Smith's Scrolls are used to apply equipment modifiers to tools, weapons and armour. Note that only positive modifiers can be found as scrolls naturally, but negative modifiers can be obtained via commands.
Obtaining[]
Smith's Scrolls can be obtained by looting chests inside the mod's many Generated Structures. They can also be obtained as a rare drop from most NPC's or upon completing mini-quests.
Use[]
To modify the tool, weapon or piece of armour with the scroll bearing the modifier of your choice it is combined with the item in the anvil, as shown in the image below. The smithing process will cost a certain number of ingots or other raw materials that the item is made of. They are analogous to the enchanted books found in vanilla Minecraft.
The Anvil GUI
Additionally, scrolls with lower-level modifiers can be combined to create a higher-tier one. This is done by visiting a blacksmith and using the 'smith' GUI (in the same way that two weapons can be combined), then paying them a sizable sum of coins. For example, two 'sharp' scrolls can be combined into one 'keen' scroll for 200 coins (
).
Combining scrolls in this way for the first time awards the achievement "Expert Knowledge".
