The Scroll Shop

The Research cloth of the Hollow Merchant trades in Scrolls 📜 — the newest currency and the most different. Scrolls don't buy trinkets; they buy capabilities. Think of them as the game's tech tree.

Where Scrolls come from

Scrolls are produced by the Research Center — a Kitchen upgrade that, unlike the ingredient farms, generates Scrolls scaled by your Avatars' power. The Research Center is now open to all players, so you can unlock it (a one-time 50 Chit buy) and start banking Scrolls today. There's no claim button — Scrolls auto-bank as they accrue.

Where you spend Scrolls

Scrolls are spent in two places, both showing your live balance:

  • The Research Center tab itself — where the efficiency upgrades and the Celestial Smithing unlock live.
  • The Hollow Merchant's Scroll cloth — the capability unlocks you can afford. Any ware still marked "Soon" is a preview whose spend path is on the way.

The wares

Scrolls unlock capabilities, not consumables:

  • Celestial Smithing3 Scrolls. Opens the ten-step chain that forges a Celestial Relic (the gear tier above Legendary), and is the gate on buying Celestial Trace with Crests.
  • Production Efficiency3 Scrolls per stack (up to ×3). Each stack adds output to your value cultivators (foundry, smithy, apothecary, mystic).
  • Mining Efficiency3 Scrolls per stack (up to ×3). Each stack adds output to your farm & extract cultivators (garden, extractor, mine).

More capability unlocks are on the way — the Scroll cloth shows any that are ready for your balance, and marks the rest "Soon."
