corruption

Well, the conclusion was largely that it was a wash. If you have scrolls, they can be cheaper than buying regs -- but the scroll cost ultimately balances out. The key, however, is to use a high circle scroll -- as high as possible -- so that you fail as much as possible. Casting with scrolls will cast 2 circles higher (if you have 40 real skill, a 6th circle scroll won't give gains often, if at all).

What I found to work, was using 6th/7th circle scrolls until about 62, and 8th circle scrolls until about 85 -- however, this was just testing how far I could take skill gains off scrolls alone. Its likely more efficient to just target regs unless you have the scrolls, but I never finalized my findings.

Thanks for the update. I kind of came to the same conclusion about hitting a cap of about 60. It was worth a shot I guess.
