Do they drop?

I've vanquished about 50 areas total....and still played the game WAY MORE than that. Solo..groups..PUGs etc.....doesn't matter I've NEVER seen 1 drop.

There's nothing on Wiki etc about drop rates or where they fall...

Kinda wondering though cause I've seen people selling them for anywhere between 2-5k.

I just think the drop rate must be low or I'm in the wrong area...cause I've had at least 30 elite tomes drop for me.

Any clues about the scrolls would be nice to have...do you have to be in FoW or UW to get them?

they drop from ANY boss in HM... low percentage chance of course.

I got several UW scrolls the first weekend hard mode was out. Otherwise, I haven't seen any since. They may have altered the drop rate a little bit? I have no idea.

I've killed over 100 bosses in Hard Mode and never seen a one. More useless Tomes than I know what to do with, though.

They drop from HardMode bosses but they are rare. It's hard to sell them and even harder to buy one when needed. Rare Scroll Trader NPC recognizes them as rare scrolls but 'refuses to buy this item' so it may be bugged.

I've gotten 3 FoW and 1 UW scroll from solo farming HM bosses in Cantha. But probably like ~200 runs

Quite difficult to sell them...maybe I should visit Japan or Taiwan. Huge market for these over there i'm guessing in no-favor land

Allowing the scroll trader to deal in the passage scrolls should make them easier to sell.

Same with me, I've never had 1 drop, but I've got people in my alliance that get 1 almost every day. It's just the luck of the draw.

Of course they drop, otherwise how else would they even exist?

I have gotten a few and have seen several guildmates get a few.

I've got two with my necro when he was farming the stone elemental bosses in Old Ascalon, one for FoW and the other for UW

But they dropped over around 10 or so runs (before I moved onto minotaurs)

I have been all over in the game. Doing solo runs and vanquishing (all of elona) i have now gotten 21 fow scrolls and 28 uw scrolls. They drop just gotta be consistant. I dont know if it has anything to do with it or not but, i have gotten most of my scrolls between 8pm est and 10 pm est time.

Might help might not but they do drop.

Since HM came out, I've vanquished over 2 dozen areas in Tyria and have completed 24 of 25 mish's there (GD Aurora Glade!!) and just yesterday I saw my first FOW/UW scroll drop from a boss in the divinity coast mish.

I too was wondering where they dropped thinking that maybe they only dropped in FOW/UW. Obviously they need to increase the drop rate on these things. I'd rather see more scrolls and tomes drop than those crap golds with dmg +19% against tengu mods.

All you people saying you've never seen one drop... were you playing with Heros or People?

Because then they probablly were dropping just to your heros (and thus like green farming, you'd never see the items). You'd have to play with a full party of guildies/other players to really see how often they drop.

I think I killed Zehnelun over a million times now :P

And not 1 passage scroll, and not 1 green either.
In the beginning, I got 2 scrolls of slayers Insight, but after that, I got nothing 90% of the time, or just a spider web.

I got one off a boss somewhere in low-level Tyria the first weekend. None since, though Vanquished around 30 zones in Elona since. Also no Elite Tomes, no Greens. Did I mention no Elite Tomes. Yeah. Not one.

randomness on everything ftl sometimes

come to think of it, I have found exactly none greens in Elona, ever.
