Yeah, as it stands right now it's very hard to utilize. I've done an incredible amount of grinding just to get one usable skill on one character. And that's only possible because I know exactly where I'm going with it having experimented with scribing on the pts. On the live servers players can't really experiment right now with the way the system is.

*those are account bound. just do the scribe quest on other character and you will have over 100+ ink. i think you get 12 ink by completing the quest per character and if you have 12-15 character you will have over 100+ ink. so much ink you wont even need to used because only a couple scribe skill are useful and the rest is just junk.*

I farmed nodes for about 30 mins or so (not telling you my spot) and i got about 6 or 7 inks. One thing to note that is they only start dropping from enemy once you do Indrik quest, and they only start dropping on harvesting nodes once you do the Netch quests.

I must add that I did have the green cp slot set-up to give 10% chance of double drop. Two of the ink drops i had were a quantity of 2, so I only actually had around 4 or 5 nodes that dropped ink. So yes it is rare but you do get them farming nodes. I don't think i've got any drops from defeated enemies yet, maybe there's a problem with that?

Thanks bud. Haha, and here I just vented on your other video about inks. I gotta say that I don't really want to run my alts through the entire or even first two quests for 3 inks. That makes my head hurt, lol. Ya, thanks ZOS you give us a system that bottlenecks so bad I doubt it will be utilized as much as they hope. ya I'm disappointed. Hope ZOS changes the drop rate cause it sucks. :(

Ever since I completed all the scribing quests I've had a total of one single ink drop after since the chapter release. I have nearly all the scripts and grimoires and I can't actually do anything else with them! Just let us fucking use gold or something! Fuck I'd even pay crowns!

I think the drop rate is broken. In game I was told it is a known issue and will be addressed in Monday's update (6/17/24). I think the drop rate should have at least a 30% drop rate chance since it is critical to the scribing ability. (Instead of awarding some of those potions for daily log ins, how about awarding a stack of inks? or a grimoire?)

I have played 60+ hours since launch and gotten 3 luminous ink. 2 from the new trial, 1 from looting urns in Necrom. I could have done the entire quest on 10 alts for that amount of time and been guaranteed 120 ink. Also, i find it unacceptable that there wasnt a hotfix for this within 24 hours of confirming the drop rates and sources were completely messed up. Scribing and this new system was the entire selling point for Gold Road, and the currency is so scarce that most players cant even afford to interact with it. Several days later, nothing other than "we're aware, we'll fix it soon."

I'm sitting on 13 ink total at the moment, and dare not even use them becuase I barely have a clue what might be good to even start testing out. I'm honestly just not gonna bother trying to get into scribing if just experimenting with it is going to remain this much of a pain in the ass grind-wise. This is absurd, and from the looks of it the options and benefits you get from these scribed skills seem somewhat underwhelming anyway -- certainly not a gamechanger. Really disappointing.

@@esovault270 Just seems to me like it's gonna be a classic case of the majority of a playerbase just waiting to see what the 'pros' say is the meta way, then everybody uses their inks to achieve that and then that's it. You'd think when the entire sales-pitch for scribing was that you can 'create your own spells, do your own thing', that the game would actually cater to that instead of effectively being the complete inverse.. Oh well. Cheers.
