The suggestion with selling the scrolls with Pardoner comes with the idea someone could go, Priest or Krivis into Pardoner then Kabbalist for the scroll crafting. I think I mention it in the Pardoner section as a suggestion.
Typically, players level the Pardoner up to Rank 6 for the Spell Shop, set it up, then log into a different character to level that. Which is really nice, but there are players that want to level up their crafterâs to max, while also being effective in content.
[/quote]I understand that, itâs just the way you worded it sounded like Spell Shop was required for selling Simony scrolls. (and they canât be sold that way.)
I also understand that: however, as far as I know,
-
Pardoner is the worst afk shop you can open. Squire and Alchemist both make significantly more, and even then itâs not like those two make a lot either. The current market price on Pardoner buffs + buff cost + buff price is just too overwhelming, you can manage 100~200 profit on each buff⌠300~600 assuming you sell all three, which you often donât, since Blessing only lasts ~10min due to hit count and Aspersio only really contributes in dungeons.
-
Even with those settings, to even be competitive as a Pardoner in the first place, you need lv15 on all three buffs⌠meaning you canât invest on anything on the whole Priest tree but the buffs. This essentially makes those three ranks close to useless, effectively making your whole character useless.
I mean, itâs still viable even with all those factors, I guess⌠but itâs far from a âgreat optionâ, at least if going for Spell Shop, because youâd either have to gimp the whole character for it or the characterâd sell pretty much nothing. Battle-wise, you also get very limited utility compared to circle 1, as I explained in my earlier post⌠so in the end I consider it pretty much a waste of a circle.
Pardoner1âs pretty great though. The utilityâs good, and while Simony isnât really a huge money maker either, itâs at least decent money over time (assuming you have good classes to make scrolls from), and you can support your alts with your own scrolls.

But thinking ahead you have 7 out of 10 (currently) Ranks unlocked right now. No ways to reset Class Selections. And very limited information on Rank 8+ classes that are to come. I would rather focus on an concept, idea or aspect and build off of that, rather than try to cover all everything. I just don't want to ever be in a situation where that 1 Rank I spent on Krivis, might lock me out of something in the higher ranks.
[/quote]That makes sense, but if you're going to think ahead, here's something to think about: IMC has confirmed there's a Pardoner revamps in the works (I assume mainly regarding Simony), and they were particularly concerned about Krivis's Daino losing usefulness due to it being Simony-able.
This was stated back in Nov 2015, and thereâs been no word since then. I assume theyâre busy with higher priority issues, such as server stability, ping/fps issues, and they might be wracking their brains over RMT and bots. But one way or another, this means that itâs highly likely that Daino scrolls will no longer be an option in the future.
Meaning, if you need Daino and you donât have Krivis, youâre screwed. They might buff our buff limits if this happens (Krivis would become meta to the point people would reroll for that one dipâŚ), or they might not, but either way, itâs likely Krivis will stay meta for endgame party play.
Also, no matter whether we keep the ability of using Daino scrolls or not - we won't, but hypothetizing we do - it's highly unlikely any of the new Cleric r8~10 classes will fix the issue of Cleric2>Priest3 overbuffing. From a development perspective, if they were to add more buff limit buffs, it'd make much more sense to give them to the other three main lines.
Meaning, even if you were to keep the ability of using Daino scrolls, youâd still be spending 90~126k/hour on lv5 scrolls, and no problems were solved.
âŚand if weâre going to talk about dips future-wise, hell, thereâs barely any point in recommending anything right now. After all, how can I tell if Oracle c1/Druid c1 are good dips for example, if they might be nerfed or become irrelevant and that one rank spent on them locks me out of something?
