Scripts are creating a storage emergency, PLEASE help now!

darvaria · July 21

We need a sticker book. No one wants to start vendoring scripts we may need on the next update or who knows we. We can not possible store all of those. And they really need to be available for all toons. We are much too far in this game to run around collecting scripts for 8-10 alts.

PLEASE do it now.

Why are you storing all those scripts? Learn them on your alts. I’m working on 19 characters — I don’t expect to learn all scripts on all of them, not for a long time at least, but focus on what I expect my be useful given the class, weapons, and role(s) of that character.

DenverRalphy · July 21

Learn them until you know them all, then just vendor. Those scripts aren't going to need to be re-learned after any kind of update.

darvaria · July 21

I'm not sure which ones will be needed rn.

Just learn them all maybe? No matter what changes learning them all doesn't hurt. I'm confused by what could be "needed' later. It's not like learning them precludes you from using them. Unless you're talking about using them on specific characters at which point you can curate ones that look useful.

ZOS constantly changes thing where they are/are not meta. I don't want to waste them.

Again, how does unlocking the knowledge so it's permanently available on a character wasteful?

It wouldn't matter what changes they make. Once your character has learned a script, it won't need another one again. Ever.

Are you under the impression that each time you scribe, you have to have the proper scripts available to plug into it like mats? Cuz that's not how it works. You learn it once, and you can scribe that script as often as you wish, into perpetuity.

I might have missed something but pretty sure all the scripts I’ve gotten are account bound. How do you vendor them? Maybe the ones you buy at the scholarium or IA vendor are not bound? Idk.

Bound doesn't stop you from selling to an npc vendor, just other players

I know it is a temporary problem that will eventually go away but it would be kind of nice if the scripts stacked.

Hmm. I’ll take a look, I was sure they were marked as not sellable to NPC vendor like treasure maps and other stuff. Hope I’m wrong.

SilverBride · July 21

I just do what others do and learn them. I have 7 characters and I only need a few more to have them all learned on all my characters. After that I will just sell the duplicates to a merchant with the rest of the junk I accumulate.

They all have a 3g or mostly 28g vendor value for me.

noblecron · July 21

Can just sell them too. I've sold double scripts before. No need to hold onto em at all

Now this would be nice though. I do agree.

TaSheen · July 21

The sell price is going up to 999 gold in the next update.

I just use the hand-me-down system that I have to use for furnishing plans and motifs on my toons, except that I prioritize the characters a bit differently (like I picked PvP toons first because my PvE toons are dps) and run them all through the banker.

Eventually all of them will know everything.

The scripts are not used up when you scribe a spell. They are like recipes. So learn them all on all characters, in whatever system of priority makes sense for you. Then however the meta changes, you will be prepared.

Would be nice if they stacked, that’s the only thing I’d like to see so I can hang on to duplicates until the vendor prices go up

I wouldn't hold my breath on the current ones being worth 999 when the patch hits. Since it's a fundamental change (level/value) I don't know if they'd do it retroactively.

Elvenheart · July 22

I have 11 chars. Right now 7 have learned every script and the last 4 are almost there. They may be done in another week. The script grind hasn’t been so bad, with them being curated and all. It’s given all my characters something only each one could do when it was their turn to do the script-giving dailies first that day to get the curated scripts they needed, and I’ve enjoyed that aspect. Now, we just need more ink! 🤣

You are absolutely right. I should have known that. I don’t know how many bound companion items I’ve sold to NPC vendor.

We didn't need ANOTHER set of recipes to stockpile and pass on, especially since you don't know who knows them (on other alts) on console.

I know there is an addon that tracks that but I just made a spreadsheet on a piece of paper and tracked mine that way.

Focus on the scripts that your character has skill lines for. Go to the Grimoire page in your "Skills" menu and click on the Grimoire for your current alts two weapon skills, Alliance skills and Guild skills and you'll see which scripts go with which grimoire.
