Scroll Infusion Tactics

[Maerit]

Just a couple quick questions about best practices for using Scroll Infusion.

Let's say you have a scroll with 117, 205, and 509. You only care about 509, but obviously randomly unlocking the scroll and it gets 205 and 117 before picking 509...

So, in the above case:

1. Would you burn out the excess spells from the scroll before infusing in order to reduce the difficulty of infusing the scroll and avoid potentially locking the scroll?

2. Does using up all the charges of specific spells reduce the ability to re-infuse the scroll?

3. What other methods are there to protect the life and longevity of a scroll?



Also wondering if there are any scripts out there to make scroll infusing a less tedious process.

You cannot unlock a scroll once it has been used.

2. Does using up all the charges of specific spells reduce the ability to re-infuse the scroll?

No

3. What other methods are there to protect the life and longevity of a scroll?

Only invoke the spell that has value on the scroll.

My process for the 117, 205, 509 scroll would be beiron'fyn, then ikar'fyn. That would leave the 205 maxed at 5 charges, 509 at 15, and 117 untouched.

It sounds like you already unlocked all three spells. My advice for the longevity of the scroll is to simply use 509 and recharge as needed. There is nothing you can do about the other spells. As you recharge the scroll they'll hit their max of 20 (assuming you used Quiss'fyn) and then all remaining mana will go towards 509 as you use it.

To the best of my knowledge, "burning off" any of the spells is a bad idea. Even at 0 charges, the spell can still be a target for unlocking. Same goes for recharging. Reducing a spell to 0 charges makes no difference during the recharge process. As long as there is mana left in the scroll's mana pool, those spells will be recharged up to their unlock cap determined by which runestone you used to unlock.

Assuming the scroll was fresh...

You would want to first use beiron'fyn to unlock 205 at 5 charges. This allows you to avoid unlocking it with a higher runestone and you'll never put mana into the spell because it already will have 5 charges.

To truly maximize this scroll you would then unlock 509 with ikar'fyn. This rune unlocks spells level 15 and under, ensuring that 117 stays locked. You lose out on 5 charges before you have to recharge, but by keeping 117 locked you ensure MANY more charges worth of mana.

You leave 117 alone. As it will stay locked, all mana during infusion will go to any missing charges of 509. 205 is unlocked, but as you're not using it, you will never be putting mana into recharging that spell.

I was about to respond to this but I knew Allereli would be in with the answer like a laser-guided missile.

I just don't know how you remember the runes actually names. I just refer to them us ;rune 5|10|15|20|infuse|check other then that though definately agree with the advice
