Summary

  • Players can craft Material Spellbooks using the Inscription skill under the "Material Spellbooks" crafting category
  • Material Spellbooks offer an alternative to Magic Spellbooks (which drop as loot) in that they provide a fairly continuous Mana Regen bonus to the player, rather than the flat Damage Bonus and Mana Refund Chance
  • Similar to Magic Spellbooks, Material Spellbooks will not provide any bonus to the player while they are currently Flagged in PvP
  • Material Spellbooks require both Colored Leather and Colored Boards to craft, along with several blank scrolls



Material Spellbook Durability

  • Material Spellbook Base Durability (Uses Remaining) begins at 250 and receives bonuses based the leather type
  • Material Spellbooks also provide a chance to double normal Mana Regen amounts when actively or passively meditating (while not Flagged in PvP)

Dullhide +50 +10%
Shadowhide +75 +15%

Spellbook Durability

  • Magic and Material Spellbooks "Uses Remaining" will now be referred to as Durability, to match similar handling to Armor and Weapons
  • Magic and Material Spellbooks are not deleted when reaching 0 Durability (Uses) similar to Weapons/Armor
  • Magic and Material Spellbooks suffer scaling durability penalties to Spell Damage similar to weapons, except with a maximum penalty of -5% (this amount is lower than weapons/armor due to them being optional equipment)
  • Players can view the Durability of their Magic Spellbooks by using Arms Lore on them or looking at the "Equipment" page of the [Stats menu
  • Players can view the specific Spell Damage Penalty they are receiving based on the Durability of their Magic and Material Spellbooks in the "Spells" page of the [Stats menu




Spellbook Type Switching

  • When a player casts a spell using a Magic Spellbook (i.e. Loot Drop spellbook) there is a 60 second delay before they will be able to receive any Mana Regen bonuses from any Material Spellbooks they equip
  • When a player regenerates mana using a Material Spellbooks, there is a 60 second delay before they will be able to receive any Mana Refund Chances or Damage Bonuses from any Magic Spellbook (i.e. Loot Drop spellbook) they equip
