What have people found to be the sources of the unknown scrolls?
So far we have:

Feather falling from the squeaky menace :)

I killed a wither and it dropped a knockback scroll
Prof Ion discovered that witches drop Aqua Affinity

wierd, as I remember FC saying he didn't want people farming the wither

Chickens?
Edit: Ralph, he said he didn't want people Auto-farming them.

I'm thinking it's probably bats.

Someone mentioned in another thread that silverfish drop efficiency. Might have been FC who said it, but I'm not sure.

This was in the last version (I think?).

My bad, I thought it was unchanged

The above is correct with regards to the wither: what I'm not keen on is auto-farming.

The arcane scroll drop on it is set to 100% drop rate, which means you should accumulate a fair number of the corresponding scroll while you're building beacons. That's really not about farming as much as it is about providing an additional reward for killing it.

Is the unbreaking enchantment applicable to all items with durability, like vanilla, or just tools?

Damn, I forgot to test that (I had a note to do so), but it should be applicable to all.

Did I get extremely lucky, or is the drop rate of scrolls from bats really high? I killed four bats with my battle axe while caving, and the first three all dropped a scroll.

Anyway, it will be fun to think up a way to farm bats.

FC stated in IRC last night that the intended way to farm bats is yet to be put in, so they're currently at a 20% droprate to compensate.

10% actually, so you got pretty lucky.

But yes, right now their drop rate is set so high because the farming method for them is still pending, meaning you have to hunt them manually.

..Not that this is too hard, those buggers are everywhere :P

I was hearing their squeaks so close, and searched everywhere, even in my wolf farm. Killed everyone, still hearing them. Turns out not one, not two, THREE of them were stuck in a 1x2x1 hole I accidentally left empty under my floor. Uuuugh.

Silverfish do drop Efficiency, While fixing our endfarm from the infestation, i killed one and it dripped it.

I found one!

:O

(don't mind the kibble)

was it the librarian or the priest?

Neither

I think it was the butcher

just found one too, with a butcher. it was sharpness. did you find another one with them?

EDIT: actualy I think it was the blacksmith

This just appeared: That's off a librarian man in white coat

this makes me question: are the villagers the Only source of these scrolls?

Well, if you exclude peaceful mobs such as cows and sheep, there simply aren't enough mobs for each of the scrolls. Seeing as FC has said he liked the trading system before, I wouldn't be surprised if it was.

Well, I wouldn't say that :)

What I like is the potential behind villagers. NOT the current implementation. However, as I've stated, revisions to villager behavior are coming shortly.
