Yeah but I am not stuffing around soulstoning skills off one character to put on another just to scirbe spells, with 30 mana regen, 200 mana and meditation it shouldn't be required. The only thing you should need is the SKILL and nothing else. I can make armor, cook, make weapons, tinker items, make furniture totally naked. Inscription shouldn't be any different. When you are scribing spells you are generally standing in front of a chest 'going make max' . It is not battle it is not something that is gonna raise you squillions in gold, sheesh on most shards you are unlikely to get more than 20k for a mage book that requires you scribing 64 spells lol. There are much better things for the scripters to farm than stuff that requires regs/scrolls etc.@MissEcho, do you also have Focus?
There is zero requirement for inscribing spells to use mana. It is a total hindrance to training the skill although you can make 'other' things when training to avoid all the waiting around for mana to regen. I am probably one of the few people who actually LOOTS scrolls for the very reason that I hate standing staring at the screen waiting for mana. Biggest problem is there are very very few critters that drop level 8 scrolls. Some of the bosses, dark father, shadowguard bosses, exodus etc and the only 'regular' mob (from memory) is Meer Eternals. However since they destroyed the Meer Catacombs there is only 2 in the village nth of Sacrifice so 'farming' them is nearly as bad as waiting for mana.
Mana when inscribing is one of my pure HATES in UO. That and filling mage spellbooks, they need to have an 'auto fil' function if you put the book in a box of scrolls.
As the OP said, sure you need ingredients (regs/blank scrolls) but you shouldn't also require mana to make them. The mana requirement should ONLY be used by whomever 'casts' the spell. @Bleak @Kyronix
