Inscription Question

My inscription is stuck at 60. I did not choose the quest path with this mage.

Magery and meditation are both at 100 and eval is at 51.2.

 

Is inscription tied to another skill? Is there something I need to do to move past 60?

    Did you try doing BODs?

    Keep casting spells or use eval on NPCs to raise eval.

    Have use the skill to get gains using that method.
    Focus on what you can do, not what you can't.

    Thanks. Yes, I tried BODs and it didn't raise beyond 60. When it stopped at 60 my eval was in the low 40's. I can try raising it more this evening and see if that helps.

    Well I raised my evaluate intelligence to 59.6, then got a 1 point increase and it got stuck at 60.6. My inscription will not increase past 60 and eval won’t go past 60.6. I have plenty of available skill points. 

    my character is on the divergent path. I shouldn’t need quests, correct? Is there something I need to do to move past this or is there a glitch in my character.

    I requested a GM in game, but waited around 1.5 hours without a response. I had to log out.

    Does anyone know why this is happening?

    A GM will have to take a look at your character in game, I do apologize if the GM was unable to see you at that time. I know they're quite busy as of late.

    Thank you both.

    Unfortunately it was pointless. I finally got a GM to look at my character and they couldn’t find anything wrong. I got a nonsense response of keep training because gains slow down. If it hasn’t changed in a week, page again. I guess making close to a 100 recall scrolls, plus many others, without a single gain is normal. Spending hours casting spells on monsters isn’t enough.

    my character is glitched and I’m not deleting this one and doing it over again to maybe have it glitch too. This is ridiculous. I’m not able to do what I want to do with it now.

    What are you fighting in the hope of getting gains? My char is not on divergent, but did get the odd inscription game during fights.

    I understand it to be you must do damage on a monster that dies to gain ?

    See if you are making the right spells for your level.

    I decided to hunt something a bit tougher so I hunted some water elementals and sea serpents. I killed a few and got two skill gains on inscription, which was the first time that ever happened for me. Then the gains stopped. Nothing on eval int.

    The highest circle scrolls I can do is four. I need seventy skill points to make fifth circle scrolls. I tried doing more recall scrolls and no gains. 

    I should be able to gain making scrolls. I mean, that’s what the skill is primarily for.

    Everyone, thanks for the suggestions!

    I don't think that applies to NL @Pawain You can't write 8th circle at all.

    @Baratoz water eles and sea serps aren't really that tough at GM mage. Try upping your game a little bit more? Daemons in the hedge maze might help, or drakes/wyvern in Destard.  I'd dodge the dragons in there though.

    Are 8th circle on drops only from bosses or can you get any 8th level for turning in bods?

    Is it like alchemy where deadly poison can't be crafted but it's a bod reward?

    TY :-)
  • @kyronix Any updates on why inscripton wont go past 60.0 via scribing spells and the gains are almost non-existent otherwise on the Divergent path?

    I have a bit of an update. I decided to add a few more skills thinking that might affect my character’s problem. I went to add Resisting Spells and found the Advanced Skill Trainer to do it. The text said it would be 10k in gold, I would get 50 in skill points, but I had to first see another character before I could get the skill. That character gave me a quest path. I had to kill 20 magical creatures to get 10 skill points in Resisting Spells. I did this over and over again until I reached 100. I went back to the original trainer and she said she had nothing for me. I’m on the divergent path and I had to do a quest. Figure that out.

    I decided to add focus for faster mana regeneration. That went as expected. I paid 10k in gold, got 50 points and it raised naturally to 100.

    As far as my inscription, I’ve made a lot of scrolls at my max level and some lower. I’ve done some BODS, no gains there. I tried killing some drakes and deamons, no gains. I did get a couple gains while clearing out the graveyards to complete the Resisting Spells quests, and I used my summoned deamon for that. I have had ZERO eval intelligence gains.

    I would really like someone to give me a straight answer as to whether or not you can increase inscription through making scrolls after 60. This is getting ridiculous, and I can’t do what I want with my character.

    I have the same issue as everyone else. I can't gain the skill above 60. I started my character as a ranger with archery and that training went perfect. Then I took Inscription to use the rest of the available skill points. I worked the skill up to 60 making scrolls and there were no issues. Then it stopped. I am thinking this is a bug that they are not willing to address. The reason I say that is it was the same way when we were doing the bata testing. It was reported then and nothing was done.
    I hope someone will address this soon so I can complete my character.

    Thank you for confirming that this is a problem. They really need to fix this and stop pretending it's not a problem and we are doing something wrong.

    I created a free account to test this. I haven't had a chance to bring the inscription up to 60 yet, but I watched, and I did not get a single experience gain on inscription while raising the other skills. I'm wondering if the code for inscription on the divergent path is still set for quests when it hits 60. I think someone forgot something.
  • Well, my divergent path mage is still stuck at 60 inscription. anyone else figure out how to get it to gain past this yet?

    as per @Pawain 's suggestio, here is a guide my newly discovered method for gaining inscription.
    1) punch a goat
    2) punch a dog
    3) punch a Llama
    4) rinse and repeat. 
    5) punch a walrus

    I decided to gain wrasslin today and went to a spot with lot's of creatures and starting punching, kept getting scribe gains mixed in. Punching animals gains scribe, Who knew??

    **Edited to Add Punch a Walrus to the list**
