And why is it so hard to find information on them?
Ok. This post is two-fold. First, I have finally been able to find some of the rare recipe scrolls. Yippee!!!! I farmed the heck out of the ++Oakmyst Spiders and they have dropped three for me so far, plus a storm of lightning (Adept I). It was quite a tedious task trying to round up information on the whereabouts of Artisan Strategem Scrolls Volume 9, or any of the recipe books for that matter. I looked EVERYWHERE for info to no avail. I searched (almost, there's a lot of them :))every single page in this forum and the consensus was "Buy at the broker". If you don't mind farming for a bit, save your hard-earned money, and eventually they will drop.
Which brings me to my next point, which is actually a question. Will mobs still drop chests if they con grey? I have heard conflicting information on this. Just wanted to know. Thanks in advance.
