Elite Item Scrolls

Elite Item Scrolls are a consumable that lets players turn an ordinary vanilla item into an EliteMobs item scaled to the scroll's level. This is a way to "promote" a favorite vanilla weapon or armor piece (or a non-EliteMobs custom item) into the EliteMobs combat and progression systems.

Not the same as the Unbind Scroll

This page covers the Elite Item Scroll, which converts vanilla gear into EliteMobs gear. It is a different item from the Unbind Scroll used to remove Soulbind — see the Item Upgrade System for unbinding.

Disabled by default

Elite Item Scrolls are turned off out of the box. Set useEliteItemScrolls: true in ItemSettings.yml to enable them. While disabled, the scroll command, the NPC menu, and the admin give commands all refuse to run.

What a scroll does

Each scroll carries an internal level. When a player combines a scroll with a vanilla item at the Elite Scroll NPC, EliteMobs:

1. Sets the resulting item to the scroll's level (applying the matching elite damage/defense scaling).
2. Registers the item's vanilla enchantments into the EliteMobs combat system.
3. Soulbinds the result to the player if the scroll itself was soulbound.
4. Rebuilds the item lore as a proper EliteMobs item.

The scroll is consumed in the process and only converts one item.

How players get scrolls

• Elite drops: When scrolls are enabled, killing an elite has a chance (eliteItemScrollChance, default 0.1 = 10%) to drop a scroll. The scroll's level matches the level of the elite's loot, so the gear it produces is appropriate to the content the player is fighting.
• Admin grants: Admins can hand out scrolls directly (see commands below).

Using the Elite Scroll menu

Players open the conversion menu with /em scroll or by talking to the Elite Scroll NPC (elitemobs.scroll.npc). If the player is not in the Adventurer's Guild, the command teleports them there first.

In the menu:

• Place the Elite Item Scroll in the scroll slot.
• Place the vanilla / non-EliteMobs item to convert in the item slot.
• The output slot previews the resulting EliteMobs item. Click confirm to take it (the scroll and source item are consumed), or cancel to abort and reclaim your items.

The menu only accepts a scroll in the scroll slot and only accepts non-EliteMobs items in the item slot, so you cannot convert an item that is already an EliteMobs item.
