Yea...thanks all. As I was running around IC after dusting off my MagBlade to get affix's (I still only have the Magicka one), I stopped and realized....this isn't fun running around doing all this stuff I wouldn't normally be doing over and over again. I mean....for expanding on the map and getting to the delves and other things for the first time if it was a brand new player sure, but I've been playing since 2016 off and on...so yea....scribing just seems like yet another ZoS move to keep me in game longer. Always a catch with ZoS

The problem is that you're not interested in Scribing.

Scripts, affix, prefix, chickenix, budgie, and llama all drop constantly from so many sources, and they're curated.

This is a literal case of play the game and you'll get everything you need.

@OsUfi Yea and that's....kind of the issue (but not just with ESO in this case I think).

If I were a brand new player...yea sure just play the game and things will come *eventually*. I've already played the game...like...a lot. The toon in question was going to be setup for just doing vet content.

It's fine though...seasons are coming....I won't be playing this game for much longer.

1 week. Tops. You can do it in 3 days with what? 30 minutes at most of dailies a day? Not even that if you're an end game player.

The weird thing that happened yesterday:
I opened a ROTW and got a focus script (as expected), it didn't say "already learned" so I consumed it on auto-pilot.
The weird part is that when I thought about it a minute later - that was the character that had gotten the achievement for learning all scripts back in July.
I don't know if it somehow reverted knowing that script, or if the game just let me consume it already knowing.

You folks realize that every week the obnoxious altmer vendor in the Scribing hall sells 3 or 4 different scritps, right? At least 1 of each type. 4k-12k a piece.

That's how khajiit got all 20 characters to have every script - cycles around pretty quickly.

You can also buy scripts for fortunes and tel var.

There's also some scripts just lying around the Mage's guilds.

I barely did any PvP and got everything quickly.
