How to get

Hard Scroll is the third and highest tier of quest scroll in Kintara, dropped by King Scorpia and, as of a recent update, Venomweaver as well. It requires substantial material deliveries and combat tasks to complete, but pays out the richest Gold and cosmetic rewards of any scroll tier.

Soulbound: Hard Scrolls cannot be traded. You can hold a maximum of 5 at once, and any held scrolls are destroyed on death.

Update: Hard Scroll used to come only from King Scorpia, locking the rarest scroll in the game behind a boss on a contested timer. Venomweaver now also drops Hard Scrolls at 1 in 1,200 per participant (increased from an initial 1 in 2,000) — separate and independent from its existing Medium Scroll roll (1/325). Nothing was taken away to add this; both rolls happen on the same kill.

Note — King Scorpia is different: Unlike Venomweaver's two independent rolls, King Scorpia's Hard Scroll (1/750) and Medium Scroll (1/400 compensated) are mutually exclusive — only one scroll drops per King Scorpia kill, with Hard checked first. See King Scorpia for details.

Update — King Scorpia rate cut: King Scorpia now rises on every server in your region every 20-40 minutes instead of rarely on one server, so his Hard Scroll rate was cut hard to compensate: 1 in 100 → 1 in 750.

Acquisition

Source	Drop rate	Notes
King Scorpia	1 in 750	Reduced from 1 in 100 after his spawn frequency increased. Not independent from his Medium Scroll roll — see note above.
Venomweaver	1 in 1,200	Rolled separately for every participant, on top of Venomweaver's existing Medium Scroll roll. Increased from an initial 1 in 2,000.

Task Structure

Completing a Hard Scroll requires finishing all mandatory material deliveries plus the fixed bonus tasks below. Nothing on a Hard Scroll is randomized — every scroll asks for the same task set.

Mandatory Material Deliveries

Material	Amount required
Wood	4,000–5,000
Stone	3,000–4,000
Coal	2,500–3,500
Brute Horn	20–50
Molten Rock	100–200

Bonus Tasks (Fixed)

Task	Requirement
Defeat Venomweaver	5–10 times
Kill Giant Scorpion	10–30 kills
Kill Magma Brute	10–40 kills

Update: King Scorpia kills used to appear on the Hard Scroll bonus task list, but were removed. Requiring King Scorpia kills tied scroll completion to his old fixed 30-minute respawn timer, causing completion RNG. With his respawn now variable, the task list stays fixed to Venomweaver, Giant Scorpion, and Magma Brute only.

Redemption

Complete Hard Scrolls are redeemed to Maelor the Scrollbinder.

Reward	Amount / Chance	Notes
Gold	30–50	Guaranteed on redemption.
Flaming Helmet	1 in 500	Independent cosmetic roll.
Gold Cane	1 in 500	Independent cosmetic roll.
Emerald Cane	1 in 500	Independent cosmetic roll.
Ruby Cane	1 in 500	Independent cosmetic roll.
Sapphire Cane	1 in 500	Independent cosmetic roll.
Mummy Mask	1 in 500	New cosmetic roll. Hat slot. Part of the 3-piece Mummy outfit — each piece rolls separately.
Mummy Top	1 in 500	New cosmetic roll. Top slot. Part of the 3-piece Mummy outfit — each piece rolls separately.
Mummy Bottom	1 in 500	New cosmetic roll. Pants slot. Part of the 3-piece Mummy outfit — each piece rolls separately.
Robin Hood Hat	1 in 1,000	New cosmetic roll. Hat slot.
Straw Hat	1 in 1,000	New cosmetic roll. Hat slot.
Demon Mask	1 in 1,000	New cosmetic roll. Glasses slot — wears alongside any hat, but cannot be worn with actual glasses at the same time.
Pirate Hat	1 in 1,000	New cosmetic roll. Hat slot — a completely new model of a pre-existing item.

Each of the twelve cosmetic rolls is rolled independently on redemption — a single Hard Scroll can yield multiple cosmetics or none, in addition to its guaranteed Gold.

Update: Hard Scroll's cosmetic pool has expanded twice. First from 5 rolls to 9: the original Flaming Helmet and four canes unchanged, plus Mummy Mask, Mummy Top, Mummy Bottom (each 1/500), and Robin Hood Hat (1/1,000). Then from 9 to 12: Straw Hat, Demon Mask, and Pirate Hat were added, each at 1/1,000. Demon Mask is unusual — it wears in the glasses slot rather than the hat slot, so it stacks with any hat, but can't be worn alongside actual glasses. The three Mummy pieces roll separately, so the full outfit is three long grinds rather than one lucky scroll. Adding new rewards has never worsened the odds on any existing roll — every row is independent.

Comparison to Other Scroll Tiers

Tier	Source	Drop rate	Redeem value
Beginner Scroll	Wilderness mobs (Zombies, Dragons, Wolves)	1 in 1,000	2–5 Gold
Medium Scroll	Venomweaver (1/325) · Giant Scorpion (1/1,000) · Magma Brute (1/1,500) · King Scorpia (1/400 compensated)	Varies by source	6–15 Gold + 4 cosmetic rolls
Hard Scroll	King Scorpia (1/750) · Venomweaver (1/1,200)	Varies by source	30–50 Gold + 12 cosmetic rolls

Tips

• Stockpile Wood, Stone, and Coal before you get a Hard Scroll — the material deliveries are the largest bottleneck by far.
• Brute Horn and Molten Rock come from smaller pools, so start banking these early if you're actively hunting King Scorpia or Venomweaver.
• The bonus tasks are fixed, so you can work toward them passively while farming Medium Scrolls from Venomweaver or Giant Scorpion — those kills count toward your Hard Scroll bonus tasks too.
• Venomweaver is now a real Hard Scroll source in its own right — worth farming even outside King Scorpia hunts, especially since it also pays the best Medium Scroll odds in the game.
• Remember the 5-scroll cap and death penalty — redeem scrolls promptly rather than stockpiling them if you're taking risks in PvP zones like The Dunes.
