Galmac.4680 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Hi,do I see that right, to unlock the new special missions I have to exchange 20 old special mission scrolla to 1 (one) new special mission scroll, with now about 30s per old scroll on the TP? Or do the new scrolls drop somewhere but I just missed that spot? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wizler.8192 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 The old scrolls will continue to drop from the old (south) meta. You can trade them for the new scrolls. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witch of Doom.5739 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 Yeah, all those useless scrolls you sold? Now you need them. And all those Stormcaller weapons you kept because of the text that said they could be upgraded soon? Now you don't need them. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerinndis.2730 Posted July 30, 2020 Share Posted July 30, 2020 New scrolls do drop in the north part of the map but not as frequently as those in the south. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Galmac.4680 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 New new scrolls drop?? Killed so many bastards there, but not a single scroll so far. Perhaps they should do something with the drop rate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Infusion.7149 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 They drop from chests in north I think and also are in the dominion / frost legion commendation achievement "reward track". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Memoranda.9386 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Granted, the previous ones probably dropped too frequently, but the new unlock item is too frustrating to collect. It feels as though I'll be done with everything else before coming close to unlocking all the special missions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ffletcher.3468 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 This is the problem all right. By the time you have spent enough time on the map to unlock the missions, you (or I, at least) will have no interest in going back to get the mission completion. Really poor game design imo, and a recurring theme lately. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

With that amount of stuff done during this whole 3 hrs, I still couldn't progress my achievements because I haven't unlock them yet? No thanks.

Ayrilana.1396 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Just an FYI that the new special missions do not award AP nor is there an achievement tied to the completion of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aerinndis.2730 Posted August 2, 2020 Share Posted August 2, 2020 Issue I am having now is that I got the Dominion and Corrupted missions all open and recently got a Corrupted Intel document that I cannot use now. I wish we could exchange it for one we don't have in addition to collecting the 20 special mission documents for the Charr Intel documents. All I can do is sell it for 5 silver....

Aerinndis.2730 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 I was hoping they just overlooked being able to trade one commendation for others or maybe for several special mission ones towards buying the one you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sylanna.1947 Posted August 3, 2020 Share Posted August 3, 2020 this is their way of getting people to stay on the map longer. a 3 hour meta and scrolls that almost never drop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manasa Devi.7958 Posted August 4, 2020 Share Posted August 4, 2020 I unlocked my first northern special mission after doing the meta 4 times. At this pace, I'll never unlock them all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I didn't realize at first that all the special scrolls can be purchased from the TP if you really want, the Charr ones are expensive, but the others are pretty cheap. You can at least get those out of the way and save up for the Charr ones with map currency Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In the south, the special missions were useful to advance the legion tracks. You got new missions hard and fast and they gave lots of extra commendations. If I'm going to have to pay to get the commendations faster, I'll just buy them at the Quaestors and save myself the trouble of having to frantically compete for mission achievement credit with other people in the mad zerg that is the northern meta.

Jokubas.4265 Posted August 5, 2020 Share Posted August 5, 2020 I think I've only seen one Charr Intel, one Dominion Intel, and one Corrupted Intel from natural drops in the time it took me to get 5000 Dominion Commendations. Also, during that time (doing the full meta multiple times), I only got about four or five miscellaneous scrolls from the original set. The conversion cost is absurd. I just bought my Dominion and Corrupted Intel from the Trading Post and ignored the expensive Charr ones for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynder.2509 Posted August 6, 2020 Share Posted August 6, 2020 They're dropping very rarely to never for me too. I bought 160 normal ones each day (I know, quite costy and my wallet still hurts) and exchanged them for the new ones.But the drop rate of newer ones is really a joke considering how much old ones cluttered up the inventory before the newest release.Maybe next time it would be nice to inform us when we need something for the future. Not everyone can spend gems all the time for new bank spaces or even can buy more spaces because they're maxed out already. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That just leave the 10 normal charr document special missions, and at 20 scrolls each, thats only 200 of the old documents to unlock them all. You shouldnt need to buy 160 docs more then once.

Galmac.4680 Posted August 6, 2020 Author Share Posted August 6, 2020 But the charr scrolls are special. You buy the first one for 20 old ones. The second costs 40 and the third 100. Another reason why this episode is just a joke. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
