Ancient Scrolls are one of Dark And Darker Gold the more mysterious loot items in Dark and Darker. And, tons of players are asking, what are these things actually for? Dark and Darker - Inventory With Ancient Scroll In It
Dark and Darker's fourth alpha playtest is currently running (as of the time of writing this). It's currently planned to run from February 6th, 2023 to February 13th, giving players a full week to mess around with the new changes, map, and general updates.
In Dark and Darker, the intended 'goal' of the game is to dive into the dungeon, grab as much loot as possible, and get out. And, as far as loot goes, there's quite a lot. What exactly does this item do, and if sold, how much is it sold for? What Does The Ancient Scroll 'Do'?
Everything a player picks up within the dungeon can be sold to the Merchants when they get out, with general gold and silver antiquity/pottery/dishware selling for the most. But, what about one of the rarer items players are stumbling across, the Ancient Scroll?
Sadly, the Ancient Scroll currently does not have a purpose in Dark and Darker. Is It Worth Picking Up & Selling? Dark and Darker - Selling Ancient Scroll To The Collector
It's unclear whether this will change in future alphas or even the full release, but right now it serves no actual function. Despite taking up a whole 6 inventory slots and coming across as some sort of 'rare' item, this thing does nothing and that's not even the worst of it.
Short answer? No, the Ancient Scroll is not nearly worth the gold it sells for, at least not in comparison to the valuable items players could put in its place.
Ancient Scrolls take up six squares of the player's relatively limited 50-slot bag space, and it only sells for about 3 Gold at the Collector if a player manages to extract with buy Dark And Darker Gold it in hand. So, it's much more worthwhile for players to fill those four slots with random jewelry or tableware.
