Cache maps and scrolls of alacrity

[Toya]

For about the last month I have not had one cache map (from all facets) give me a scroll of alacrity. Anyone else noticing the same?

Get them often. Have never had one with an imbuing scroll tho. It's like the great white buffalo.

I used to get them.... maybe the RNG is messing around with me, but I havent got one in a cache in a long time.
Imbuing alacrity, have got one - believe it was in a TerMur artisan supply chest

Keep in mind that the Alacrity Scrolls won't spawn in Felucca on Cache maps, as Alacrity Scrolls were the consolation prize on non-Felucca Cache maps instead of Power Scrolls.

I do almost exclusively Felucca scrolls, so I only ever see them on Hoard and Trove.

Tested some more yesterday. Tramm, Ilsh, termur and tokuno = nada. I did get a few tmaps, but no alacrity. And, i probable did a good dozen cache maps. Strange.

I know they spawn on Supply chests as well, but not very often....like maybe 1 in 50 will have one. I wonder if maybe Cache chests have a similarly low drop rate.

Got 5 alacrity scrolls when doing 5 supply chests the other night. Was waiting to get a couple of cache maps to see whether I got any/what the drop rate was like.

i get lots from supply maps - but still not one from a cache lately. Been doing a few a day to see if it changes, but nada so far. Its very strange. I sent feedback through the help menu - if enough people do the same maybe they will investigate lol

just do hoard or trove maps garanteed multiple alacrities

One thing to note:

Maps appear to have all of the paper items as part of the same item pool, within facet restrictions. Besides the usual rare chance of getting a new map of the next-higher level from Hoard or less (or same level for Trove) outside that process, the "guaranteed paper" could be any mix of the types available on the facet (T-maps, SoA, SoT, PS). Whether getting 3 out of 5 drops as T-maps could be a good or bad thing depending on your playstyle.

Apparently this has been happening for a while, even though uo guide says alacrity scrolls will spawn in cache maps. Found a discussion in uo.com forums from about a year ago that was discussing the fact that there weren't any alacrity scrolls in cache maps either then. Guess i never noticed as i usually stick to hoards, trove but had collected a lot of cache maps from the treasures events and was trying to reduce inventory. The only "paper" item i get from them is a higher level map.
