How to get

Hard Scroll is the third and highest tier of quest scroll in Kintara, dropped exclusively by King Scorpia. 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.

Acquisition

Source	Drop rate	Notes
King Scorpia	1 in 100	Only source of Hard Scrolls. Rolls independently alongside Gold and the King Scorpia Mount on every kill.

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.

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

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 (1/500) · Giant Scorpion (1/1,000) · Magma Brute (1/1,500)	Varies by source	15–28 Gold
Hard Scroll	King Scorpia	1 in 100	30–50 Gold + 5 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.
• 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.
• 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.
