/rant on this parchment thing is total crap in my opinion. i love planes of power and all its content including the flags and trials and all the other clever new time sinks. i do not love being level 63 and feeling completly worthless not being able to mez anything in plane of valor,plane of storms...etc. ive lost rolls on literally 16 parchments, and have won none. now ive sucome to soloing crawlers in pod for their high rate of spell drops but if and when i get a dang parchment im worried im gonna get the stupid direct damage song or something. /rant off so when you hand in the parchments do they give you something completly random or is it somewhat order of importance? will they give you spells you already have? /rant on this could seriously take months to get warsong and dream of thule...not to mention lullaby and banshee. /q

All I know from reading about it is there are 3 kinds of parchments. Etherial Parchments Spectral Parchments Shadowy Parchments Etherial Parchments give a random level 61 or 63 song Spectral Parchments give a level 63 or 64 song And Shadowy Parchments give level 65 song other than that i know nothing. Hope this helped in any way.

thanks much. got one finally off a mob by the castle in pod, it was the level 63 ds. frankly i dont care about any of them besides the 62 mez at the moment, the 62 haste song is my second most wanted/needed.

Sounds like funfunfun. =P I'm still 54 and just working and having fun with the sheer easiness of aa right now. Getting 4yellows or so ina bout 3 pulls of swarm kiting in PoN on the werewolves is insane. Just got my second point tonight. So much fun. =P Too hard to talk though when you have the crowd of the wolves behind you though hehe.

Heyas, Su. Logged in this mornin' and started kitin' the Crawlies outside the PoD castle. Got an Ethereal, and it turned into the lvl 63 DS/resists song... Coincidence?

AERANAE! hows it going friend? youve always been master of the solo bard. i tried kiting over there but i was going crazy cause the damn things heal themselves when they get to about 8% to about 20%, the lightcrawlers that is. did you run into this problem and how did you stop it? i found a friggin sweet spot to get both ethereal parchments and spectral. go to the end of the river in plane of nighmares close to where the terror matriarch spawns. theres a ton of lvl 60+ spiders as well as 2 level 63 ones called consorts, they guard the terror matriarch when its up i think shes 65. the 63 and 65 ones drop the spectrals and the normal ones drop ethereal. its by no means an uber drop rate but seems to be more than any other tier 1 plane. seem to drop more and more the higher tier your on.

btw paid the sk i was with 9kp for his spectral turn in, got dreams of terris! now i just need level 64 :(

The lightcrawlers in disease don't actually heal themselves, it's the NPC regen rate triggering. This seems common with many planar mobs - have it happen to me when chant-kiting anywhere in the Planes, infact. Whenever the mob gets to 'running' mode, if you don't stay within a certain (relatively close) distance, it will kick in the NPC uber regen until it reaches 20 to 30% health. I just stay as close as possible without getting hit once it's down to about 15% or so, then pay close attention to when it starts running, so I don't run out of range. Another way to do it would be to purposely get an add when your first one is low, so their social code kicks in and they never start running.

just waiting for 64 so i can OWN with call of the banshee. i miss charm kiting sooooooo bad.

I have picked up three parchments in HoH. The drops seem to be completely random. I got 1 62lv song, 1 63lv song, and 1 64lv song.

Now I'm getting the stupid Druzzil dupes, Su. All your fault. :lol

somehow i keep getting tier 2 and 3 spells for tier 1's in trades...guess im getting lucky. call of flame is so awesome, still looking for requim of time. btw ding 65 :P

well i definitely believe the parchment method is a MUCH better solution to getting people needed spells than mobs just dropping them. think back to the days of kunark, velious, luclin. i'm STILL looking for sunstrike for my wife's wizard. every time we go kill in juggs/prot/jumpy, or kill a dragon, or whatever.. we get 20 copies of mage spells, some druid spells... mayba mala. never sunstrike. what the parchments have done is allow us to turn IN the parchment and perhaps get a needed spell.... instead of wading through hundreds of unusable spells... anyway.. my only problem with the parchments is i think when you turn them in, it should scan your spellbook and NOT give you duplicates. 6 copies of druzzil's disillusionment =( sigh Ferriciean Aetas 63 Virtuoso of Axiom Shift Rodcet Nife

Got Tuyen's Chant of the Plague today, when I turned in an E.P. I've got five more levels before I can use it, but the group I was with was all less than level 60, so we decided to just random among those who needed. Ended up getting two parchments by doing the castle in PoD for an hour or so. Good exp too. Maltune 56 Troubadour of Divide-et-Impera Bristlebane Server

Would someone be so kind as to tell me who we turn the parchments into and where he/she/it is? I finally got my first one last night.
