Dwarf Scroll II, oh where are thou?

[JaviPapi]

For the love of all that is holy and unholy alike, where the hell does this drop!

Is it bugged? I have been through cave levels 40-60 I don't know how many times, and haven't gotten it yet. Damn it!

Anyone able to offer some help? Is it best to smash rocks, dig or murder the denizens of the deep?

After days and days of searching I finally found mine. And you know the worst part?...... I immediately clicked on the stairs, as I saw the scroll falling on the ground. I hate myself so much right now.

Edit: It was dropped by a bat around lvl 45, for what that's worth.

[JaviPapi]

Ouch, feel sorry for you Hurodrik.

Anyways, believe it or not, 2 minutes after this post, it dropped from a bat '_'

i've been searching for Dwarf scroll troll for 2 weeks in game time now... it dropped from monsters?! i thought it's from digging the mines... what a waste! i could've leveled up my mining and combat skill instead :'D

They have a 0.5% chance (1 / 200) to drop from any of the ice layer monsters in the mines, in case you cared to know.

You can see areas which can be dug whit the hoe. I got my scroll from that and i also got a hell of a lot bars/ores and some rare atrifacts.

Actually. Now that I have all four as drops from monsters, I found many by using the hoe in the patches of dirt inside the mines. Both in the valley and in the desert, so you could try that as well.

I was down in the ice area (40~55) killing dust sprites for Gil and got II III and IV all in one go. I don't even have the loot ring. It is all down to luck, but at least you know where to look.

I just got IV this morning tilling an area around level 103. Took forever to find that scroll, I'm almost through year 3. I can finally talk to the dwarf.

I go daily to the secret forest (Winter) in the attempt to drop scroll II. I have dropped about 4 scroll III - just now, I dropped two scroll IIIs in a row! Grrrr

IKR!!! I've been stuck on the 4th scroll for about an in-game MONTH!!! I still don't have it yet.

Been wondering about this too, I've turned in probably 60 or 70 artifacts and I've seen Dwarf Scroll III about 10 times now, but I've never seen Dwarf Scroll I or Dwarf Scroll II. It's weird how I've gotten so many of one scroll and none of the others. But then again I don't spend a whole lot of time in the mines, especially since I finally got to level 120 and finished it. I started to wonder if I had to be in a specific floor range or something, I guess that's what people are saying here?

Most efficient way to get each scroll:

Scroll 1 and 2: Till with steel hoe between level 5 - 65
Minute chance to acquire by killing monsters.
Scroll 3 and 4: Kill monsters on level 55 and up.
To be efficient you need a steel pickaxe and the highest damage weapon.
Extremely minute if not impossible chance to acquire by hoe.

May take multiple playthroughs.
It's random, but better odds are obtained if you follow the above.
Another strategy regarding scroll 3 and 4 is to kill monsters only near the entrance or until a stairway pop-ups, rather getting through every nick and cranny to kill them all which is much more time consuming. Think of it as you want to play the lottery as fast as possible, each monster is a lottery ticket.

Best of luck, and may the odds be ever in your favor!
