Scribing updates?

Oceanchanter · December 19

I've been wondering if there are any plans on expanding the Scribing system, or is it set in stone.
While I don't expect Focus, Affix, and Suffix to expand (Focus being expanded onto skills that miss them, with new visuals), it would be nice to have more spells to scribe.

Should I abandon all hope of that happening or is this something you can reasonably look forward to?

I'm pretty sure they will add new Scribing skills, just like they've added new Mythics and ToT Decks. When and how many get added at a time though is up to ZOS to decide.

They just added a new scribing skill (banner bearer) in the last major update so I'd expect they will continue to add more in the future.

Oh, I didnt know about the banner. I bought Golden Road maybe at the end of November.

How about we just speed up the use of scribing. It takes too long to cast those skills. I don't even mess with them because it takes forever to use.

I believe they also said that they would add additional similar systems in the future? I'd be down for Scribing 2, or for a different way to "craft" or customize skills.

I'd also be excited for customizable class skills, or extra class skill morphs (more than 2 options).

Only the staff is used for a long time, and in fact, casting for a long time has a good effect. This dilutes the gameplay.

I hope so, I'm loving how much flexibility it gives me to do like a ranged pyromancer dragonknight build. If I just had class skills, the only Ardent Flame ability with long range is 15m... And I love stone giant on the ranged build, I just can't use only it since it costs a lot of stamina and I'm a magicka build (really wish they would make stone giant cost less or at least be able to proc Helping Hands passive)..

Anyway, really hope they add skill styles for each grimoire too!

Scribing will be regularly expanded. New grimoires will be added with base game updates, just like in U44.

The interesting part is, if they will add additional functionality.
I, for example, find it irritating, that I cannot change the ressource cost at will. This would be much better for finetuning sustain.
It would also kind of alleviate the other major restriction we face with certain grimoires not supporting certain affixes and signatures.
