Content Goddess conferred, and gave me this reply: "Typically, the system works like thus:

"Page 1 of 3 scrolls have a higher chance to drop than Page 2 of 3 scrolls. Page 2 of 3 scrolls have a higher chance to drop than Page 3 of 3 scrolls.

"A Page 1 of 3 scroll has the same chance to drop as any other Page 1 of 3 scroll. The same rule applies for Page 2 of 3 and Page 3 of 3 scrolls. (For example, Love Story 3 of 3 has the same chance to drop as Foppish Sleeves 3 of 3).

"In general, since Page 3 scrolls have a lower chance to drop than Page 1's or Page 2's, you will see more of the Page 1's and 2's than you will see Page 3's."

hang on.. that dont make sense. 1/3 is gonna drop more often than 2/3 and 3/3 rarer still? so regarding shades 1/3 is gonna drop more often than 2/3.. and thus making 2/3 worth more cash than 1/3? erm..
