Important Script Drop Mechanics from ESO Daily Quests

Understanding how Scribing Scripts drop from daily activities in The Elder Scrolls Online is crucial for efficient farming. Here’s a breakdown of the ESO daily quest script drop rates:

• 100% Guaranteed Drop: Your first completed daily quest of each different type (e.g., one Delve, one Mages Guild, one PvP) will guarantee a Scribing Script of its associated type for your account.
• 25% Chance for Repeats: Subsequent completions of the same daily quest type within the day, on any character on your account, will have a 25% chance to drop an additional script.
• Daily Limit: You can get up to three guaranteed Scribing Scripts of each type per day (one from each of the three daily categories), totaling nine guaranteed scripts per day across your account (3 Focus, 3 Signature, 3 Affix). This is key for fast Scribing Script acquisition!

Class Mastery Script Location List & How to Get It

The Class Mastery Script is a powerful and unique Signature Script because its effect is entirely based on your character’s class, unlocking incredible potential tailored just for you! It’s not found in a single location like other scripts; instead, you’ll embark on a “Class Mastery Script Chase” to gather its components. This section details its unique ESO Script Locations.

How to Obtain the Class Mastery Signature Script

To acquire the Class Mastery Signature Script, you’ll need to combine 50 Class Script Scraps. The magic of the Dragon Luminary causes these mystical scraps to begin appearing across Tamriel after you’ve completed The Wing of the Dragon Scribing quest line. Once you collect your 50th scrap on one character, you’ll automatically receive the Class Mastery Script for that character. You can track your progress via the “Collect 50 Class Mastery Scraps” achievement under Character > Scribing.

Good news for alts! You only need to collect the Class Script Scraps once on a single character. After that, you’ll be able to purchase the Class Mastery Script for all your other characters from Chronicler Firandil.
