    Default Are Epic Scrolls actually dropping since U8?

    First off, yes I know the game does an auto roll now and any player in the group will automatically get the scroll in their inventory.

    However I've done at least 3 epics since U8 (Tide Turns x 2, Wiz King) and neither me or any other player have gotten a scroll and there definately has not been any notification in the party chat saying someone got a scroll.

    In Epic Wiz King we usually get at least 2 scrolls per run up to around 8 to 10. Nothing at all this time, but we did get a higher amount of Seals this time around.

    Have the groups I've been in just been unlucky or no one has got an epic scroll since U8?

    They drop, at least on Ghallanda....I was told the other day that they actually drop in Zawabis Revenge on Epic as well after U8.

    Did you checket your loot channel?
    Message is something like that: "Vellrad was awarded with awesome reward, Scroll of The Big Top."

    Did some testing with scroll hunting in epic wizard king.

    Group consisted of me and my wife. We killed roughly 200 mobs in there, which amounted to 3 scrolls. So, on Sarlona anyway the drop rate of desert scrolls doesn't seem to have changed.

    Here is the thing though:
    I only got a notification for 1 scroll. The other two ended in my inventory but without any message whatsoever.

    Also had my wife double-check and she did not get any notification in any channel (not loot, not general, not party or anywhere).

    Now, to be fair the second scroll that dropped could have gotten lost in spam (on my wife's end, on mine - the end which got the scroll there was definitely no notification). I kept checking my inventory regularly (all bags turned off and first tab cleaned out) and after I found a third scroll in there we stopped playing for my wife to check all her channels. No message.

    It's not totally broken as we did get one set of notifications; apparently sometimes it does work. It does look like something is going on as we did not get a message/notification for every scroll.

    So far the only theory I could come up with is: you get a guild renown notification the same time you are supposed to get a scroll received message, the guild renown over-rides it. That's only an unproven/untested theory though.
    Characters on Sarlona: Ungnad (Morninglord, Wizard 17 / Favored Soul 2 / Fighter 1) -- Baerktghar (Dwarf, Paladin 18 / Fighter 2) -- Simulacruhm (Bladeforged, Artificer 16 / Paladin 3 / Wizard 1)

    No matter what side of the argument you are on, you always find people on your side that you wish were on the other.

    I've done about 5 epic quest on Argo and have yet to see one drop for group as well. But my luck is usually **** anyway.

    Did a full Red Fens run last night and several scrolls dropped.

    If they drop in your own bag you will see a pop-up notification. If they drop in others, it will show up int the loot channel.
