Scrolls

There are different types of Scrolls in MapleStory, and not all scrolls are available to all versions of the game. The two most common types of scrolls are used for upgrading equipment and transportation. While transportation scrolls are quite few in number, they are often easy to obtain and will always succeed. Upgrading scrolls on the other hand are only sold in a few places or dropped from monsters, and the prices of these scrolls are often very high.

Upgrading scrolls are sometimes referred to as the lifeblood of MapleStory characters. Without them, the damage and stat potential of characters will be very low. Upgrading scrolls are the reason statless classes exist.

There are two types of scrolls. Within each type is multiple other extra types to go along with them, like the Percents of success or other things. They are split generally into two types:

Transportation

Return Scrolls

These scrolls are used to teleport quickly back to a town. They may not be used to teleport between continents. There are several different return scrolls. They are as follows:

• Return Scroll - Nearest Town
• Return Scroll to Dead Mine
• Return Scroll to Ellinia
• Return Scroll to Henesys
• Return Scroll to Kerning City
• Return Scroll to Lith Harbor
• Return Scroll to Perion
• Return Scroll to Sleepywood
• Return Scroll to New Leaf City

Miscellaneous

There are also a few items that can be used for teleportation but are not actually scrolls. They are Warp Capsules, Coupons, and Rock Scrolls. The different versions are as follows:

• Warp Capsule to Ludibrium
• Warp Capsule to Omega Sector
• Warp Card - From Nautilus Port to Omega Sector Command Center
• Dolphin Taxi Coupons - Received from Aqua Road quest - Kenta's Research 3
• Orbis Rock Scrolls - Transport you from statue to statue within Orbis Tower - Received from repeatable quest - Collecting Huckle's Magic Ingredients
• Eos Rock Scrolls - Transport you from Rock to Rock within Eos Tower - Received from repeatable quest - The Lost Guard

Upgrading Scrolls

These scrolls are used to upgrade your equipment with improved stats. They vary in what item they can be used on, what stats they will affect, and how big the chances are to succeed. The higher the chances to succeed, the lower the benefit of using the scroll. Although the 10% scrolls have a very low chance of actually improving your items, the benefits you get from a successful scroll makes these scrolls often very expensive to obtain.

Normal Scrolls

When a normal scroll fails to improve your item it will simply disappear from your inventory.

100% Scrolls

These are the least valuable of all scrolls. They are worth very little and have low effect on the equipment they are used on. Of course, since they never fail, they are good for a slight boost on lower level weapons. They are almost never worth above 70k, since NPCs sell most of them, averaging 50k. However if they are not sold by NPCs and they aren't Defense scrolls they could be worth a lot. An example is a 100% Scroll for Cape for Dex.

60% Scrolls

These scrolls tend to be the most commonly used and effective scrolls for weapons, armor and equipment. They tend to be highly valuable since they work more than half the time, and generally fetch about 1 - 4mil each depending on the type of scroll.

10% Scrolls

These scrolls are often valued at less than their 60% counterparts, as they rarely work but provide extremely high bonuses. For example, if you upgrade a Work Glove with 60% scrolls and they all worked, you'd create a 10 attack Work Glove worth about 20mil or so, depending on your server. However, if you did the same with 10% scrolls and they all worked, you'd make a 15 attack Work Glove, which would be valued at a few hundred mil.

Dark Scrolls

Dark Scrolls were created when a scroll was infused with dark power while being made to make it work more often. However, if the scroll fails when used, there's a 50% chance it will destroy what you used it on.

70% Scrolls

These are the dark counterparts to 60% scrolls. They tend to be worth the same or slightly less than the 60% ones, since the extra 10% doesn't usually make a big difference.

30% Scrolls

The most valuable dark scrolls to date. They provide the bonuses of 10% scrolls with an extra 20% chance of success. They are worth roughly 2 - 6mil depending on the type.

Other Scrolls

White Scrolls

White scrolls are the most valuable of scrolls, they are used to stop the loss of slots when used on an item. They are worth about 300mil each and are your best friend when using 10% scrolls. They are obtaimed from New Leaf City's Gachapon in Maple Global.

Clean slate scrolls

Scrolls that differ from 1 to 20% succes rate, giving an extra slot to the scrolled item. May only be used if there is atleast one slot left. These scrolls are in MapleGlobal yet. However the prices isn't too high as expected due of the destroying rate.

Chaos Scrolls

60% Chaos Scrolls have a 60% chance of changing a random stat on any equipment from -5 to +5. Upon failure it acts like a dark scroll, and has a 50% chance of destroying the equipment.

50% Scrolls

50% Scrolls are mysterious scrolls that work 50% of the time. It is not really known why they exist but they add +3 to stats versus the 60%'s +2, so they can be useful.

5% Scrolls

These are new Scrolls apparently in development. The sprite for it has been spotted in the newest updates within the patcher as of July, 2008. They are rumored to add +7 to stats and always destroy the item on failure.

GM Scrolls

These are strange new scrolls, only obtained from events and coming in 15, 45, and 65% varieties. They seemingly glow with a white Maple Leaf.
