Sub-Types[ | ]

There are 7 sub-types of Insight Scrolls:

Rarity	Lasts 10 minutes	Lasts 5 minutes. Recharges when a boss dies.	Lasts 30 seconds. Recharges when any foe dies.
Common	Adventurer's Insight 150% XP Value: 100	Hunter's Insight 175% XP Value: 150	Rampager's Insight 200% XP Value: 125

Notes[ | ]

Scrolls affect player characters and heroes in PvE; they have no effect in PvP.
The bonuses stack with Nightfall Bounty and Hard Mode experience bonuses.
Players use scrolls for
- Leveling up characters or heroes more quickly.
- Generating extra experience towards the Survivor title.
- Working off Death Penalty more quickly. (However, this has become less common due to the widespread availability of various DP-removing sweets and other consumables.)
