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, and a small Damage Bonus
  • 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 Mana Regen Bonuses

  • Material Spellbooks also provide a chance to double normal Mana Regen amounts when actively or passively meditating (while not Flagged in PvP)
  • Exceptional Quality: +10% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana
  • Dullhide Leather: +10% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana
  • Shadowhide Leather: +15% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana
  • Copperhide Leather: +20% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana
  • Bronzehide Leather: +25% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana
  • Goldenhide Leather: +30% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana
  • Rosehide Leather: +35% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana
  • Verehide Leather: +40% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana
  • Valehide Leather: +45% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana
  • Avarhide Leather: +50% Chance Per Meditation Tick to Regen 2 Mana


Note: If on a meditation tick a player manages to receive bonus mana from both a Material Spellbook AND from Food Satisfaction, they will regenerate 3 mana (and not 4 mana)

Material Spellbook Damage Bonuses

  • Exceptional Quality: +10% Damage bonus
  • Dullhide Leather: +1% Damage bonus
  • Shadowhide Leather: +2% Damage bonus
  • Copperhide Leather: +3% Damage bonus
  • Bronzehide Leather: +4% Damage bonus
  • Goldenhide Leather: +5% Damage bonus
  • Rosehide Leather: +6% Damage bonus
  • Verehide Leather: +7% Damage bonus
  • Valehide Leather: +8% Damage bonus
  • Avarhide Leather: +9% Damage bonus


Example: Exceptional Quality 10% + Rosehide 6% = 16% damage bonus


Spellbook Durability

  • Material Spellbook Base Durability (Uses Remaining) begins at 250 and receives bonuses based the leather type
  • 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
