	The '''icon index''' is one flat value per book/file (616–621) — a generic scroll-book graphic shared by every entry in that file, not a per-item icon; the [[BIN bitmapdata\|<code>bitmapdata</code>]] image id is still listed per row for consistency with the other catalogs.

			== Required level and EXP ==

			Cols 9 and 10 always come in fixed pairs:

			{\| class="wikitable"
			! Col 9 (required level) !! Col 10 (EXP?)
			\|-
			\| 1 \|\| 100
			\|-
			\| 3 \|\| 300
			\|-
			\| 10 \|\| 2,000
			\|-
			\| 30 \|\| 6,000
			\|-
			\| 50 \|\| 10,000 or 100,000
			\|-
			\| 80 \|\| 800,000
			\|}

			* '''Col 9 is the required production level''' (confirmed). When you use a scroll, the client checks the production skill that matches the target weapon: Katana production for a katana, Sword production for a sword, and so on. If your level is below col 9, it plays the error sound and sends nothing. The scroll's detail panel shows this number. Medicine scrolls (book 43) target a non-weapon, so the client counts your level as 1 and they always pass (their col 9 is 1).
			* '''Col 10 is probably the production EXP one craft gives''' (inferred). Nothing in the client reads it, which fits EXP: the server hands out EXP. The values track col 9 and match the production EXP table's scale. The client's production table (<code>g_SkillXpToNextLevel_Production</code> @ 0x004e5c88) needs 7,000 EXP to go from level 10 to 11, about three level-10 crafts.

			== Knowledge requirements ==

			The six books are named in the client as recipe categories. Three of them are written in an ancient language and need the matching knowledge skill (from the language [[Obelisks\|obelisks]]):

			{\| class="wikitable"
			! Book !! Client name !! Needs
			\|-
			\| 38 \|\| NormalRecipe \|\| nothing
			\|-
			\| 39 \|\| RaynegardRecipe \|\| Raynegard knowledge level 3+
			\|-
			\| 40 \|\| DoulanghaimRecipe \|\| Doulanghaim knowledge level 3+
			\|-
			\| 41 \|\| ShienaRecipe \|\| Shiena knowledge level 3+
			\|-
			\| 42 \|\| EvilRecipe \|\| nothing
			\|-
			\| 43 \|\| PotionRecipe \|\| nothing
			\|}

			Below level 3, double-clicking the scroll does nothing, and its detail panel shows a "can't read this" message instead of the recipe.

			== How crafting works ==

			Traced in rg.exe (October 2026). Older notes called packets 0x16 / 0xC03E a "weapon reload"; they are crafting.

			# '''Use the scroll.''' Double-click a scroll in your inventory. The client enters its crafting state (log text <code>MODE:MAKE</code>). The scroll stays in your inventory the whole time.
			# '''Client checks.''' It checks your production level against col 9. Then it searches your inventory for each material slot, taking as many matching items as the slot's quantity. If a slot can't be filled, the search stops early but '''still sends whatever it found''', so a server has to check the full recipe itself. Only an empty material list stops the request.
			# '''Request (client → server 0x16):''' the scroll's reference, then a count, then the reference of every material item to use.
			# '''Server answer.'''
			#* '''Success (0xC03E):''' the server sends the finished item. The client puts it '''on your mouse cursor''', removes the materials it sent from your inventory, and plays a success sound. If something is already on the cursor, the client rejects it.
			#* '''Refusal:''' the server answers the pending request with a failure. The client plays the error sound and nothing is used up.
			# '''Place the item.''' You click to put the new item into an inventory slot (client 0x0E) or drop it on the ground (client 0x0B).

			'''The scroll is never used up.''' Only the materials are, so one scroll is a recipe you can craft from again and again. This fits player memories of crafters mass-producing weapons to level their crafting skills.

			Still unknown: what level a crafted weapon starts at, and whether the original server stamped the crafter's name on it (the Korean preview says crafted gear carried the maker's name).

	* '''Target''' (cols 11–12) — the item this scroll is "for". For files 38–42 this is always a weapon (dat 16–21: Katana/Sword/Axe/Spear/Bow/Bow Gun); for file 43 it's always a consumable (dat 10 or 34, the Medicine category). The scroll's own name almost always echoes the target directly — e.g. <code>Sc.C.A.2</code> targets the [[Weapons#C.A.2\|C.A.2 katana]]; <code>Sc.Antidote</code> targets a Medicine entry; <code>Sc.Elixir</code> targets the rare <code>34.dat</code> "revival" entry and needs four ingredients.		* '''Target''' (cols 11–12) — the item this scroll is "for".

	* '''Materials''' (cols 13 onward) — a variable-length list of <code>(category dat, entry, quantity)</code> triples, ending in zero padding. For files 38–42 the category is almost always '''35 (Ore)''', with higher-tier weapon scrolls occasionally also requiring '''36 (Monster Item)''' drops; for file 43 it's consistently '''11 (Food)'''. Higher-tier scrolls (higher buy price) generally need more/rarer materials.		* '''Materials''' (cols 13 onward) — a variable-length list of <code>(category dat, entry, quantity)</code> triples, ending in zero padding.

	* ~~Two more header-adjacent values~~ (~~cols 9–10, not shown below~~) ~~appear before~~ the ~~target reference — likely a required skill/~~level and ~~a related cost, but~~ the ~~exact meaning hasn~~'~~t been traced through~~ the client and ~~isn't asserted here~~.		* '''Required level''' (col 9) — the production level needed to use the scroll (see [[#Required level and EXP\|below]]). Confirmed in the client.
			* '''Crafting EXP''' (col 10) — probably the production EXP one craft gives. The client never reads it, so this is inferred from the data (see [[#Required level and EXP\|below]]).

	~~This decode~~ is ~~inferred purely from the consistent cross-referencing pattern in the data (the same dat/entry addressing scheme used by missions, NPC shops, etc.) — it hasn~~'~~t been~~ confirmed against the client'~~s scroll-use~~ code ~~path~~, ~~so treat~~ the ~~target/~~material ~~interpretation as strong-but-unverified~~.		The target and material reading is now '''confirmed against the client''' (rg.exe, traced October 2026; see [[#How crafting works\|How crafting works]]): the crafting code reads the target to choose which production skill to check, and reads the seven material slots to find the items to consume.

	Because scrolls have no combat stats and no description text, this page skips the per-item infobox pattern used on [[Rings]]/[[Armor]]/[[Weapons]] and lists every scroll in one table instead. Each name is still individually anchored, so it can be linked directly, e.g. <code><nowiki>[[Scrolls#Sc.C.A.2]]</nowiki></code> → [[Scrolls#Sc.C.A.2\|Sc.C.A.2]].
