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 2,000 per participant — separate and independent from its existing Medium Scroll roll (1/500). Nothing was taken away to add this; both rolls happen on the same kill.
Acquisition
| Source | Drop rate | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| King Scorpia | 1 in 100 | Rolls independently alongside Gold, Medium Scroll, and the King Scorpia Mount on every kill. |
| Venomweaver | 1 in 2,000 | Rolled separately for every participant, on top of Venomweaver's existing Medium Scroll roll. |
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. |
Each of the nine 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 expanded from 5 rolls to 9. The original Flaming Helmet and four canes are unchanged; four new items were added — Mummy Mask, Mummy Top, Mummy Bottom (each 1/500), and Robin Hood Hat (1/1,000). The three Mummy pieces roll separately, so the full outfit is three long grinds rather than one lucky scroll. Adding these new rewards did not worsen 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 (1/500) · Giant Scorpion (1/1,000) · Magma Brute (1/1,500) · King Scorpia (1/75) | Varies by source | 6–15 Gold + 4 cosmetic rolls |
| Hard Scroll | King Scorpia (1/100) · Venomweaver (1/2,000) | Varies by source | 30–50 Gold + 9 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.
