Characteristic Scroll

Characteristic Scrolls are single-use items that give characteristic points. There are four types of scroll for each characteristic: small, medium, great, and powerful:

Characteristic scrolls can be obtained from exchanging a certain number of items with an NPC. Some boss monsters such as Wa Wabbit are known to drop Characteristic Scrolls. There are also characteristic-enhancing food items that work exactly like characteristic scrolls.

There are two sellrooms for scrolls: -36,-56 (Bonta) and -31,38 (Brakmar)

For a list of the exchange possibilities of dragoturkeys for characteristic scrolls, see Dragoturkey Scroll Exchange.

See Resource exchange locations for exchange other than characteristic scrolls.

Scrolling characteristics
You can raise a characteristic only up to 101 using scrolls. Because of this limitation, some players decide to create a new character and raise the primary characteristics of it up to 101 right away at level 1 before investing any characteristic points that you gain as leveling class level. The advantage of such scrolled characters, however, is not as significant at higher level because scrolled characters will be affected by soft cap earlier than non-scrolled ones. For example, the difference in intelligence between a scrolled int Feca and a non-scrolled at level 1 is 101; at level 150, the difference is only 25.

Many players scroll non-primary characteristics also, most notably vitality, wisdom (AP & MP loss resistance and better experience gain), and agility (dodge-rolling and critical hit).

F2P players also can use scrolls, although they cannot exchange materials for characteristic scrolls because all the scroll exchange NPCs are in P2P area. Scroll sellrooms are also in P2P area only. Therefore, the only way a F2P player can get characteristic scrolls is from P2P players and P2P merchants in F2P area.

Although in general the lower types of scrolls cost less money, in some cases using powerful scrolls could be more economical depending on the price of the required materials at the time.

It should be noted that because the max characteristic point when you can still use a characteristic scroll is 99, and beyond 79 you have to use powerful scrolls that give 2 points each, you need to start using powerful scrolls when the characteristic that you are raising is odd number; otherwise you will end up with 100 rather than the maximum 101. (For example, if you start using powerful scrolls when your characteristic reaches 80 rather than from 79, your final scrolled characteristic will be 100.)

Note: some classes have a softcap of a certain Charectarisitcs of 5/1(points/stat) at 80 or 100.
