Obtained as a drop from Mourning Wood during the Pumpkin Moon event, with drop chances scaling higher across advanced event waves. Wearing this ancient parchment increases maximum minion capacity by 1 and grants 10% increased summon damage across all active minions and sentries. This provides immediate minion capacity expansion and offensive scaling for summoners preparing for late Hardmode boss battles. It functions continuously without draining mana or requiring weapon re-summoning.
Summoner accessory pairing and papyrus progression
At a Tinkerer's Workshop, the scroll combines with a Hercules Beetle to craft the Papyrus Scarab. Because the scroll stacks with its upgraded counterpart, summoners can equip both simultaneously to gain 2 extra minion slots and 25% cumulative summon damage. This pairing serves as a cornerstone offensive setup alongside the Summoner Emblem. Reforging to Menacing maximizes minion damage output, while Warding aids fragile minion summoners.
Trivia
The item sprite displays a worn parchment inscribed with dark green runic summoner glyphs.
Drop rates from Mourning Wood range from approximately 2% on early waves up to 20% on wave fifteen.
