ALACRITY scrolls for Spellcasters : Is it possible to have their Timer increased ?
There is quite an imbalance, when using Alacrity scrolls with Spellcasters and when with Dexers....
Spellcasters, as we know, are subject to Mana usage and, even with Lower Mana Cost, eventually, when casting spells a go-go because training a skill under the effect of an Alacrity scroll, eventually the mana dries up, especially when at higher skill's levels when more Mana intensive spells need to be cast...
This means, necessarily, having to wait for Mana to go back up, before being able to resume casting spells to raise the skill.
Rinse and repeat, each time that Mana dries up....
Obviously, this means lots and lots of wait times which wear up the Alacrity 15 minutes times with less "skill checks" as possible because, obviously, the wait time to regain Mana are just wasted time that the Alacrity scroll wears out all for nothing....
None of this, has any affect on Dexers who, instead, when swinging or shooting (archers) or throwing (Throwers) at 1.25, can have skill checks a go-go with no time wasted on their Alacrity scrolls.
That is, for Spellcasters, Alacrity scrolls wear out way, but way faster with much less skill checks as possible throughout their 15 minutes time window, as compared to what skill checks Dexers can instead go for their combat skill, throughout those 15 minutes.
Thus, @Kyronix , would it please be possible to see Alacrity scrolls for spellcasting skills that use Mana and, thus, have "dead" waiting times to regain Mana, come up with a longer timer, say 30 minutes ?
Thanks.

Well, Alacrity and Transcendence scrolls have been existing for Years now.
And it is quite a fact that spellcasters wear out Mana when casting spells... something which dexers do not do.
So, I do not see why there should be double standards whereas dexers would more take advantage of their Alacrity scrolls but Spellcasters would not be on an equal footing.
I am not advocating eliminating to train skills at all, only, for some fairness in between Spellcasters who have to use Mana and Dexers who do not have this disadvantage.

The point of this Thread, is that Dexers and Spellcasters have it quite different when it comes to utilize Alacrity scrolls 15 minutes time window....
Dexers do not have dead times, spellcasters, regardless of their suit, eventually WILL run out of Mana and will need to suffer a dead time to have their Mana regenerate.
It is an imbalance which, to my opinion, should be addressed by making Spellcasters Alacrity scrolls timer longer as that of dexers'.
Also you would of course have maximum mana regen, + int and + mana armor and possibly use mana and int enhancing potions such as Urali trance tonic, balm of wisdom and Mana Draught?
Something, which Dexers training with Alacrity scrolls, do not need to worry about....
Yet, Spellcasters' and Dexers' Alacrity scrolls' timers are for all the same 15 minutes.
I happen to think that Spellcasters' should have theirs lasting longer for the reasons explained.
everyone else can get this working
As said above get a decent training suit and may out the skills. IT IS EASY
it is beyond comprehension how you have played this long and continue to be so bad and even the most basic tasks
The Devs will NOT change things just for you so why do you persist with the stupid questions?
and you lay out your topics like you are the voice of the players, you are NOT. YOU have this issue, only YOU so stop pretending that we all suffer in the same way you appear to
WHAT"S NEXT???????? do you have a troll list just waiting to be deployed?
as always embarrassed for you
The real solution to your problem is stoning on necromancy/(ss?) for wraith form and withering at the underworld slimes every time your mana gets low for an instant recharge.
Alacrity scrolls are a bonus, a free boost if you like, much like Transcendence scrolls, absolutely not necessary to level and gain skill. Just be thankful Alacrity scrolls exist!
