Champion Protection Bug ?

[rwo001]

Yesterday i go champion with my guildmate, i use justice to protect my guildmate. when finish, i got 6 scrolls but my guildmate got NOTHING!!. Why? we try twice and the problem is the same!!

Also, we found that the scroll distribution is quit different as before, we went to kill another champ with 6 guildmates. I honored the boss and chain AI from the begin to the end. Finally, i got NOTHING...no scrolls!! Our healer have 2 scrolls..this time we don't use the justice to protect..

No clue..I know i just came back and champs have been royaly screwed. Use justice gains for every scoll, including pinks, and then someone who is xhealing has chance to earn scrolls....

I will ask some guildmates though if they are having any issues with this and if so Ill have one of them post here or I will post here as well.

I've had 2 spawns where I got the skull and a replic and no scrolls , rat at island swamp tile and skull, riktor at ice west lava tile and skull ,no scrolls at either same 3 people both times , other tank got 5 scrolls on both and protector gets 4&5 each, maybe a stealther hit champ but unlikely.

Healers now get scrolls and I believe bards may too. The devs just recently changed how this works an it is wildly different. There is a huge thread here a page or so back. It describes the new rules

your mates are telling you lies me thinks. As a protector you only get a scroll for every scroll that a person gets under your protection. If they get 0 scrolls so does the protector. If who you protect only gets 3 scrolls you only get 3 too as the protector. So if you're the protector and you get 6 scrolls, so did the people your protecting.

You may want to snoop there bag next time

Having access to a multitude of accounts makes my opinion biased... I can play spawners, multiple protectors, etc...

For the usual UO player that multi clients and tries to do a spawn:
#1 using a sampire, a discorder protector... scrolls will be lost.
#2 using a sampire, a discorder and a stealth protector... good chance of getting scrolls if you still are a knight of justice after the 4 levels of spawn.

Maximizing the rewards should be something like:
#3 using multiple spawn killers, 1-2 protectors for the spawn levels, then changing to a new stealth protector at the end of the spawn (a knight of justice)... that might get you the full 12 scrolls. I have tested that for spawning and harrowers and so far so good...

My question is... how does this change makes any sense if the usual spawn crew has two to four members? I must have missed something...

consider dropping the sampire and just using a normal warrior, takes 1-2 minutes more at the most but you dont need a discorder or healer, and you can actually fight off attackers very well. I always did that and had my thief next to the boss, and just protected myself before honoring and fighting him, 12 scrolls every time. (wouldn't be any different now as my thief literally did nothing at the spawn, just sat there invisible)
