In MapleStory Classic World, there are 208 types of scrolls divided into 52 scroll families, with four tiers in each family. However, only a small portion of them are truly useful. Scrolls primarily enhance equipment by consuming its Upgrade Slots and permanently adding stats such as weapon attack, primary stats, accuracy, and critical rate. You can use them to strengthen your character or sell them to earn mesos. Scroll System Scrolls come in four tiers, each serving a different purpose. Their value is largely determined by the market, and every tier has its uses. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that an enhancement attempt will succeed. If an enhancement fails, the scroll is consumed and the equipment loses one Upgrade Slot. However, failing with a Chaos Scroll destroys the equipment outright. How to Obtain Scrolls Scroll Merchants The most straightforward source is the scroll merchants scattered throughout the world. For example, NPC El Moth is located at The Tree That Grew III on Victoria Island, near Ellinia. El Moth sells 14 types of Lesser Scrolls for weapon or magic attack. Scrolls for two-handed weapons cost 50,000 mesos each, while those for one-handed weapons cost 25,000 mesos each. In addition, the new Citizenship system introduces two scroll shops. Most of their stock and purchase requirements are the same, but there are a few important differences: Henesys citizens can obtain Lesser Earring Crit. Damage Scrolls, Overall DEX Scrolls, and Overall STR Scrolls. Kerning City citizens can obtain Earring Evasion Scrolls, Overall LUK Scrolls, and Overall INT Scrolls. As a result, Henesys offers a slightly better selection of scrolls. Arcforge Crafting Besides purchasing scrolls from merchants, you can craft your own through the Arcforge crafting skill. The most important options are Earring Stat Scrolls, Glove Crit Rate Scrolls, and Cape Stat Scrolls, which unlock when Arcforge reaches levels 8 to 10. Quest Rewards Many quests also reward useful enhancement scrolls, particularly Intermediate and Greater Scrolls. Some quests let players choose the scroll they need, while others provide a random reward. Weapons The level 20 quest Jane and the Mushroom randomly rewards one of 14 possible Intermediate Weapon Scrolls, giving you a 1 in 14 chance, or approximately 7.14%, of obtaining a specific scroll. In addition, the level 48 quests Building a New House For Blackbull and Taking Out the Alligators 1 allow players to choose a Greater Weapon Scroll suited to their class. Some sources also list the level 39 quest Welcome to the Hollow as a source of Greater Weapon Scrolls, although its official release status remains disputed. Gloves The level 36 quest Collecting 150 Cursed Dolls randomly rewards either an Intermediate Glove Attack Scroll or an Intermediate Glove Magic Attack Scroll. The level 44 quest Jane's Final Challenge also rewards a glove scroll, which can be either Intermediate or Greater. Capes The level 42 quest Pia's Gift randomly rewards a Greater Cape Stat Scroll that increases STR, DEX, INT, or LUK. The level 48 quest Taking Out the Alligators 2 lets players choose one of four Intermediate Cape Stat Scrolls. Earrings The level 21 quest Proof of Companionship randomly rewards an Intermediate Earring Stat Scroll. The level 27 quest Regained Vitality also provides an Intermediate Earring Scroll and lets players choose the type they need. The level 43 quest The Road Back Home randomly rewards a Greater Earring Stat Scroll. Which Scrolls Should Each Class Use? Thief Thieves should prioritize scrolls that improve their DPS, especially for key equipment slots such as weapons and gloves. For weapons, You can trade Lesser Claw and Dagger Scrolls from Merchants directly as long as you have enough mesos. Of course, you can also buy MS Classic World mesos as you lack them. For overalls, you can choose between LUK and DEX scrolls. Kerning City citizens can obtain Lesser LUK Scrolls after reaching Citizenship Level 7, while Henesys citizens can obtain DEX Scrolls under the same requirement. One important consideration is that Sauna Robe is the only overall available to male thieves. Since it is a one-time quest reward, it can be quite costly. Female thieves can use level 35 overalls, so they do not face the same problem. Archer Archers can follow the same weapon enhancement strategy as thieves. Purchase Lesser Bow and Crossbow Scrolls from the merchant in Ellinia and use them on a weapon you intend to keep for a while. Save better weapon scrolls for your endgame weapon. For overalls, you can use DEX or STR Scrolls from the same Citizenship shops. Unlike thieves, archers have access to level 50 overalls, so male archers do not have to rely on Sauna Robe. Warrior Warriors can purchase Lesser Scrolls suited to their weapon type and use them on a weapon they plan to keep for a while. Better scrolls should be reserved for their endgame weapon. For overalls, warriors can choose between STR and DEX Scrolls. Both types have Lesser versions available from Henesys Citizenship shop, following the same approach as archers. Magician Magicians should start by enhancing their Wands or Staffs with Lesser Scrolls from the same merchant, saving better scrolls for later. For gloves, both Citizenship shops sell Lesser Magic Attack Scrolls. Critical rate is not usually a magician's first priority, much like it is not for warriors, but either option can be viable. For earrings, you can craft INT Scrolls or opt for critical damage scrolls. INT is the recommended choice for overalls, with Lesser Scrolls available from Kerning City Citizenship shop. INT is also recommended for capes, which can be crafted. Overall, the scroll system in MapleStory Classic World is relatively straightforward. However, due to the random nature of enhancement, creating perfect gear is almost impossible. For now, it is best to focus primarily on Lesser or Intermediate Scrolls.

Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 4 is now live, and one of its launch bundles is built around a real military hero rather than a fictional character or entertainment crossover. The $19.99 C.O.D.E. Valor Pack adds U.S. Marine Corps veteran and Medal of Honor recipient Kyle Carpenter to MW4, along with two Operator appearances, three weapon blueprints and a set of cosmetics inspired by his military service, recovery and personal story. The pack is available now in MW4 Multiplayer and DMZ. Its items will become available in Call of Duty: Warzone when Season 1 launches. Activision is also donating 100% of its net proceeds from the pack to the Call of Duty Endowment, which supports veteran employment programs in the United States and United Kingdom. MW4 Valor Pack Price and Contents The C.O.D.E. Valor Pack costs $19.99 USD, or the equivalent local price. The official listing includes: “Valor” Operator “Relentless” Operator Skin “Forged Resolve” M4 Assault Rifle Blueprint “Still Standing” Rezi 12 Shotgun Blueprint “Worth Fighting For” Combat Knife Melee Blueprint “Nice Try” Weapon Charm “Steel Talon” Weapon Sticker “Forged in Valor” Calling Card “Earned, Not Given” Emblem “Blood, Sweat & Sand” Loading Screen 1 Hour Double Level XP Token 1 Hour Double Weapon XP Token The bundle is listed for $19.99 on the official Call of Duty store and Steam. Several of the cosmetic details are directly tied to Carpenter. The “Worth Fighting For” combat knife carries his rank and full name along with the phrase that has become one of his personal mantras. The “Nice Try” grenade charm and “Don't Hide Your Scars” detail on his gear also draw from his story and outlook after his recovery. Who Is Kyle Carpenter? Kyle Carpenter is a retired U.S. Marine Corps corporal and Medal of Honor recipient whose real-life service is at the center of the MW4 Valor Pack. On November 21, 2010, Carpenter was serving in Marjah, Afghanistan, alongside fellow Marine Lance Cpl. Nick Eufrazio when a grenade landed near their rooftop position. Carpenter moved toward the grenade and used his body to shield Eufrazio from the blast. The injuries were devastating. Carpenter lost his right eye and most of his teeth and remained unconscious for five weeks. After a lengthy recovery, he was medically retired from the Marine Corps in 2013. In 2014, President Barack Obama awarded him the Medal of Honor for his actions in Afghanistan. That history is not simply background for the Operator. It is the foundation for the Valor Pack and the accompanying Forged in Valor series, which follows Carpenter's service, recovery and resilience. Carpenter Helped Shape the MW4 Operator The most distinctive part of the Valor Pack is Carpenter's involvement in its development. Activision says the pack was created in close collaboration with Carpenter, who worked with the Infinity Ward and Call of Duty Endowment teams on details drawn from his life, service and recovery. The three-part Forged in Valor series gives players a behind-the-scenes look at that process. The collaboration also shows up in the details. Carpenter's in-game appearance draws from his time in Afghanistan, while the M4, knife, patch and other cosmetics incorporate references to his service and personal mindset. Stars and Stripes reported that Carpenter described the project as a particularly collaborative one, with his ideas, recommendations and requests taken into account during development. That makes the Valor Pack different from a simple likeness deal. The character is still part of a fictional military shooter, but the developers built the surrounding cosmetics around details connected to the real person behind the Operator. When Will the Valor Pack Be Available in Warzone? For Warzone players, the timing is the main thing to know. The Valor Pack is available at MW4 launch in Multiplayer and DMZ. The official Call of Duty store states that the pack's items will become available in Warzone when Season 1 launches. So although the pack is already being sold as an MW4 and Warzone bundle, Warzone players should not expect the items to become available there immediately at launch. For current MW4 players, the situation is simpler: the Kyle Carpenter Operator, weapon blueprints and other listed cosmetics are part of the launch offering. Does the Valor Pack Affect MW4 Gameplay? The Valor Pack is primarily a cosmetic purchase, with the two XP tokens providing an additional progression benefit. It does not add a new game mode or special matchmaking feature. The main draw is the Kyle Carpenter Operator, the themed weapon blueprints and the personal details connected to his story. That also means the bundle does not provide a special competitive advantage. Players researching MW4 Bot Lobbies or other ways to practice weapons should treat those as separate topics rather than something included with the Valor Pack. If you're judging the bundle purely by gameplay value, there is little reason to buy it for performance alone. Its appeal is the character, the cosmetics and the real-world story behind them. Where Does the Money From the Valor Pack Go? The other major reason the Valor Pack stands out is its connection to the Call of Duty Endowment. Activision says 100% of its net proceeds from the pack will be donated to the Endowment, which supports programs that help veterans in the U.S. and U.K. find meaningful employment after military service. The wording is important: the commitment covers Activision's net proceeds rather than the entire $19.99 purchase price. Steam's listing also notes that VAT or sales tax is excluded from the amount donated. The Endowment was established in 2009 and focuses on helping unemployed and underemployed veterans transition into high-quality civilian jobs. The latest MW4 launch information says the organization has helped place more than 180,000 veterans into jobs. Is the MW4 Valor Pack Worth It? If you're looking for a bundle that changes how MW4 plays, the Valor Pack is not that. Its value is much more straightforward. You get the Kyle Carpenter Operator, a second Operator skin, three weapon blueprints, themed cosmetics and two XP tokens. More importantly, the bundle is tied directly to Carpenter's story and supports the Call of Duty Endowment's veteran employment mission. At $19.99, it makes the most sense for players who like the Operator, collect Call of Duty cosmetics or want to support the Endowment through a purchase they were already considering. For everyone else, there is no gameplay requirement to own it. The pack is ultimately a premium cosmetic bundle with a real-world purpose behind it. For MW4 players checking the Valor Pack after launch, the essentials are simple: it costs $19.99, includes two Operator appearances and three weapon blueprints, is available now in MW4 Multiplayer and DMZ, and is scheduled to reach Warzone with Season 1. Activision's net proceeds from the pack go to the Call of Duty Endowment.
