Inscription Question

My inscription is stuck at 60. I did not choose the quest path with this mage.

Magery and meditation are both at 100 and eval is at 51.2.

 

Is inscription tied to another skill? Is there something I need to do to move past 60?

Did you try doing BODs?

Keep casting spells or use eval on NPCs to raise eval.

Have use the skill to get gains using that method.

Thanks. Yes, I tried BODs and it didn't raise beyond 60. When it stopped at 60 my eval was in the low 40's. I can try raising it more this evening and see if that helps. 

Well I raised my evaluate intelligence to 59.6, then got a 1 point increase and it got stuck at 60.6. My inscription will not increase past 60 and eval won’t go past 60.6. I have plenty of available skill points. 

my character is on the divergent path. I shouldn’t need quests, correct? Is there something I need to do to move past this or is there a glitch in my character.

I requested a GM in game, but waited around 1.5 hours without a response. I had to log out.

Does anyone know why this is happening?

A GM will have to take a look at your character in game, I do apologize if the GM was unable to see you at that time. I know they're quite busy as of late.

Thank you both.

Unfortunately it was pointless. I finally got a GM to look at my character and they couldn’t find anything wrong. I got a nonsense response of keep training because gains slow down. If it hasn’t changed in a week, page again. I guess making close to a 100 recall scrolls, plus many others, without a single gain is normal. Spending hours casting spells on monsters isn’t enough.

my character is glitched and I’m not deleting this one and doing it over again to maybe have it glitch too. This is ridiculous. I’m not able to do what I want to do with it now.

I understand it to be you must do damage on a monster that dies to gain ?

See if you are making the right spells for your level.

• 30 - 55: Make 4th Circle Scrolls.
• 55 - 65: Make 5th Circle Scrolls.
• 65 - 85: Make 6th Circle Scrolls.
• 85 - 94: Make 7th Circle Scrolls.
• 94 - 100: Make 8th Circle Scrolls.

I decided to hunt something a bit tougher so I hunted some water elementals and sea serpents. I killed a few and got two skill gains on inscription, which was the first time that ever happened for me. Then the gains stopped. Nothing on eval int.

The highest circle scrolls I can do is four. I need seventy skill points to make fifth circle scrolls. I tried doing more recall scrolls and no gains. 

Everyone, thanks for the suggestions!

@kyronix Any updates on why inscripton wont go past 60.0 via scribing spells and the gains are almost non-existent otherwise on the Divergent path?

I have a bit of an update. I decided to add a few more skills thinking that might affect my character’s problem. I went to add Resisting Spells and found the Advanced Skill Trainer to do it. The text said it would be 10k in gold, I would get 50 in skill points, but I had to first see another character before I could get the skill. That character gave me a quest path. I had to kill 20 magical creatures to get 10 skill points in Resisting Spells. I did this over and over again until I reached 100. I went back to the original trainer and she said she had nothing for me. I’m on the divergent path and I had to do a quest. Figure that out.

I decided to add focus for faster mana regeneration. That went as expected. I paid 10k in gold, got 50 points and it raised naturally to 100.

As far as my inscription, I’ve made a lot of scrolls at my max level and some lower. I’ve done some BODS, no gains there. I tried killing some drakes and deamons, no gains. I did get a couple gains while clearing out the graveyards to complete the Resisting Spells quests, and I used my summoned deamon for that. I have had ZERO eval intelligence gains.

I would really like someone to give me a straight answer as to whether or not you can increase inscription through making scrolls after 60. This is getting ridiculous, and I can’t do what I want with my character.

I have the same issue as everyone else. I can't gain the skill above 60. I started my character as a ranger with archery and that training went perfect. Then I took Inscription to use the rest of the available skill points. I worked the skill up to 60 making scrolls and there were no issues. Then it stopped. I am thinking this is a bug that they are not willing to address. The reason I say that is it was the same way when we were doing the bata testing. It was reported then and nothing was done.
I hope someone will address this soon so I can complete my character.

Thank you for confirming that this is a problem. They really need to fix this and stop pretending it's not a problem and we are doing something wrong.

I created a free account to test this. I haven't had a chance to bring the inscription up to 60 yet, but I watched, and I did not get a single experience gain on inscription while raising the other skills. I'm wondering if the code for inscription on the divergent path is still set for quests when it hits 60. I think someone forgot something.

Well, my divergent path mage is still stuck at 60 inscription. anyone else figure out how to get it to gain past this yet?

as per @Pawain 's suggestio, here is a guide my newly discovered method for gaining inscription.
1) punch a goat
2) punch a dog
3) punch a Llama
4) rinse and repeat. 
5) punch a walrus

I decided to gain wrasslin today and went to a spot with lot's of creatures and starting punching, kept getting scribe gains mixed in. Punching animals gains scribe, Who knew??

**Edited to Add Punch a Walrus to the list**

So you are the egg man?

The second part to my guide will be the best way to gain eval Int post 60.0 skill on the divergent path. Punch all the above while using eval int on them. I made a macro in the ec. Drop the Eval Int skill in the macro use current target with a 1.5 sec delay. fastest way i have gained it since hitting 60.0 just casting spells to kill things gives me a gain about every 15 mobs. doing it this way gives me a gain about every mob. Note: i have stopped getting inscription gains simply punching the above.

So your saying that you have to be smarter than the goat to get gains.  Great Guide!

And some laugh when we tell someone to eat an apple and spin in 20 circles to remedy a bug.

All kidding aside, i am stuck at 61.4 inscription and can find no way to gain. it has completely stopped no matter what i am doing. @Kyronix any advice?

Still stuck. Serious question, has anyone gotten inscription to 100 on the divergent path?

@Victim_Of_Siege

Wish I could help. Don't like to see these questions and issues go without acknowledgement,  Is that the only skill arrowed up?  Is it possible skill points are going to a different skill when receiving a gain?

I'm sure you thought of this, simply wanted to acknowledge your issue.  Gook luck.

They will fix this right after farming for garlic or mandrake root.

Hmm, I haven’t tried punching garlic yet 

Punching Garlic did not help, Asking again, has anyone GM'd Inscription on the Divergent path? 

I still have this Divergent character stuck at 62.2 inscription and haven't gotten a gain since last Thursday. All other skills are GM and I really cannot do anything with this character until that inscription is 100.0 @Kyronix any idea about why my inscription is stuck?  Let me know please.

@Community Manager  can you nudge someone about this before he skins a Llama.

I would recommend taking a peek at what Mariah has posted about gaining skills for Inscription on New Legacy: https://uo.com/wiki/ultima-online-wiki/new-legacy-an-overview/new-legacy-crafting/new-legacy-skills-inscription/.
Beyond that, if you feel it's a bigger issue, you can always page a GM (providing you have not done so already) to take a peek.

I appreciate the post, but I have tried scribing hunreds of spellbooks and 4th circle scrolls to no avail. I have submitted a bug report so we can only hope that @Kyronix or another DEV will be able to sort it out. *goes to punch and then skin a llama*

Oh and @Mariah, the guide needs to be updated to reflect that Spellbooks only require 30 Inscription on NL 

I'm pretty sure that u still can gain while fighting, I was able to gain like 3-5% per orc champion by just casting spells, but pattern unknown, didn't test inscription properly. I understand why we have 2 slots limit but for this state of game we better have more slots so we can test better and more builds and later we can lower amount, but now to make proper feedback I have to buy second account to make tests, don't tell me try it on ej, I can't handle this bs bank.

I was getting gains on champs and bosses until i GM'd all the other skills. I've read every guide i could find, asked in general, twirled a cat by it's tail over a stump at midnight after eating food, punched a goat, llama, etc, you name it I've tried it. it stopped gaining at 62.2% and will not budge, Points available are 257.8 and everything is turned up. And I have yet to find anyone that has GM'd it on the Divergent path. I wouldn't care except for i apparently cannot add any skills until I "finish" this character. I made this to test the divergent path and ensure it was working, guess we know now lol.

Thanks, I'll update that. Some crafting requirements changed after beta, I must have missed that one.

You're welcome. I do appreciate all the work you put into that. You're "Pages" have always been beneficial to me and others.

So I've started gaining again, albeit slowly. I can get gains by killing the Ice Fiends with spells. getting a gain about every 20 Fiends. Seems a bit slow but i think the gain is tied to the Fame of the Creature. @Kyronix, any possibility of tweaking the gains a little bit?  

After 4 days I have gotten another gain, I'm up to 65.8. at this rate I should be gm by March-ish.  

I've got it nailed, it's about 18-24 Ice Fiends or Daemons and you'll get either a 0.2 or 1.0 gain in inscription for killing it with spells. so to sum up my guide

1. from 0-60 scribe scrolls
2. From 60-64-ish Punch Goats, Rabbits, Walrus's, Lamas, Hogs, Dogs and Old Gnus
3. 64-ish to GM (?) kill Ice Fiends and Daemons with spells. I'll update if i have to adjust what I kill at some point.

@Victim: Since you mentioned adding Poisoning to your Mage, I want to give you a heads-up that the same is happening with Poison skill (~61.4). I believe the "skill check" mechanics are not set correctly for either the Inscription or Poison skill. Waiting for a Developer to Comment...

Thanks for the heads up. 

We are closing in on a couple of months since I created this Divergent path character, and the Inscription skill is still below 80. I play it 8-10 hours a week and it is still not complete. @Kyronix will you please take a look at the skill gain on this. it is starting to get frustrating at best. Poisoning appears to be the same on divergent path. I am unable to make this a Nox mage, Mage Tamer, or anything else until I finish inscription. 

well, I finally made it to 80.

Week later and I'm at 84.4 and this is after doing 76 bosses, 26 champ spawns, couple dozen or so Orc champs and Lord knows how many guild quests (yes I took time off of work). I really feel that the amount of time i have played this character in the past 6 days, that I should have gm'd it by now. 

I'm up to 86.0 from 84.4 and it only took 9 days, Woohoo!! seriously though, i have been stuck at 86.0 for about a week with no gains. not sure what to try next.

You must fish for red snook on baja and then give them all to me

*tries to remember how to log into a prodo shard*

If you would have inscribed the instructions you wouldn't have to remember 

1 Week later, getting closer.

Saw some gain this week, but early on. I have been stuck at 94 since Tuesday. 

I can smell it . . .

Dang thats takin a sec.. but look at you go..  <span>🙂</span>

So, I have finally reached it, i have GM'd inscription on the divergent path. My problem now is this, where do i go to add things like Bard skills, or poison? I have been to the trainers for these skills and they offer no way to begin training the skills. I even went to the zoo and other places to see if I could begin that with no luck. @Kyronix (or anyone that knows) how do i begin say Poison or bard on Divergent path?



**PS, Told y'all i was stubborn and would finish it no matter the time it took. Heheheh

Congrats!  Have you tried the npc GM at Lord British's Conservatory?  I was able to pay 10k to learn/train Discordance there.  Once you get the 50 skill you need to buy some instruments from the trader there.  I raised the skill to 100 just by playing an instrument over and over (like you train  Music on production shards).  Once you GM it you can go back and buy the Book of Songs from the GM so you can add the Discord Scrolls (Despair and Tribulation) provided you have the scrolls.

Thank you, i haven't found anyone at the conservatory that would train me in anything yet. I'll go look again.

**Edit** no one in the conservatory gives me the option to pay them money to learn or offers training. This is what the advanced skill trainer (Bardic Collegium) says when I click on him. *wonders if he has broken yet another character*

Still no luck for anything relating to thieving or taming. I have the options for melee skills,  resistance and focus but that’s all I have found. Anyone have any thoughts?

I'll ask a silly question. You haven't locked any skills have you?

Mariah said:

No ma'am

I suppose i need to know where and exactly who i need to train the to train the bard skills from as a divergent path character. none of the advanced trainers offer me anything except the Ranger and the mage ones. I get offered resist and and Focus from the mage and all the melee skills and tracking from the Ranger. The rest say I have learned all i can from them and that they can offer me a refresher if my skill has fallen below 50, for a fee of course. But that option isn't available either there's just Dialogue. @Kyronix?

Okay, I have figured it out. To be able to learn Tamer, Bard, Thief skills, get house, etc. you have to do these two things on the Divergent Path: Obtain 600 skill points and do the Orc champ quest line. I had done the quest line but only had 500 skill points. I was unable to get certain Foe quests (solen and CD for exaple) and then i wasn't able to place a house no option, and just happened to go check the registrar and in her dialogue she mentioned this specifically said "you must obtain 600 skill points and defeat the Orc champion" Pays to read thoroughly i suppose. anyway, I can now make my Divergent path character whatever i want as all skills are available. @Mariah if this hasn't been put in the WiKi for NL, you may want to save someone the frustration i have faced since Finishing Inscription (which was just as frustrating lol)   

Going to play this template for a bit, has a full set of slayers.

Can you drop focus and add resistance?  

Grimbeard said:

Can you drop focus and add resistance?  

I could but the mana regen i get from focus and Med are better than Med alone and I can cast more spells on Bosses and heals on fellow players before needing to actively meditate with Focus on.

below is the exact message. what it doesn't say is that it also unlocks access to the Bard/Tamer/Thief skills, basically any skill available to a divergent path character other than melee/mage

I have edited a couple of pages, (houses and advanced skill trainers) and created a new character in order to make a page for divergent path - should be live in around an hour.
