Strategies:
All
Stuffcode scrolls are useful because they can be overwritten. If you are
not collecting Stuffcode and come across one, the nice thing to do is put it
up on auction for someone who wants it.
It could be argued, but I would say the most important scroll is blessing.
With it you can really leverage the power of all other stuffcode, and without
it you are often hamstrung. When you find a scroll of blessing, you should
take it to an oracle and "identify blessing status".
If your blessing is cursed, hang onto it, it will still be useful later.
If your blessing is blessed, so are you! However you should still hang onto
it until you find a second blessing scroll (status unimportant) so that when
you read your blessed scroll, you will have a new blessed blessing in reserve.
If your blessing is uncursed, don't waste it by using it to bless a single
item. Find a second blessing scroll. If the second is not blessed, you can
use your first blessing to bless it.
Say you find 2 blessing scrolls that are both cursed? Now having an uncursed
(or blessed) remove curse scroll becomes important, so that you can uncurse
one of them and use that one to bless the other. (You could also have a mageslayer disenchant to remove the curse, but there is a chance that will destroy the scroll so it's not recommended.)
The other scroll in contention for "most important" is Stuff creation. With
it, you can create any item. The state will be random, so you will need to
identify or bless whatever you create. These scrolls are very rare, and most
often found by using a blessed scroll of Stuff location.
Once you have a couple blessed blessings and a creation. What to create?
#1 - a
pen (magic marker)
#2 - a
pycc (Platinum Yendorian Chextra Card)
#3 - a scroll of blessing (if needed to bless your marker)
#4 - a
ring of gain stat
#5 - an
amulet of healing, salvation or agility
#6 -
potions of mutation or experience
Other Scrolls:
There are other scrolls on the mud which are not Stuffcode, and do not follow the same rules.
Chaos / Spellcaster Scrolls:
Scrolls found in Chaos and the Spellcaster guild can be scribed onto a blank scroll with sufficient skill. (no magic marker needed)
a scroll of great healing
a scroll of plague of rats
a scroll of reverse damage
Kanori Scrolls:
Scrolls in Kanori appear as 'a scroll' unless you have sufficient language skill to read them, or identify them at an oracle.
Kanori has its own set of languages that can be studied at various locations throughout Kanori.
Kanori scrolls will tell you the level of wizard which created them in the long description.
This does not correspond to your skill level, but does give you a sense of how powerful the spell is.
More powerful spells have higher Int and language requirements to cast, and spellcasters and those with higher stats will have a greater chance of casting succesfully.
Kanori spells - a scroll of...
destruction
(can backfire and kill you, don't use!)
disintegration
(only answers to disintegrate)
