The minimum magery required will be approx. 15 higher than the minimum inscription needed. At 90 Magery, you'll be able to inscribe all spells.

Is that 90 displayed or real?

Displayed. I can confirm 80.1 is the requirement for 8th circle.

What's the success rate on level 6-8 scrolls? Is it always somewhat low? I'm at nearly 75 inscription and still fail Ebolt quite a bit. Does magery factor into success rate or just the abiliity to create the scroll?

Magery doesn't affect your success rate just the ability to inscribe the scroll. You should have around a 45% success rate for 6th circle spells at 75 inscription.

just a quick question. wouldn't it be more cost effective for lightning instead of recall from 50-60?

Players will generally buy up recall scrolls though, and for more gp than vendors; vendors will only buy so many of your Lightning scrolls before they refuse to buy more.

Taking this into account, you'll get more money back from Recall scrolls than Lightning scrolls, even factoring in the increased reagent cost.

true but I have been trying to sell them. seems as though without a vendor its hard to sell them

here are my numbers if anyone wants to use them to update the wiki.

used spell before after successes
200 recall 50.0 51.7 131
200 recall 51.7 53.4 140
200 recall 53.4 54.1 135
200 recall 54.1 55.1 153
200 recall 55.1 56.9 159
200 recall 56.9 58.1 165
200 recall 58.1 59.8 169
9 recall 59.8 60.0 7

Thank you for the information here.

In an attempt to help others, I would like to confirm and clarify that the macro will hang at the menu prompt if you attempt to use type "blank scroll". You actually have to target a pair of blank scrolls in your backpack every time you initiate this macro from scratch. I know it's a pain, and I don't know why it behaves like this.

Anyway, here is my amended macro which will attempt 4 times to meditate at the end, and uses a container in your house, or bank, as you prefer. I've used restock agent 2 which loads minimal regs for this task because restock agent 1 is my main one for recalling about and so on where I need a lot more than a couple of reagents.

You limit the number of iterations by limiting the number of blank scrolls that you put in your reagent container (and/or the quantity of reagents, but I just drop 100 blanks or whatever into my house's main reagent store).

I am posting the macro in both formats; Razor window and Razor raw code so you can re-create it easily. My comments are in [square brackets]. You will need to retarget your blank scrolls and finished scroll pile every time you set up this macro. It's fairly easy to modify this for other spells by changing the menu numbers for circle and spell and also the name of the scroll that you drag out into your completed scroll container. For example I have a container for each spell circle and this macro can be set up to put scrolls into the correct container. Takes a bit of setting up, but convenient when you are done.

Here we go:

If (Mana>=70) [Change this to reflect the meditation skill you have and the mana level needed for you to gain med]
Exec: Restock Agent-2
Absolute Target [target your reagent stock in bank or house container]
Pause 3.50sec
UseSkill Inscription
Wait for Target
Absolute Target [Target blank scroll. Need to retarget this every time you set up. Cannot use type "blank scroll"]
Wait for Menu (Any) [If you try to use type "blank scroll", the macro will hang here.
Pause .50sec
MenuResponse 6 [Select spell circle]
Wait for Menu (Any)
Pause .50sec
MenuResponse 2 [Select Spell]
Pause 7.35sec
End If
If (SysMessage "you inscribe") [Success!]
Lift Enerfg Bolt Scroll (1F56) -1
Drop to 0x40B82E10 (@(21, 138, 0)) [Need to retarget this every time you set up. It's the pile of completed scrolls in your bank/container]
Pause 1.15sec
End If
For (1 to 4) [try to meditate 4 times in case of failure]
If (Mana <=70) [Make this the same mana used above]
UseSkill Meditation
Pause 10.15sec
If (SysMessage "trance") [Success!]
Wait for Mana>=70 [Again, make this the same as mana used at start for max med skill gain]
End If
End If
End For


And here is the raw code version. Copy and paste this into a text file in your Razor macro folder and rename the extension from ".txt" to ".macro" and you can then just load it with Razor:

Yes it should.

I usually make a few hundred recall scrolls anyways because I use them with all of my mules.
