+The Scroll of Wealth <u>is not found</u> in the final version of Diablo III. This page is purely an archive, preserved for historical purposes.
 When present during development, scrolls of wealth allowed characters to sell items from anywhere, even in the dungeons. This feature was to pair with the early version of the [[Nephalem Cube]] style [[salvaging]], and together they allowed players to sell and salvage items without needing to return to town. Items sold could be repurchased via the [[buyback]] window at any NPC merchant in town.

-The Scroll of Wealth was introduced during early development. It was a scroll that players could use to instantly sell items from their inventory, without returning to the [[caravan]] or dealing with an [[NPC]] merchant. The purpose was to work with [[salvaging]] and keep gameplay fast and fun, giving players ways to liquidate their inventories without leaving the field of battle.

+The Cauldron of Jordan itself was removed[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/diablo-3-progress-report-2] in January 2012, as the developers felt they'd made the game too convenient and that there needed to be pauses for players to return to town now and then.

+Jay Wilson revealed the Scroll of Wealth during an interview at Gamescom, 2010. His quote was short and to the point.<ref>[http://diablo.incgamers.com/blog/comments/jay-wilson-interview-gamona/ Jay Wilson Interview @ Gamescom 2010] - IncGamers August 20, 2010</ref>

 ==Scroll Function==
-The scroll was found from a monster drop in the demo build at Blizzcon 2010. It worked properly; to activate it required one click, which changed the pointer icon. Clicking that on an item sold the item, instantly vanishing it and adding [[gold]] to the player's supply.
+The scrolls were present in the playable PvM demo at [[BlizzCon 2010]]. The scroll worked simply; a left click activated it, turning the cursor into a selling icon. The first item a player clicked with it would then sell, instantly, just as though the player was at an NPC merchant in town.

-How much will Scrolls of Wealth cost? How readily accessible will they be? It's assumed that they will be sold by the [[Mystic]], or perhaps the [[Jeweler]]. They were not seen in the [[Blacksmith]]'s items for sale, when his interface was profiled in August, 2010.
