i spammed general chat for 2 weeks just for scrolls... found a guy eventually to help with 110s, worked skills up to 110 and only found a couple of the 20s after a long period of time. the sad part is, ive met several people that HAVE the scrolls, they just hold them as ransom for me to join their guild for a month first or some junk.
my char is still more than capable, but i know exactly what he means. it was frusterating as hell knowing tons of people had what i was after, yet no one was willing to sell them. so i had to run around as a 7x gm forever getting beat down by 120 skill dexers and such... and as soon as i cast a magic arrow they would run away (cause thats the thing to do on siege).. but still lol.
there is deifnitely some strict bias on siege if you are a "stranger". I don't get that, considering a bunch of board warriors blow up stratics for new people to come to siege, then shun them at every corner.
