Scrolls are consumable items in Forager that provide powerful effects when activated. You craft them at the Inscription Table, which requires the Inscription skill from the Magic tree. Scrolls can also appear in Markets and as Shrine rewards.

One of the best scrolls in the game. Mass-craft these for rapid leveling, especially in early-to-mid game where 3-4 scrolls can provide a full level.

Builder Scroll
